Legendary Kumawood actor, Kofi Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo has responded to claims that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) funded his new house in Kumasi.
Agya Koo became the talk of town after he unveiled a mansion in the garden city which he claims he commenced construction in 2007.
He has subsequently received praises from Ghanaians for making use of the money generated from the movie industry for a good cause.
However Kumawood actor, Oboy Siki disagreed and alleged that Agya Koo’s luxurious-looking mansion has been funded from money the actor got from endorsing the NPP.
Oboy Siki claimed that Agya Koo’s endorsement deal with the NPP provided him with a substantial amount of money, which he used to raise the plush mansion.
“Agya was sidelined in the movie industry, so things weren’t going well for him, so in 2016, he went to do an endorsement for NPP, and that is where he got enough money. So, I want to explain to Ghanaians that, for us, the movie actors, if we can build, our money cannot build a proper house.
“So, all those who have built in Accra with these big mansions are not funds from the movie industry, so if anybody says so, that is a very big lie. The NPP money helped Agya to fund his building …with my knowledge and the things I know, that money was used for the building,” he said.
