Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Tuesday, Mr Agyapong said the MP should have been physically assaulted the more for secretly working against the party’s flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo.
“He’s done well beating him. Let them go to hell. He should have beaten him more than he did. They are always playing the fool. I will support Wontumi today, tomorrow, any time,” he fumed.
When the host of the show, KABA sought to draw his attention that the victim is a sitting MP, Mr Agyapong replied, “If you are a sitting MP and you fool around, we will beat you because we are wild. I said he deserved the beatings.”
“Me, opposition… I’m living good! I don’t care. We are sick and tired of these people. Why?” he fumed again.
