X (formerly known as Twitter) is buzzing and this is thanks to Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.
Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer aspirant for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asserted that he was offered $800 million to withdraw from the party's presidential race and support his rival, Vice President Dr. Bawumia.
In an interview with Time FM, he said “Does he know the number of people who have approached me but for the love of Ghana and the delegates I have said I will never do it?
"The money they offered is $800 million, if he doesn’t know. He should ask Mr Oppong Bio, if that is what they are saying but I said no I will not step down, Ghana first.
“In 2016, you people were not able to buy pickups. How come today you are able to offer me $800 million? So I said I won’t step down…” he stated.
His comments have been scrutinized by some X users who believe it is absurd such an offer will be made. According to them, the amount being mentioned is gargantuan. They even believe, Elon Musk said to be the wealthiest man in the world would not make such a proposal.
One X user, @JefferyAnkamah wrote: "I am not a political activist but, I can't just believe this political gimmick! Even, Elon Musk won't reimburse a person with this enormous container money! We're talking about 800 million! Money that's closer to 1 billion can never be a caricature!"
