Musician and political activist, Kwame A-Plus has opened up on his strained relationship with Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
According to A Plus, he used to be good friends with the Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi however, that is no more the case as the MP has now joined the group of lying politicians.
Speaking on Kofi TV he said, “Kojo Oppong Nkrumah used to be my friend; now, I don’t like him. I won’t lie and say we’re in a good relationship. I don’t like him. If I see him, I’ll pass; but if he greets me, I’ll respond. We must accord people respect.”
He explained that Mr Oppong Nkrumah labelled him a bitter person after criticising the Akufo Addo government’s fight against corruption.
“In 2016, I dedicated my time and risked my life for him [Oppong Nkrumah]. I went to Ofoase Ayirebi to help him win the parliamentary elections. I did it for free, I just wanted to help him to win.
“So when you win and go for a radio interview on corruption and I’m mentioned that I have criticized the government about its way of fighting corruption and you create an impression that ‘A Plus is not a serious guy, he has fallen out with the government so no one should take him serious’, I’ll come at you,” he said.
A Plus continued; “I’m not your co-equal. You are a government appointee, I run my own business. I’m not an appointee. The government tasked me but revoked it after three months thinking I’ll die as a result. I have survived it. Out of my free will, I supported your campaign and it meant I meant well for you. So if you become a minister and think you have power, don’t think you can use that power to disrespect people who genuinely supported you.”
