NAPO apologizes over Dr. Kwame Nkrumah comment

The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 election, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has apologized over his recent comments about Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

According to him, his much discussed comment which sought to compare the political achievements of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and President Akufo-Addo was not meant to disrespect any of Ghana’s former heads of state.

Napo said this at his unveiling as the NPP running mate for the Presidential Candidate on Tuesday.

He has been heavily criticized by Ghanaians with many calling on him to apologize.

However, in a statement on Friday, Napo apologized over the comments.
