Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo and the 2024 running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has unleashed a fierce critique of President John Dramani Mahama’s return to power.
Speaking to the media at the NPP’s National Executive Committee meeting on April at Accra’s Alisa Hotel, Napo made it clear that he is deeply dissatisfied with the state of the nation under Mahama’s leadership.
When asked to rate the President’s first 100 days, Napo didn’t hesitate, he refused to give a score.
“It will be so bad, I don’t want to rate him,” he said bluntly. Napo painted a grim picture of Ghana’s current challenges.
Napo highlighted several areas of decline, including a return of electricity outages, unchecked illegal mining (galamsey), and a surge in illicit drug arrests, which he said have worsened compared to the previous administration’s eight years.
He also raised serious concerns about increased currency and gold smuggling, alleging links between some NDC parliamentary candidates and these illegal activities
“I will list about eight things and tell you which of them have been improved. We had constant electricity, but what is happening now? We had galamsey as an issue, what is happening now? We had improved as a country on illicit drug issues. I’m not talking about Rev. Ntim Fordjour; I’m talking about arresting more culprits in the last three months than in the eight years we were in office,” he asked rhetorically.
