Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, has urged the party’s rank and file to work effortlessly and efficiently to secure victory for the party and protect the accomplishments made by President Akufo-Addo so far.
On July 8, 2024, he delivered his first public statement during his ceremonial outdooring ceremony in Kumasi, stating that since Ghana’s establishment in 1957, no president has made more outstanding development than President Akufo-Addo.
The former Energy Minister, who was appointed during Akufo-Addo’s first tenure as Education Minister, stated that not even Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s record can compare to that of 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. Since 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.
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 young person, then you should take what I am talking about seriously. Let’s protect the gains made and the legacy of Akufo-Addo.,” he said.
He credited Dr. Bawumia for leading the digital agenda since it has served us well to the point that the United Kingdom has decided to issue a digital identification card.
On dumsor, he refuted that Ghana was experiencing a power crisis.
He said the current president has performed exceedingly well, to the point that his achievements in educational infrastructure were unprecedented.
He went on to say that even a dwarf does not walk backwards, despite having twisted legs that face backwards, and interpreted this to suggest that Ghana cannot go back and bring in the NDC.
