Minister for Energy Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh well known as NAPO says, the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) decision to repeat John Mahama is a good omen as he is ready to teach him wisdom for insulting the Ashanti Region when he was president.
According the minister, he is happy the Former President John Mahama is going to lead the NDC because there is nothing for him to show to the people of Kumasi after ruling the country for four six years.
He said if the NDC never found any better person to lead the party to the 2024 polls than the Former President John Dramani Mahama then he is ready for him going into 2024 elections in the region.
He also accused the Former President of disrespecting the people of Kumasi when he said Asantes are ungrateful.
“I thank God that the NDC did not get any better person than John Mahama. Therefore I have made my mouth ready for John Mahama. This is because we have not forgotten when he stood in Kumasi and insulted us. We are going to teach him wisdom. We will teach him to know that, his words must be clean”, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh said this at the Sod Cutting Ceremony ongoing in Kumasi by President Akufo Addo on his four days tour in the Ashanti Region.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh also chastised the media in the region accusing them of not being fair in their reportage especially when it comes to issues related to President Nana Akufo Addo.
“When John Mahama insulted Asantes, I didn’t hear any media person condemning it on radio. Some even said they never heard it. But immediately Nana Addo says something, they will take it up against him, and criticize him”, he chided.
“I want to tell you that if you want a government that can develop Asante, then it is the NPP government, nothing else”, added.
The Lawmaker and Minister of Energy has been tipped as one of the likely candidates gunning for the vice presidential role in the NPP.
He has been viewed as the like running mate should the Current Vice President gets the nod to lead the New Patriotic Party into the 2024 general elections.
