Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as ‘Napo’, the running mate for New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has extolled President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the most effective leader Ghana has ever had, surpassing even the revered first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

During his unveiling ceremony held in Kumasi on Tuesday, 9 July 2024, Dr. Opoku Prempeh praised President Akufo-Addo’s transformative leadership and significant achievements across various sectors of Ghanaian society.

“Since independence from 1957 till today, we’ve not had any president that has helped Ghana like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I say from 1957 to now if you take your Kwame Nkrumah, no one has become president who has protected Ghana and moved it forward like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” the NPP running mate declared.

He highlighted President Akufo-Addo’s achievements in numerous areas, emphasising that under his leadership, Ghana has experienced substantial advancements in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and the economy.

“Nana Addo’s development initiatives are unmatched. His policies, including the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme and the One District, One Factory initiative, have been widely praised for their positive impact on the nation,” the NPP running mate stated.
