Social media reactions to Bryan Acheampong's 'We won’t hand over power' comment

Member of Parliament for Abetifi Constituency, Bryan Acheampong is trending on Twitter after some comments he made during a health walk at Mpraeso.

The MP is quoted to have said the New Patriotic Party will do everything within its means to win the 2024 general elections.

According to him, the NPP is not ready to hand over power to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), therefore his party will go into the election fully prepared.

Bryan Acheampong’s comments have infuriated some well-meaning Ghanaians and some gurus in the NDC.

It is on the back of these comments that the MP is trending on social media.

To some, his comments are worrying and therefore need to be attended to. Others also are of the view that the MP needs to be forgiven for making such comments.

I beg Ghanaians & the NDC @OfficialNDCGh to forgive Bryan Acheampong, MP Abetifi Constituency @NPP_GH for what he said. I wasn't his fault. @Joy997FM

Wee (ganja) smoking by MPs & politicians is getting out of hand. The IGP @GhPoliceService should urgently do something about it.

Where's Sheikh I.C Quaye today? He shared the same arrogance in the latter days of Prez Kuffuor's. He saids, "the NDC will never come to power today or tomorrow" during their seven-teen member flagbearership contest in Legon. But they lost or? Bryan Acheampong will sleep in 2024.

What are u insinuating.Are u supporting the statement of this useless guy?Bryan Acheampong is a single individual nd the power of the people is stronger than any single person.When u speak like this,then u're giving his rants some weight. Do u think that NDC does not need power?
