In a video on X, Ken Agyapong added that one of the other four aspirants had also signed in the space meant for him.

“When they brought the peace pact document, none of the aspirants read it. Hon. Bryan Acheampong signed where I was supposed to sign because he did not read it. That is how they sell Ghana; when they are given documents, they just sign.”

"I started reading the document immediately they gave it to me. Point two stated that everyone should sign to accept the results of the elections, no matter how they turn out. However, I disagreed because of incidents that occurred in the previous primary," he added.

"Ken is the leader Ghana need at this critical point in our history. No Cambridge English, just practical experience and knowledge. But he has no emotional intelligence lol 😆. Our problem as a country is more followership than leadership."

"What he said is true. I can remember the J. A Kufour regime, a minister signed on a loan deal, and when the opposition(NDC) traced it, it was hair dresser salon name from Germany."

@sgmmeyoo said:

"I agree with what Ken is saying cos you can’t be signing anything without reading. How would you know it’s beneficial or not? This isn’t about revealing secrets but rather telling them the truth, and the truth hurt so people may think Ken doesn’t have emotional intelligence."
