Hon Aponkye buys brand-new V8 for just GHC25.00 (photo)

He lost to Abdul Rashid who polled 1,056 of the total votes cast in the just ended District Assembly and Unit Committee elections held across Ghana.

Although he enjoyed huge media publicity before the elections due to his weird promises of giving breakfast to residents of his electoral area if voted to represent them among other gargantuan promises, Aponkye never won.

In spite of the woeful loss, his popularity continues to heighten. The latest news of him that grabbed social media attention was the wristwatch he claimed to have purchased for GHC25.00.

He told Nana Abah Namoah who brought him into the media limelight proper that he watch branded ‘Super Speed V8’ was priced GHC40.00 but reduced to GHC25 for him because of his popularity.

Nana Abah posted a photo of the wristwatch on twitter with the inscription: 

Me: Aponkye, I like your watch 

Aponkye: thanks. Its V8 It’s expensive paa. 

Me: how much?

Aponkye: 40 cedis but they reduce to 25 for me because I’m now popular.

The post has since gone viral with twitter users reacting hilariously to the V8 watch.
