Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has issued an apology for his remarks about Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah.
In a brief statement, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, clarified that his comments were his personal opinion and were not intended to disrespect Kwame Nkrumah or any former president. This apology follows his recent claim at his unveiling in Kumasi that no President in Ghana’s history, including Nkrumah, had performed better than President Akufo-Addo.
The remarks sparked significant backlash from the public, with many demanding an apology and a retraction.
“I wish to emphasize that I never meant to disrespect our former president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, or any of our former heads of state, including my grand uncle and mentor, John Agyekum Kufuor,” NAPO stated. “I note the concerns raised after my statement, and I apologize sincerely and regret any discomfort caused.”
