The political airwaves crackled with intensity as Omanehe Kwabena Asante sharpened his critique of Kwabena Agyapong Agyei on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen.
In a follow-up to his earlier rebuke, Omanehe didn’t hold back: “I will tell you the truth—maybe you just want to splash money. Better give that money to children’s homes. The NPP is not ready for oldies, even when they see Bawumia.”

This layered statement carried both moral and strategic weight. On one hand, it reinforced his call for compassion over campaign spending. On the other, it hinted at a shifting political landscape within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), where generational change and fresh leadership are becoming rallying cries.
Omanehe’s remarks come at a time when over 60 NPP Members of Parliament have publicly endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2028 presidential race. Despite Bawumia’s association with past governance challenges, his continued support suggests the party is leaning toward continuity—but not necessarily toward its older stalwarts.
The broadcaster’s pointed reference to “oldies” underscores a growing sentiment that the NPP must evolve or risk alienating a younger, more impatient electorate. His challenge to Kwabena Agyapong Agyei isn’t just personal—it’s emblematic of a broader reckoning within Ghanaian politics: Who truly represents the future?
Omanehe’s voice, amplified by the platform and the moment, reminds us that leadership is not just about age or ambition—it’s about relevance, empathy, and impact.
And in a country where many still struggle for basic necessities, the call to redirect political funds toward social good is more than a soundbite—it’s a moral imperative.
His critique also taps into a deeper frustration among citizens who see political campaigns as extravagant exercises disconnected from the realities of everyday life.
The suggestion to invest in children’s homes instead of political machinery is not just rhetorical—it’s a demand for a new kind of leadership, one rooted in service rather than spectacle.
As the NPP navigates its internal dynamics and prepares for future contests, voices like Omanehe’s serve as a reminder that the electorate is watching—not just for promises, but for proof of purpose. Whether Kwabena Agyapong Agyei responds with humility or defiance remains to be seen, but the message is clear: Ghana’s political future belongs to those who prioritize people over power.
