“When you speak the truth, they say you are disrespectful” -NAPO justifies Nkrumah comment
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reaffirmed his stance that no President since Independence has achieved more than President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Known as NAPO, he made this assertion during his introduction in Kumasi on Tuesday, stating that Akufo-Addo’s accomplishments surpass those of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
While visiting Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II, the Omanhene of Wasa Amenfi Traditional Area at Wassa Akropong in the Western North Region on Wednesday, NAPO justified his comments, emphasizing that his statements are rooted in truth, not arrogance.
He dismissed claims of arrogance, arguing that politicians who speak the truth are often labeled as disrespectful, while those who lie receive praise. NAPO highlighted the significant efforts of the Akufo-Addo administration, insisting that since Independence in 1957, no government has worked harder than the current one.
“For us politicians, we do our politics every four years. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, you have supported him to do what he can do in Ghana. Even when I said it they have taken it wrongly. I say ever since independence, from 1957, from Kwame Nkrumah till today, no government has worked harder than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”
“But the politics we do, when you speak the truth, they say you are disrespectful. When you lie then you are praised. I am your child I am your grandson. You did not raise me with lies.”
