Kwasi Earnest has said that Kofi B father's story since he arrived in Ghana after 35 years in Ivory Coast does not make any sense.

The CEO of Excel Media made this remark concerning Mr Richard Kwabena Boakye, the father of the late highlife musician, Kofi Boakye Yiadom a.k.a Kofi B, who claimed to have found his way back to Asante Akyem Agogo a few days after his son was buried.

Mr Richard explained that good Samaritan footed his travel expenses back to Ghana after he had been left impoverished by his farming lifestyle in Ivory Coast. 

“I left off for Abidjan in 1989 and started a farm. Though I’ve been through a lot of struggles and hardships, I’m still alive."

"They stole the little I had from me and now as I’m sitting here, I have nothing. No properties. I was sleeping on a bare floor at a bus station when a woman approached me and footed my transport fare back to Asante Akyem Agogo,” he said.

Kwasi Earnest has pointed out the holes in the narrative. 

He highlighted that Mr Richard could have come home anytime he wanted since Ivory Coast and Ghana share the same border and that he could not have been left impoverished by his farming lifestyle since he left the vast farmlands at Asante Akyem Agogo, to rather farm unsuccessfully in a foreign land.

“The man’s story baffles me a little, I mean he said he left 35 years ago, went to Ivory Coast and farmed for all that time, and lived in abject poverty and only came after his son had died. I mean for 35 years that his son made hit songs; he couldn’t even go to the Ghana station to beg them to bring him back?"

“And he said he was farming there, I mean Asante Akyem Agogo, they have vast lands that he could easily use, so for me if someone from there tells me that they didn’t get any land to farm but had to go to Ivory Coast to do farming, and live in such poverty such that when your son died you couldn’t come, and now look at how all your family members run away because they thought you were a ghost.

"The story just baffles me…I mean he left and went to Ivory Coast, not Copenhagen, and didn’t look back until his son died, now that his son is no more, he is back and with health issues too.”
