Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, Hajia Alima Mahama, has touted the competence of the Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh to deliver as Ghana’s Vice president, calling him the man anyone can work with.
The former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development said that she observed Dr. Opoku Prempeh at cabinet meetings during his days as Ghana’s Education Minister and that she can confidently say that Dr. Opoku Prempeh is a man of humility who takes criticism in good faith and doesn’t get upset or angry.
Ms. Alima Mahama was speaking at an engagement by the NPP Running Mate with University of Memphis in Memphis, USA on the sidelines of Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s visit to the city.
According to her, she finds it difficult to believe the public notion that Dr. Opoku Prempeh is arrogant.
“I watched him at cabinet meetings and I will tell you what I know about him. He is humble, and he takes criticism in good faith without being angry or upset. When people say he is arrogant, I find it difficult to believe that” – she said.
She also expressed confidence in the Bawumia/Opoku Prempeh pair to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming elections, calling Dr. Opoku Prempeh the excellent pair for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Ms. Alima Mahama also encouraged the Ghanaian community to register for the Ghana card and took time to walk them through the process.
