NPP MP sobers up

The Dispatch says there are credible indications that the NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, Hon Ohene Agyapong, has sobered up, after his attitude towards a law enforcement officer.

According to the Dispatch, this was evident at the NPP National Congress at Legon last Saturday, when he was stopped by some Policemen on duty to identify himself as he did not have any identification tag either as a delegate or official.

He is reported to have “coolly brought out an identity card from his pocket and was allowed into the congress hall”.

When the Policemen on duty were informed that he is the MP of ‘do you know who I am’ fame, an NPP supporter remarked, “he go talk true. Whatever the top hierarchy told him has obviously sobered him up.”

The paper recalls its August 17 to 23 publication in which the MP was said to have openly threatened a Police Sergeant in uniform with “you foolish officer, I will slap you. Nonsense. Do you know who I am?” The incident took place at the Kotoka International Airport at about 9.30pm on August 4.
