The dangerous love triangle between Railway Minister, John Peter Amewu and Angela List, the wife of the CEO of BCM Group Ghana Limited had escalated after the woman reportedly divulged private conversations she had with her husband to Mr. Amewu, leading to a confrontation between Paul List and the minister.
Whatsup News has intercepted tape recordings of a heated confrontation between BCM Group CEO, Paul List and Peter Amewu where Paul List described the Railway Minister as “disrespectful” and “insulting” for spending more time with his wife than he does.
The near-fisticuffs between the Minister and Paul List started when Mr. List accused his wife of snitching by informing Amewu that her husband had described him [Amewu] as a “Philanderer” or a womaniser.
According to the intercepted conversation, Angela List whose husband is disturbed by rumours of her possibly being sexually involved with Amewu, had confided in his wife his concerns. But quickly afterwards, the wife had called Peter Amewu to spill everything her husband had told her to him [Amewu].
Below is a direct transcript of the ensuing confrontation as intercepted by Whatsup News:
Paul: ….the rumour of you having an affair [with Angela List]
Amewu: …I wanted to know, since you said this might be coming from a friend-a friend you know…I want to know from you who that friend is…
Paul: I cannot tell you that.
Amewu: I will hold you responsible for that because did confirmed you go this information from a friend. That may also go saying it somewhere, you will be held responsible.
Paul: A friend told me, but I can’t betray my friend’s confidence.
Amewu:..Well, when you are called to order, you would say who the friend is. I am highly disappointed in you, Paul.
Paul: …Hang on, I wanted a few things I wanted to talk to you about. I must say, when I heard this, it did cause me some concern. I want to know, I don’t have anything against you…I always thought you are a reasonable guy, and that you could actually be a genuine friend. But what does concern me is the inordinate amount of time you spend with my wife.
Amewu: If you don’t want me to see your wife, you tell me. You asked me to stop coming to her offices…
Paul: You didn’t stop…
Amewu: Yeah, because I have something to do with her….
Paul: (cuts in), Do that at respectable hours, you know…the amount of time you spend with her, almost every day. And there is hardly a day going by when you are not spending time together, like in the office. I said to you rather than go to the office, please have some respect for me, come home and have your discussions. Because it detracts from her family life. You don’t seem to be sensitive to that. You take food to the office and you can be there till 10 or 11 o’clock at night and whereby the family are holed here. I often don’t get a meal. Michel sometimes hasn’t eaten, I have to organise something for her. That will be the considerate thing to do, you know, come home. Come here. I have welcomed you, I said you are welcome here.
Honestly John, it is too much, and it is disrespectful to me as a husband. You are spending so much time with my wife. Any husband will find that disturbing and incongruous…What you swapped roles with me is. Would you be happy if your wife is entertaining a certain man every day in the week?
Amewu: I don’t think I spent more time with your wife than you do…
Paul: You do, you do! I haven’t put a stopwatch on it but you do…For instance, on Valentine’s Day, on valentine’s night, I come home and you are here till 2 o’clock in the morning. Any husband will find that insulting, disrespectful.
Amewu: On Valentine’s Day…we were all together. You were here…
Paul: (Cuts in)…I was upstairs with Michel…John I was here, you were here, I retired to bed, I thought you would excuse yourself and I came down and you are still here…
Amewu: (cuts in)…We were all talking…when I was leaving, I think you came down before I left…and I left. What is wrong about that?
Paul: 2 o’clock in the morning is just too much, and the next day you were here. You were here on Valentine’s Day, virtually all day…and I think you took Angie to the airport…
Amewu: (Cuts in)…These are little things…
(Angela List walks in)
Amewu: Angela please come…sit down.
Angela: Has an apology been rendered (question is directed at her husband Paul List)…
Amewu: (Turning to Angela)…You told me during our conversation or on the phone, about a relationship I have.…
Angela: (turning to her husband) …You said to me, I should be careful handing around with a philanderer…
(Argument erupts between the three over Amewu’s anger that Paul List allegedly used the word “Philanderer” to describe Amewu. Angela List virtually turned on her husband in front of the man alleged to be having an extra-marital affair with her for calling him a womaniser.) .
Angela: (addressing her husband)…You know he is a public figure, right? I told my mum, by the way, my mum is aware of it. For you to come to me and make out that I am hanging around with this reputable person…this man is a public figure. Everything about him is out there…you cannot continue to slander people like that Paul when you put it out there, you are a Christian, you don’t understand what you do to a person’s character and a person’s life by doing what you do. It is evil!
Paul: (overwhelmed by the barrage from both sides) I was just conveying to you a rumour that had been conveyed to me. That’s all…I don’t believe I used the word “Philanderer”, by the way…
Angela : (Cuts in)…Yes you did!
Paul: I don’t believe I used the word…
Angela: (Cuts in again)…He is lying..It is totally unchristian…He goes to my son and told him I am having a relationship with a man.
Paul: No I didn’t…
Angela: Yes, you did. You told Daniel that I am having a relationship with George Weah…
Paul: Angie, I did not say to Daniel that you were having an affair with George Weah…I told him there was a rumour. There was a rumour that there was…
Angela:…How do you, as a Christian, spread a rumour?
Amewu: (Jumps in to Angela’s defence)…Of course, it is a contravention of what you do as a Christian…
Angela: It goes against the very commandments of God….you spread rumours about me.
Paul: (cuts in), I don’t spread rumours about you…I don’t spread rumours about my wife, why would I spread rumours about you?…All I said was that there was a rumour to that effect and there is a rumour to that effect….i am sorry, I supposed I didn’t have to, but I was upset and hurt…Anyway, I think we are digressing and moving away from what we came here to talk about. When I was saying to John is that when I did hear this rumour, it did cause me some concern.
Eventually, the argument degenerated into Peter Amewu and Angela ganging up against Paul to squeeze out the information about who hinted him about their alleged relationship. With Angela prodding, “Tell him, tell him….”
