The conflict follows Taylor’s recent description of 87-year-old former President John Agyekum Kufuor as "lazy," a remark that triggered a formal condemnation from the NPP on May 8, 2026.
Who the hell is Kufuor - Kevin Taylor
During a recent edition of Onua Maakye, Captain Smart waded into the controversy, urging Taylor to show respect to the elder statesman.
"He is not your size, apologise to him," Captain Smart reportedly pleaded, suggesting that the attacks had crossed a line of cultural decency.
However, Taylor did not take the advice kindly. In a Facebook live stream on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, he descended heavily on the Onua FM presenter.
"How dare you to say I have to apologise to former President John Agyekum Kufuor. Who the hell is Kufuor?" Taylor vented. He went further to repeat his contentious claims, stating that the former President "dares not" and is "too lazy to walk," referencing Kufuor's current reliance on a wheelchair.

NPP respond to Kevin Taylor
The NPP has described Taylor’s sustained attacks as a "desecration of a national icon" and has called on the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to "rein in" the broadcaster, whom they claim has deep ties to the government.
The party’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, emphasized that such comments go beyond political discourse and amount to an affront to a statesman who served the country with distinction.
