Sarpong: Focus on Ken Agyapong\u2019s humility, leadership qualities, not temper"},"content":{"rendered":"

Dr. K.K. Sarpong, former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), has described the fiery temperament of New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong as manageable, urging party delegates to focus on his overall qualities rather than his outspoken nature.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Agyapong has often been described as a \u201cno-nonsense\u201d individual who is easily provoked, a perception that has generated debate within the party.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Channel One\u00a0\u00a0TV<\/span><\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Face to Face<\/em>\u00a0with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Tuesday, January 20, Dr. Sarpong said Mr. Agyapong typically reacts only when provoked and should be assessed based on the totality of his character.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did a summary, his pluses were higher. I\u2019m saying that the only problem people could see is with his speech. For me, we can manage that so that he can do the good things in him for the benefit of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sarpong also pointed to Mr. Agyapong\u2019s record, noting the absence of corruption allegations against him. \u201cHave you heard that he\u2019s been tagged with corruption? If he\u2019s insulting people, that is one side, but have you looked at the totality of his personality?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He added that his closer interaction with the NPP aspirant had revealed a more humble side. \u201cI got closer to him and saw how humble he is. Now he must be behaving presidential. Let us be honest, in the last six months, have you heard anything about him that is negative? It\u2019s not pretence,\u201d Dr. Sarpong said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Kennedy Agyapong\u2019s recent conduct and leadership choices demonstrate maturity, and he should be judged beyond a single trait. \u201cWhatever he is, don\u2019t judge him on one variable; judge him on the totality of the variables,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
