Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the vice-presidential candidate of the NPP led by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has defended his recent remarks that no president since Ghana’s Independence has achieved more than President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Speaking in Kumasi on Tuesday, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, widely known as NAPO, asserted that President Akufo-Addo’s achievements eclipse those of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

While visiting Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II, the Omanhene of Wasa Amenfi Traditional Area at Wassa Akropong in the Western North Region on Wednesday, NAPO stood by his comments.

He refuted accusations of arrogance, stating that he simply tells the truth.

NAPO argued that politicians who are honest are often labeled as disrespectful, whereas those who lie are celebrated.

“As politicians, we engage in our craft every four years. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been supported to do what he can for Ghana. Even when I said it, they misunderstood me. I maintain that since independence in 1957, from Kwame Nkrumah till today, no government has worked harder than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”

“But in politics, when you speak the truth, they call you disrespectful. When you lie, you are praised. I am your child, your grandson. You did not raise me with lies,” NAPO concluded.
