You are “a nobody” if not for drug trafficking, that is the take of Alhaji
Bature on how Kennedy Agyapong became rich.
"Rambling on, Bature said that he knew the MP’s mother way back in the 70’s and
that she was selling plastic wares at Maamobi market, a suburb of Accra, and
that during those times he bought ‘buta’, a plastic water receptacle, which had
a defect, but when he returned it to the MP’s mother, she failed to refund him
his money.
Alhaji Bature said among others, that the MP was a known cocaine dealer whose
couriers could be found at Spintex and Nima, both suburbs of Accra.
He maintained that the MP’s sister and husband were all cocaine dealers, and it
was from drug money that they set up a petrol filling station in Madina, among
other properties, including a hotel."
I am not holding court for Kennedy Agyapong for going ballistic and insulting
Northerners with his PEPENI and crack heels diatribe. I don't have any sympathy
for Alhaji Bature and would have praised Kennedy Agyepong if he had directed his
insults to Bature alone instead of going bonkers and insulting all Northereners
because blabbermouth 'kaaji kaaji' Bature,a self ascribed 'well known'
Journalist should learn how to behave going from one radio station to another
tarnishing the image of People he wished to have been.
What we have to realise is that, Bature started this nonsense accusing Kennedy
Agyepong and his family members of being drug dealers without providing a
scientilla of evidence to back his prevarications. He Agyapong has every right
to defend his family's honor. Bature is a low life who accepted a used Toyota
RAV4 from the Mills NDC administration to tarnish the image of NPPians, he
deserves no sympathy.
It is now fashionable among non-Akans, especially the Ewes to accuse anybody
who is rich with Akan name of being a drug dealer, how did we end up in this
mess? Even `Asantehene has not escaped the hate mongers scapel. Asantehene
bought a mansion in London for 5 million dollars and Asanti haters attributed it
to cocaine money when this King earns enough royalties from properties in
Ashanti region and beyond its borders to pay for this house.
The reputation of rich Akans, especially Asantis are being destroyed by jealous
people who always attribute the success of these people through thimblerig or
drug deals. The sockdolager by Kennedy Agyepong to Alhaji Bature was in order
because he has every right to defend himself and his family's reputation.
As an Asanti, it's very irritating when other people drug dealings are put at
the footsteps of our doors. Eric Amoateng is busted for dealing drugs in USA and
Asantis were carved like thanksgiving turkey at the dinning table when Amoateng
is a Bono from Nkoranza. Asantis did not even escape from NDC drug courier
Benneh's transgressions in Switzerland, when Benneh is a Bono from Berekum.
Do we have Asanti drug dealers? 'Damnnn' sure have some drug dealers from the
Asanti tribe but tell me what tribe in Ghana is immuned from the drug trade. We
have Northerners, Gas, Ewes, Akyems, Nzemas, Kwahus, Bonos and every tribe in
Ghana engaged in this drug business.
Kennedy Agyepong, you might not like the guy but at least he is doing his best
employing hundreds of people at his hotel, telecommunication,petrol station and
farm enterprises something Bature can't match. Bature's ranting is tinged with
jealousy.
The government of Ghana cannot solve the unemployment situation in our country
by itself but if we are going to accuse Ghanaians who have the capital to set up
companies to ease our unemployment problems as drug dealers, then we have a long
way to go.
