Character is like a diarrhoea, you can't hide it forever - Samuel Atta Akyea jabs Ken Agyapong
Samuel Atta Akyea, a former New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has sparked controversy with his statement that Ghanaians should not elect a leader who will embarrass the country at the United Nations. This comment was directed at Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful of the party, and has drawn backlash from Agyapong's supporters.
In an interview with Adom FM, shared on Facebook, Atta Akyea stood by his words, asserting that Agyapong's actions and statements are well-documented and cannot be hidden. He compared Agyapong's behavior to that of someone with diarrhoea, suggesting that no amount of medication can stop the truth from coming out.
"The person you want to become the flagbearer is not someone you can advise. Whatever Ken, who was my classmate in Adisadel, says he will do, he will do it; you can’t stop it. He would even do it in public for people to record it," he said. "So, nobody has invented any story about him. His actions that have been recorded, the things he says, the pastors who have been insulted, the leaders who were insulted, all these things are not the invention of Atta Akyea. They are things he has said."
Atta Akyea, a former Minister of Works and Housing, took a swipe at Agyapong, suggesting that his true nature cannot be concealed indefinitely. He also mentioned that Agyapong's past use of filthy words on Akufo-Addo further supports his claim.
"If you have diarrhoea and you take medication, it does not mean it (the diarrhoea) has stopped… You cannot fake the condition you are in. So, if you are having a running tummy, and you go and take medication, the diarrhoea will not stop. That is what we are seeing now," he said. "Some of the things Ken said are coming out, and people are running. People have quit on some of the issues about Ken; more could even come out."
