VIDEO: Akufo-Addo has performed better than Nkrumah – NAPO
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh says President Akufo-Addo has accomplished more during his tenure than any other President in the history of Ghana.
According to him, not even Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has managed the nation better than President Akufo-Addo.
“In telling our history as Ghanaians, if Akufo-Addo retires, I can beat my chest and bodily declare that no president in our history has performed better than Akufo-Addo. From 1957 to date, you can mention Kwame Nkrumah and any other president, none of them have managed Ghana better than Akufo-Addo.
“I say this with pride and with the fact that Akufo-Addo has performed better and surpassed all other presidents in our history. He has performed so well, so we don’t have to allow what occurred in 2008 to repeat itself. Chairman Wontumi said this, and I want to reiterate it. We cannot allow what happened in 2008 to repeat itself”, the outgoing Energy Minister disclosed at the Kumasi Jubilee Park during his unveiling.
He called on the NPP party supporters to work tirelessly for the party to win the impending generation order to protect the legacy of President Akufo-Addo.
“It would be prudent for Akufo-Addo to end his term and hand over the power to Dr. Bawumia. Dr. Bawumia will continue and build on the foundation of Akufo-Addo. If you are a young person, then you should take what I am talking about seriously. Let’s protect the gains made and the legacy of Akufo-Addo,” Dr. Opoku Prempeh stated.
However, the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has told the running mate to the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh to adhere to the instruction of the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Addressing a brief ceremony at Manhyia for the introduction of Dr. Opoku Prempeh to him, Asantehene indicated that Dr. Bawumia should not regret choosing him (Opoku Prempeh) as his running mate.
“I have watched Opoku Prempeh grow. Don’t let Dr. Bawumia regret choosing you. Serve with humility”, Otumfuo Osei Tutu advised Dr. Opoku Prempeh.
Asantehene also entreated the Vice President never to hesitate to knock on his door whenever the outgoing Energy Minister goes wrong.
“Whatever mistake comes let me know so I correct him,” Otumfuo stated.
