He pleaded on other celebrities who are for John Mahama to accept Agya Koo’s opinion and desist from launching verbal attacks on him.

Asare Bediako speaking on Ashh FM National Agenda a day after Agya Koo, Matilda Asare, Mary Afriyie Forson, Ama Boahema and others endorsed the candidature of the NPP flagbearer.

He told host of the show Odeefour Kwasi Kay that, there are heavyweights in the industry who are for the NDC and President Mahama.
“Agya Koo is not the only person who pulls crowd in this industry, so very soon we will hold a massive press conference to introduce other bigwigs who are for the NDC to the general public.”
