During a recent edition of May 11, 2026, Onua Maakye, Captain Smart waded into the controversy, urging Taylor to show respect to the elder statesman.
Captain Smart respectfully advised, 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 TV/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.

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.
