Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, aka NAPO, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, has encouraged traditional chiefs to participate in Ghana’s political environment.
The former Energy Minister feels that traditional leaders play a key role in the country’s growth.
He has therefore admonished them to have the bravery to voice any concerns they may have in order to assist create our country.
Speaking at a meeting with the Nungua Traditional Council in Accra, Dr Opoku Prempeh said: “My campaign is different, I visit every royal house to tell them one thing. I tell them to help us, pray for us, guide us, counsel us, and give the direction to us. So, the Ghana that we’re developing is a Ghana that will be developed in freedom.
“I implore every traditional leader, the elders that this game called politics, have you realised that the politicians have turned round to tell you not to do politics, if we didn’t do politics how did we come by independence? I’m not saying wear NPP colours or NDC colours.
“I’m saying that whether it is NPP or NDC, it’s your right to tell us what is right. It is not our right to tell you not to be part of us, it is your right, to crave it. The people of Nungua should crave Nungua, it’s theirs. Everything God put on Nungua was for the development of Nungua.”
