Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Dr Bawumia’s presidential running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has doubled down on his assertion that no Ghanaian president has achieved as much as President Nana Akufo-Addo.

This statement, made during his coronation on Tuesday, July 9, has stirred significant controversy and backlash within the political community.

Napo, as he is popularly known, sparked outrage when he claimed that President Akufo-Addo’s developmental achievements surpass those of Ghana’s first president, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

Many have demanded a retraction and apology, arguing that the comparison is disrespectful and historically inaccurate.

During a courtesy call on Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II, Omanhene of the Wasa Amenfi Traditional Area at Wassa Akropong in the Western North Region, Napo reiterated his stance.
