Another billboard has been raised at the heart of the metropolis around the Tamale Jubilee Park attracting the attention of motorists in the town.
Though it is unclear those raising the billboards and fronting for the candidature of the 62-year business mogul and politician, the billboards have inscriptions such as: Kennedy Agyapong, Servant of the people 2024. Why ken? “Ghana first, voice for the voiceless, hope for the hopeless, Respectful, Optimistic, Hardworking, Hate lies and mediocrity, intelligent.
