The (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, , has criticised North Tongu MP , insisting that he "must bow his head in shame and apologise" for what he described as a deliberate disservice to Ghana over the controversial presidential jet debate.
Speaking in an interview with Oman FM in August and later sharing excerpts on his Facebook page, Agyapong said Ablakwa's consistent opposition to the proposed acquisition of a new presidential aircraft under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration was not only misguided but also fueled by partisan motives.
According to the outspoken former MP for Assin Central, the unnecessary politicisation of the matter by the NDC legislator undermined a critical national interest, especially in light of the recent military helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight senior officials. "The recent helicopter crash that claimed eight precious lives should be a wake-up call for us all on the extent to which unnecessary partisanship is destroying our country," he said. "For the sake of political expedience, Hon Okudzeto Ablakwa vehemently opposed the acquisition and engaged in unfortunate banter.
He must bow his head in shame and apologise for his disservice to our dear country," Agyapong charged.
