The founder of The Base Movement, Dr. George Oti Bonsu, has clarified the origins of the group, stating that it was established out of admiration for Kennedy Agyapong and his vision for Ghana’s development.
Speaking on UTV Ghana, he dismissed claims that actor Agya Koo founded the movement.
According to him, the idea to form the group stemmed from his personal admiration for Kennedy Agyapong’s leadership style, ideas, and mindset, which he believes resonate with many Ghanaians.
He explained that he initially engaged members of Kennedy Agyapong’s fundraising team with the idea of creating a support base for him.
Dr. Oti Bonsu said the proposal was accepted, and discussions were held in Cape Coast, where Kennedy Agyapong also endorsed the initiative and informed his various support groups about it.
He noted that at the time, it was only referred to as a “base” and had not yet evolved into a full movement.
He added that actor Agya Koo later reached out with his team and joined the group after its formation.
“I founded The Base Movement out of admiration for Kennedy Agyapong—Agya Koo only joined later; he is not the founder,” he said.
