The development follows a press conference held on Wednesday, April 30, where Dr. Ayine rejected claims suggesting he accepted pickups and campaign funds from businessman Dr. Sledge, implying wrongdoing.

He responded strongly, saying: “If receiving donations or a pickup for your campaign is thievery, then there are 276 thieves in Parliament, including the one making the allegation.”

In a statement shared via his official Facebook page, A-Plus denied ever describing the Attorney General as corrupt or a thief. He said the claims attributed to him stemmed from a fake Twitter (X) account impersonating him.

“Let me make it clear: I have never, at any time, accused the Attorney General, Dr. Ayine, of corruption or theft. That claim is completely false. The statements circulating originated from a fraudulent account using my name and photo. Though it appears verified, it is not under my control,” he clarified.

He urged Ghanaians to disregard the misleading posts and refer to his verified Facebook page for accurate statements, particularly those relating to his views on the sanitation levy.

A-Plus also acknowledged that although his own Facebook response to the incident was emotionally charged, it was not appropriate. “I accept that I could have expressed myself in a more respectful and constructive manner. I take full responsibility. As a sign of respect, I’ve taken the post down—something I rarely do.”

On the separate matter involving the National Service Secretariat (NSS), the MP denied any involvement in wrongdoing. He stated he had never received any payments or had any form of business dealings with the Secretariat.

He explained that his only connection to the issue dates back to November 2024, when an individual approached him for help clearing their name. As a media personality and business owner, A-Plus said he agreed to help the person get their side of the story heard.

“Those who know me understand that I stand by people in difficult times. Just as I’ve shown support to Finance Minister Ato Forson, I extended media help to someone who said he was wrongly accused,” he noted.

Calling for transparency, A-Plus urged Dr. Ayine to provide any evidence that contradicts his statements. He reaffirmed his support for the government’s anti-corruption campaign and stressed the need for civility and cooperation among public officials.

“The fight against corruption is a key pillar of President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC’s vision. We must all commit to this cause with integrity and mutual respect,” he concluded.

In a statement, Mr. Frimpong categorically stated, “The NPP has not met with A-Plus, nor has it authorized anyone to convey any message to him on its behalf.”

The response follows remarks made by A-Plus on social media, where he alleged that the NPP, led by Kennedy Agyapong, had approached him with an offer to collaborate in Parliament.

According to A-Plus, the NPP’s proposal included an assurance not to contest the Gomoa Central parliamentary seat in the 2028 election.

A-Plus also revealed that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) had extended an invitation for a meeting, scheduled for tomorrow morning.

While expressing his inclination toward the NDC, he noted that his decision would ultimately depend on which party prioritizes his interests and those of the people of Gomoa Central.

“I will have to disappoint someone tomorrow,” A-Plus wrote, adding, “Deep down, my heart leans toward the NDC, but I will side with whoever provides the best offer for me and my people.”

However, the NPP has noted A-Plus’ deep thinking is of no use as they have not contacted him or delegated anyone to bid for parliamentary alliance on behalf of the party.

The launch, held at Gomoa Ekwamkrom, marked a significant milestone for A-Plus, who has been steadily building his political movement over the past year.

Addressing the enthusiastic supporters, he reflected on the journey so far, stating, “When we started, naysayers said it wouldn’t be sustained, but look at us now. One year later, we are officially launching my political bid.”

A-Plus assured his supporters that his campaign would play a vital role in capturing the seat from the over 50,000 across Gomoa.

He urged them to ignore the negative noise on social media associated with his name while professing his genuine love and care for Ghanaians.

Highlighting his commitment to community development, A-Plus mentioned the installation of water projects across multiple districts as a testament to his dedication to improving the lives of the people.

The event saw notable attendance, including A-Plus’ wife, Akosua Vee, who stood by her husband’s side at the campaign launch.

Entertainment critic Arnold Baidoo and several of his colleagues also graced the occasion to show their support.

A-Plus’ campaign launch in Gomoa Central marks the beginning of what promises to be an engaging and impactful political journey.

In a Facebook post on May 14, A-Plus expressed regret for any damage caused to Mr. Zein’s reputation due to false statements made against him.

He clarified that he has dedicated his adult life to advocating for the voiceless and underprivileged in society and would never intentionally harm anyone’s image.

“It may interest you to know that I’ve spent my adult life fighting for the voiceless, underprivileged persons, especially women and children, and minority groups. However, I must admit that I was misinformed on this particular matter. I am grateful to you for the opportunity to apologize to bring finality to the matter,” the post read.

A-Plus acknowledged the distress and damage his false statements may have caused Mr. Zein and expressed his commitment to setting the record straight. He also offered to make amends if needed.

The apology comes after an Accra High Court ruling ordering A-Plus to retract and apologize to Mr. Zein for the defamatory publication made against him.

