Speaking in Kumasi on Tuesday, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, commonly known as NAPO, declared that President Akufo-Addo's accomplishments exceed those of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
His remarks have ignited a widespread debate on social media. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, Deputy Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Ellembelle, criticised the comparison, calling it "insulting and grossly misguided."
While visiting Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyim II, the Omanhene of Wasa Amenfi Traditional Area at Wassa Akropong in the Western North Region on Wednesday (July 10, 2024), NAPO defended his comments.
He dismissed allegations of arrogance, stating that he simply speaks the truth.
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, NAPO said.
He added, 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.
