A Political Science Analyst, Dr. Frank Aduhene, has once again descended heavily on the former running mate to Dr. Bawumia, Hon. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, aka Napo, for trying to blackmail his way into the position again.
Dr. Aduhene asserts that the latest revelations by the former Energy Minister to the effect that Dr. Bawumia chose him, despite opposition from several bigwigs of the party is an attempt to blackmail the former President into selecting him again should he get the nod in the upcoming presidential primaries.
Dr. Napo in an explosive interview on Tuesday alleged that several persons were against his selection and made strenuous efforts to discourage Dr. Bawumia from naming him as the running mate.
According to Dr. Napo though he cannot predict whether he will be named again or not, he prayed that the Almighty God will give divine direction to Dr. Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia to consider him again for the 2028 elections.
But the Political Analyst says the action revelations by Dr. Napo is not only politically immature, but also a betrayal of trust and blackmailing.
“How can you put the former Vice President in such an uncomfortable position and still claim you support him. Even if he told you some people were against your nomination did you have to make such information public? Are you trying to create enmity or blackmail so that in the event that you’re not selected again, you will say that some people were behind it” Dr. Aduhene queried.
According to him, it will be politically suicidal for Dr. Bawumia to select Napo again as his running mate, stressing that all his actions and utterances have proven he is not fit for the position.
“Maybe Napo has proven all those who were against his selection right; the evidence is clearly there to see that his selection did nothing to help the NPP” He emphasized.
The Political Analyst further observed that from Dr. Napo’s own assertion, it will be shocking for any divine intervention to favour him as the preferred choice for the running mate position again.
