Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh the vice-presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted claims of his candidature being linked to his lineage and ethnicity.
According to Napo, those claims were made by certain people tribalizing elections in Ghana.
Speaking before the dissolution of the 8th parliament, Napo stated, “My lineage is true, but this argument you are making if a fringe makes an argument, it does not mean their general. It is a hoot it is not true, Bawumia didn’t choose me because I was an Ashanti”.
“Did you ask Dr. Bawumia so how do you then go to somebody who has an exclusive reason and then say some people you met are saying they choose Napo because of that? That is tribalizing elections in this country”, he boldly stated.
Napo further revealed he had paddies on both sides and enjoyed himself the most in the bounds of parliament and I have deep friends and brothers across both sides.
“I benefitted from a lot of the senior NDC people, taking me as somebody who was their junior brother and tutoring me in parliament, ET Mensah, Joe Adjaho, Bagbin from my side Kyei Mensah Bonsu, Opare Ansah”, he added.
