Former Member of Parliament for Tema East, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has launched a stinging attack on two prominent figures of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, accusing them of making comments that are damaging to party unity ahead of the NPP’s presidential primaries.
Speaking on a panel discussion on Good Morning Ghana, the former Deputy Minister of Transport criticized Kennedy Agyapong, a leading flagbearer hopeful, for publicly describing Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as a “liar.”
Titus Glover questioned the rationale behind the comment, warning that such language could have lasting consequences for party cohesion.
“There’s a way you communicate with your leaders and your peers. Somebody you once marketed as a good candidate, today you turn around and describe him as a liar, when you could have taken time to verify the information given to you,” he said.
According to him, subsequent clarifications showed that Dr Bawumia had not made the statement attributed to him, making the accusation unwarranted.
Titus Glover further challenged Kennedy Agyapong to consider the implications of his remarks should he emerge victorious in the primaries.
“If he wins on the 31st and we are calling for unity to market him, how will he be bold enough to stand side by side with Dr Bawumia and tell the people that what he said in the past was not truthful?” he asked.
His comments come amid reports that Mr Agyapong has remained defiant, insisting he will not apologise over the “Bawumia is a liar” claim.
The former Tema East MP also turned his attention to Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, a former Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, over remarks in which he reportedly described the NPP as a “fake party.”
Titus Glover expressed deep disappointment, stressing that the NPP played a central role in Prof Frimpong-Boateng’s rise to national prominence.
“The very vehicle that championed you under President Kufuor, made you Chief Executive of Korle Bu, brought you into government and gave you a ministerial position, you sat on national television and described that vehicle as fake,” he said.
He questioned the motivation behind what he described as attacks by senior party elders on their own political tradition, describing the development as troubling.
“I don’t know what is wrong with some of our elders. It is very difficult for me to attack them back, but this is not a good sign to the extent of saying he did not even vote in 2024. What kind of hatred is this?” Titus Glover added.
The remarks by the former MP add to growing concerns among party faithful about internal divisions as the NPP approaches a crucial phase in its leadership selection process, with several voices within the party calling for restraint, discipline, and unity.
