Justin Frimpong Kodua, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has publicly criticized Kennedy Agyapong in a candid interview on Adom TV, stirring debate about the influence of money in politics. His comments followed Agyapong’s donation of GH¢1 million to the party, which helped cover salary arrears and operational expenses. While the donation was seen by many as generous, Kodua firmly stated that financial support does not entitle anyone to special treatment or override the core principles of the NPP, emphasizing that the party’s values are not up for sale.
Tensions between the two figures have been building, with Kodua describing Agyapong as “too arrogant” and suggesting that his actions are divisive. Agyapong’s decision to distance himself from the party’s post-primary “Thank You Tour” added to the friction, especially after a stabbing incident involving individuals allegedly linked to him. Kodua criticized Agyapong’s behavior, warning that continued defiance and personal ambition threaten to destabilize the party.
At the heart of Kodua’s message is a call for renewed discipline and unity within the NPP. He underscored that influence should stem from loyalty and service rather than wealth or status. As the party approaches crucial elections, this internal conflict highlights a broader struggle over its future direction—whether it will remain grounded in collective values or be swayed by powerful individuals. Kodua’s stance, though controversial, has reignited national conversation on leadership, integrity, and the role of money in Ghanaian politics.
