Gomoa Central MP Kwame Asare Obeng, commonly known as A-Plus, has issued a public apology for his “inappropriate” social media comments aimed at Bolgatanga East MP and Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine.
In an official statement released today, A-Plus clarified that the controversial post originated from an impersonator’s account and not from his verified social media platforms. However, he acknowledged that his own subsequent response on Facebook to Dr. Ayine’s remarks during a press conference was “disrespectful.”
“Upon reflection, I recognize that the tone and choice of words I used were inappropriate. As a Member of Parliament and a younger colleague, I sincerely apologize to Hon. Dr. Ayine and to the general public,” he stated.
The controversy arose when Dr. Ayine referenced allegations from the fake account during a press conference and challenged A-Plus to clarify his position regarding a separate National Service Secretariat (NSS) scandal.
A-Plus denied any involvement, asserting that he had no dealings with the NSS and had only assisted an individual seeking media support to clear his name.
“The only time I came into contact with the issue was in November 2024, when a gentleman approached me claiming he was being falsely accused. As a media personality and majority shareholder in a Ghanaian media company, he sought my assistance to help clear his name through media engagements. If this support is being misinterpreted as an attempt to suppress the case, I respectfully disagree. I firmly believe that every accused person deserves to be heard.”
Despite distancing himself from the impersonated account, A-Plus took responsibility for his own Facebook post, which he has since deleted as a “gesture of remorse.” He emphasized his commitment to fighting corruption with “integrity, fairness, and mutual respect.”
