“Ken, your presidency has a stain for allowing a disgraced, corrupt person like Nyantakyi on your campaign stage. Massa, you for look sharp, you don’t need people like this at this time. Even if you sympathise with him, not this time.”
@nii_jamesbond said:
“When I see someone called Acheampong speaking Ewe so well, I wonder why some people still think some regions should win their independence and be a separate state. Ghana is so beautiful. Your name doesn’t always tell what languages you can speak.”

“@honkenagyapong Ah, this is very sad! You branded yourself very well from the start of your presidential campaign, but now, with Nyantakyi on your campaign stage, you have ruined everything.”
@Smilesz2 said:
“Ghanaian politics is one giant joke. How do you allow a disgraced and corrupt former football executive to get involved in your campaign? This is a harbinger of what Ken will bring into his government when he becomes president.”

“The Nyantakyi rebranding is happening before our eyes.”
@GhanaianPlayers said:
“The way he's campaigning it feels like he's been promised the Sports Minister position. Hmm!”
