Ghanaian media personality Afia Pokuaa, popularly known as Vim Lady, has taken a swipe at New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong, accusing him of failing to defend Sarah Adwoa Safo, the mother of his children, during her difficult period.
According to Vim Lady, Kennedy Agyapong should have stood by Adwoa Safo, the former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, when she faced intense public criticism and political backlash.
Speaking on her Gyaso Gyaso show, Afia Pokuaa alleged that the recent fallout between Kennedy Agyapong and Adwoa Safo goes beyond politics and has deep personal undertones.
She argued that although Adwoa Safo is married, her husband is relatively new in her life, whereas Kennedy Agyapong, who has two children with her, knows her better and should have been her pillar of support.
“What Kennedy Agyapong did was wrong because he failed to protect her. I don’t blame Adwoa Safo for criticising him because this is not about politics, that is her baby daddy,” Vim Lady stated.
She further suggested that Adwoa Safo’s controversial absence from Parliament and her social media activities at the time were influenced by health challenges.
“When Adwoa Safo was away and doing TikTok, she was not herself. It was sickness. And when someone is vulnerable, that is when you expect loved ones to be there for the person. If nothing at all, the baby daddy you have two children with should support you,” she said.
Vim Lady criticised Kennedy Agyapong for publicly attacking Adwoa Safo instead of shielding her from public ridicule.
“Kennedy should have been behind her and protected her, but he went to UTV to fire her. That is where I feel he went wrong,” she added.
Meanwhile, Sarah Adwoa Safo has urged delegates of the NPP, ahead of the party’s upcoming flagbearer election, not to vote for Kennedy Agyapong, with whom she shares two children.
What Kennedy Agyapong said that angered Adwoa Safo
The tension between the two dates back to February 2022, when Kennedy Agyapong, then Member of Parliament for Assin Central, publicly criticised Adwoa Safo over her prolonged absence from Parliament while she was outside the country.
At the time, the ruling NPP required the full attendance of its MPs to conduct government business, as Parliament was operating under a hung legislature.
Speaking on Asaase Radio, Agyapong accused Adwoa Safo of refusing to return to Ghana due to what he described as personal demands. He further claimed that then President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was being too lenient with her, a situation he said undermined party discipline and weakened the government’s legislative agenda.
