I will use agric to feed the whole of Africa if become president – Ken Agyapong

New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong has disclosed that he will use agriculture to feed Africa if elected President of Ghana.

Kennedy Agyapong envisions using the Northern part of the country as the food basket of Africa.

“If you vote me today or elect me as President of Ghana, I will use the five regions of the north, Afram plains, and Volta region to feed the whole of Africa,” he promises.

Addressing thousands of party folks after the 'showdown walk,' which commenced at Ayi Mensah and ended at the premises of Oman FM at Madina Zongo-junction, the Assin Central legislator stressed that Ghana can see real socio-economic development if agriculture is boosted.

According to him, God has blessed Ghana with resources and needs a visionary leader who can put the resources to good use to benefit Ghanaians.

“We have lands here, and we are saying we are poor. We are not poor, we need a push and enlightenment. People must have confidence, so we take our destiny into our own hands and the sky will be the limit," the presidential aspirant added.

He continued that he would be leveraging his philanthropism, honesty, love for humanity, and most importantly his desire to develop the country.

The lawmaker for Assin Central Constituency, Mr Kennedy Ohene Agyapong disclosed that any attempt by the NPP to field Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will spell doom for the party on November 4.

"NPP needs someone like me if it wants to retain power and break the eight-year election cycle jinx," he stressed.
