Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, A Plus
Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has slammed individuals who claim that his habit of “talking too much” has worsened since he was sworn in as an MP.
In a video shared on social media on January 13, 2025, A Plus challenged those offering what he described as unsolicited advice, stating that if such people think they know how to communicate, they should focus on winning an election themselves.
“Don’t sit somewhere and say, ‘A Plus, I want to give you some advice. Since you’ve become an MP, you should learn how to talk to people.’ Herh! If you think you know how to talk and haven’t won an election, go and win one,” he said.
Recently, just before A Plus was sworn in as an MP, he took to social media several times to rant about his decisions regarding caucusing with either the NDC or NPP in Parliament.
Initially, he mentioned that he had set conditions for one of the two major political parties, stating that if those conditions weren’t met, he would not caucus with them in Parliament.
A Plus, who felt both parties needed him to increase their numbers in Parliament, claimed to have met with NDC leadership and NPP’s Kennedy Agyapong in an effort to convince him to join their sides.
However, this barrage of talks led netizens to lament that A Plus was doing too much and portraying himself as more important than he actually was at the time.
As the criticisms piled up, he took to social media and went live in a series of videos to hit back at his detractors, a move that was familiar to his behaviour prior to becoming an MP.
In his most recent video, A Plus even claimed to have received advice from Shatta Wale that helped him win his parliamentary seat, along with other comments that many netizens felt were unnecessary.
Netizens have since strongly asserted that being an MP should come with a sense of decorum and a more composed personality, stating that A Plus should have left behind his old habits of discussing irrelevant matters and engaging in social media disputes.
