Vice-President Bawumia has not offered US$800 million for Kennedy Agyapong to step down from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer race, a statement from Gideon Boako, spokesperson of the campaign team has said.
A flagbearer hopeful of the NPP, Kennedy Agyapong earlier alleged that he was offered a colossal US$800 million to step down from the presidential primary race.
But Boako in statement said, “The vice-president has never instructed anybody to meet with Kennedy Agyapong, or his assigns to negotiate anything in respect of this contest.”
“The vice-president and his team consider this US$800 million claim as absolutely ridiculous, and it shows gross disregard for the intelligence of Ghanaians,” the spokesperson of the Bawumia campaign team added.

CLAIMS BY HON. KENNEDY AGYAPONG OF BEING OFFERED $800 MILLION TO STEP DOWN FALSE
It has come to the attention of the Bawumia Campaign that a fellow contender in the NPP flagbearership race, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has alleged that he was offered a colossal $800 million to step down from the presidential primary race.
The Bawumia Campaign, accordingly, wishes to respond as follows:
1. The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has not met privately with Kennedy Agyapong since he entered into the race.
2. The Vice President has never instructed anybody to meet with Kennedy Agyapong, or his assigns to negotiate anything in respect of this contest.
3. The Vice President and his team consider this $800 million claim as absolutely ridiculous, and it shows gross disregard for the intelligence of Ghanaians.
4. Dr. Bawumia is, and has always been confident that by the Grace of God, he will defeat Hon. Kennedy Agyapong quite well on November 4th and has never entertained any wish for him to step down from the contest.
5. It is instructive to note that the latest allegation by Kennedy Agyapong, is a rehash of a similar allegation he made about a month ago, claiming without proof, that he was offered money to step down and be a running mate to Dr. Bawumia – a baseless claim we publicly denied on 30 September 2023.
6. The Vice President is a man noted for his modesty, and he remains committed to his life-long values of serving people with his intellect.
7. While urging the public to disregard such outrageous lies, directed subtly at the Bawumia Campaign, we also reiterate Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to running a decent campaign devoid of personality attacks, lies, and insults to preserve the unity of our great party.
