Ghanaian politician and activist, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, is unwilling to honour an invitation by Atinka FM.
A Plus, an independent Member of Parliament hopeful at the Gomoa Central and other parliamentary at the constituency were to engage in a debate on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
He would have debated with NDC’s Kwame Yawson and the incumbent MP from the NPP, Naana Eyiah Quansah.
But on Wednesday, A Plus took to social media to announce his disinterest in the upcoming debate. However, he gave a condition that would make him participate in the debate if fulfilled.
He said the debate being organized by Atinka FM will not impact his campaign and it won’t provide any benefit to him.
A Plus added that he has a larger following than the media outlet, stressing that they need him more.

He wrote: “Dear Atinka FM, Thank you for the invitation. I want to be clear: your debate will not impact my campaign and won’t provide any benefit to me. In fact, Kwame A Plus has a larger following than Atinka FM! You need me, I dont! It’s important to recognize that my appearance would primarily attract sponsors and generate revenue for you, so please, pay me.
On the same date and time, I have committed to partnering with the @becksglaucomafoundationghana to celebrate World Glaucoma Day in Gomoa Ekwamkrom. I will be conducting eye screenings to address various conditions, particularly glaucoma, and providing free medications to those in need. I also want to mention that your station is owned by Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited. Previously, when I requested medications for a free health screening in my constituency, you asked for payment. After I complied, you sent me viagra and Mr Q. 🙄
I would consider participating in your program only if you agree to supply free medications for the poor inmates at Osamkrom Prison Camp, whose clinic is in urgent need of supplies. Those individuals featured on your flyer were relatively unknown until I entered the race. But for me, who knew about Kwame Dean or Naana Eyiah? 🤷♂️🙄 My involvement has brought them attention, which they have not paid me for. I will not continue to give them free exposure without receiving something of significant value in return. Please let me know if you are willing to provide medications to the Gomoa Osamkrom Prison Camp. If not, I must respectfully decline.”