In December 2021, Mr. Zein filed a defamation lawsuit against A-Plus, alleging that the musician’s use of his picture along with defamatory comments on Facebook was intended to injure his reputation.

The lawsuit sought general damages of GH₵10 million and an order directing A-Plus to retract the defamatory comment and picture through the same medium used for the defamation.

Though the details of what transpired in the video have not been stated, the video shared by musician cum social commentator, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, showed how some men with firearms got down from a vehicle, targeted, and shot at some individuals.

In a caption on the Facebook post, A Plus said a man who was spotted wearing Fugu and giving orders is allegedly the chief of Kyebi Apapam.

However, a Twitter user, Tabi_Henry, who also shared the video, said the gunshots were a result of a gun battle between a government anti-galamsey task force and some illegal miners (galamseyers).

Musicians A-Plus and Feli Nuna were among a panel discussing issues regarding the showbiz industry.

During the deliberation, the Off Da Ground signee was quizzed on whether her boyfriend invests in her career to which she responded in the negative.

A Plus, particularly, was among those who did not support Feli’s revelation about her significant other.

“Your boyfriend is rich but does not work in showbiz. So you’re going to look for someone to invest while your boyfriend hides his?” he quizzed on Saturday.

But Feli Nuna responded on Accra-based UTV saying; “Does what you’re saying make sense?”

She insisted that their relationship was strictly personal and had nothing to do with her showbiz interests for which reason he needs not invest in her craft.

However, the answer did not seem to go down well with the controversial socialite.

“You have a rich boyfriend who is not willing to invest in your music. You went to someone else for money and the person suggested that he likes you and you get angry. Let me tell you what doesn’t make sense, it is that boyfriend you’re moving with. He is very f*#king boy,” he said.

This sent the whole panel into another frenzy and prompted the host to call for cool heads to prevail.

In response, Feli Nuna, who is currently promoting his new single ‘Towel’, indicated that she will refrain from hurling insults at A Plus’ wife because of the respect she has for him.

“I like your wife and I won’t stoop to your level to insult your partner,” she told him.

She added that her boyfriend even sponsored the shooting of one of her music videos at some point in her career.

“He is a proud poet and research scientist. He is bright and more intelligent than you. He supports me as a woman and a girlfriend but my job as a musician has nothing to do with him,” she added.

The others were artiste manager, Bulldog, pundit Mr Logic and Samuel Atuobi Baah.

For this reason, Feli Nuna been trending on Twitter.

So I’m trending today because I protected my women! My day has been made?

Meanwhile, the head of her record label, Fuse ODG has reacted to the development.

According to him, the panel “has displayed how dangerous the creative industry space is for women in Ghana.”

“A man should have the right to want to have sex with the woman if the woman needs their investment? Proud of Feli for standing up & #IStandWithFeli” he tweeted on Sunday.

Musician and politician, Kwame A Plus, has assessed President Nana Akufo-Addo.

He said President Akufo-Addo would not exceed 20% if he was to personally examine his current efforts to help reduce corruption in the country.

Speaking on TV3, he said the President was overwhelmed as some persons in his government have not helped him to achieve his goals.

“If you ask me personally my relationship with Nana Addo, the kind of person I know Nana Addo to be and the kind of marking scheme I will use to mark him, I will give him 20%,” A Plus stated.

“He didn’t believe that his own people that he sent to go and stop galamsey will sell the gold and sell the excavators, I think he’s overwhelmed,” he stressed.

According to him, the person he knows wouldn’t allow these people involved in the galamsey incident to walk free under his watch.

“Nana told me in his house that when he becomes President, anybody who is corrupt in government, he will want to investigate,” he revealed.

The controversial singer said he campaigned for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) because he needed a change of governance and for the country to be better, however, he regrets this.

He explained to George Quaye on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z on Saturday that he is disappointed because the change he looked out for never happened.

“We wanted change, we believe everything that was been said, we believed it was not right for John Mahama to run a family and friends government. We believed that it was not right for John Mahama to have 87 ministers.

“They were too many and now we come and we have more than that. We live in a country where NPP and NDC are the same and it is the fact even though they don’t want to hear,” he stressed.

According to him the constitution charge government to provide a conduce environment for citizens.

“It is in the constitution that government must make me happy and give me employment. So if you come to power, you must give me employment, I must be employed.”

Last month, he told Joy News that there are too many criminals around President Akufo-Addo which makes the fight against corruption very difficult.

This, he believes, will dent the President’s legacy in nipping the canker in the bud.

“There are too many criminals around the president. Too many people want to use his government for their personal interest and it will affect his legacy.

“This is someone we have been with and helping the President protect the public purse by fighting corruption. Some people around him have decided to fight us; which very wrong” he opined.

He bemoaned the attacks unleashed on him in pointing out the ills in the current administration.
