A LEADING MEMBER of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Henry Osei Akoto, slammed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), for maliciously denigrating the NDC running mate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
NAPO who is also a running mate for the NPP for 2024 polls, described the running mate of the NDC, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, as an old woman after the party (NPP) launched their empty manifesto.
In a post shared on X (twitter) on August 17, 2024, Mr. Osei Akoto indicated that NAPO’s comments shown that he is disrespectful and unfit to be vice president of Ghana.
To this effect, Mr. Osei Akoto implored Ghanaians to vote against the NPP in the upcoming December 7, 2024, general elections.
He retorted that “the one who served an 80-year-old president is calling a 72-year-old strong and intelligent woman an old lady”.
“…NAPO has zero manners and can’t be Vice-President. Vote them out!” he wrote”, Mr. Osei Akoto Henry opined.
What NAPO said:
Addressing a mini rally after a health walk in Takoradi, NAPO ridiculed Mahama’s choice of running mate, metrotvonline.com reports.
“In NPP, we balance experience with youth. A 60-year-old presidential candidate means a 40-year-old vice. How old was Akufo-Addo when he chose Bawumia? And because of God’s blessings, Bawumia is now the presidential candidate. Bawumia has chosen a youthful running mate.”
Contrasting NPP’s approach, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who is the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and the immediate past Minister for Energy, mocked Mahama, using some derogatory words.
“But Mahama, old and unwilling to relinquish power, chose an old woman Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang,” NAPO is quoted to have said.
