The Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, is trending on X after threatening to withdraw his support for the government's plan to build an AstroTurf for residents of the Kintampo North constituency, accusing them of treating his party unfairly.
Additionally, Legon Stadium is trending at number 2 on Friday September 13, 2024, following a request from the Ministry of Youth and Sports for the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to inspect the Legon Stadium for the possibility of using it to host Ghana’s home games in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers.
Several other trending topics include Akua Donkor, Pius Hadzide, Stephen Appiah, National Theatre, Efua Ghartey, Accra stadium, Kivo, Uncle Ebo Whyte, Essien, Kwame Owusu Danso, Malik Basintale and Asuogyaman.
Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:
Kennedy Agyapong
A video of him making these statements has angered netizens, who are now backlashing him for allegedly threatening voters.
Legon Stadium
Netizens are criticising Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, after a video showing the current state of the Legon Stadium was made public.
The pitch is in poor condition and not suitable for hosting matches.
Akua Donkor
Presidential candidate-hopeful, Akua Donkor, filed her nomination at the Electoral Commission on Thursday September 12, 2024.
Stephen Appiah

Can you imagine what an NPP politician can say on stage? Which text book from all these swines? Kennedy Agyapong went to WinnieSec was that what he learnt? Must people vote for you before you do anything in their community? And what has been the impact of the various ASTRO turfs? https://t.co/tQew6Xs0Q8

In any sane society, this idiot's political career would've come to an end after he publicly called for attacks on a journalist who was killed.

This is the bum people were clamouring for to become president? https://t.co/Rfdz4awO85

You people who think Akua Donkor wastes money dey funny me waah😂😂you no know your country
— NeighbourhoodNip (@Mr_Shawty_Loew) September 12, 2024
Akua Donkor has ran for president every election cycle since I was mature enough to understand and be interested in politics - with no plan to win. No strategy. Nothing. She’s got the money though so cheers to her. 😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/6X2GgPg7Mz

When you reflect on where Ghana once stood in African football and the alarming rate at which we are regressing, it’s beyond words.

No one is held accountable, and shame no longer seems to exist in our leadership.
This dangerous lack of concern is destroying our pride and…
Great to see you speak out. You guys can't sit quietly and let politicians destroy what took you decades to build. I hope the few others will join you to speak out and regain control over our local game.🔥

The leadership in Ghana is indeed questionable. It's absurd that the sports minister remains in office despite numerous failures. How can we have over 5 stadiums but can't host a professional game? https://t.co/AhK0E6BD9E

When Capito tweets, you know we’ve reached rock bottom. I say it all the time, what happened to the Ghana Black Stars I moved loved?😞🤦🏾♂️ it’s so so sad. What happened to the slogan “bring back the love”….what is the @ghanafaofficial doing? https://t.co/pnh7TWW8ci

They’d rather spend $4m attending a tournament without accounting for it. Who is even putting who in checks ? It’s just a criminal cartel now. https://t.co/GONlCvHIdi

Yet still somebody at the sports ministry said Caf should come and inspect this pitch herrrr we are so dishonest https://t.co/td5aERlDLP

That pitch is so bad, the previous international break when the black stars were supposed to train over there before flying to Kumasi, the team had to still do one day at Accra Sports Stadium https://t.co/yXP8iHbwlW
