“I Didn’t Mean to Belittle Kwame Nkrumah” – NAPO Apologizes

Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has apologized for his controversial remarks about Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and his achievements in government.

In a statement issued by the newly unveiled NPP Vice Presidential Candidate, affectionately known as NAPO, he clarified that his comments were his “personal opinion” and not meant to disrespect Kwame Nkrumah or any former president.

“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. I apologize sincerely and regret any discomfort caused,” he added.

The apology comes days after he claimed at his unveiling in Kumasi that no president in Ghana’s history, including former President Nkrumah, had performed better than President Akufo-Addo. His comments sparked significant backlash from the public, who considered them an unnecessary disrespect to the former president, leading to calls for an apology.
