“A friend asked why I haven’t shared my opinion on the Running mate to DMB and I said this wasn’t an issue that’s why I have been mute . Not to be cheeky nor overly confident but it’s obvious Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO ) ticks all the requirements. It’s just as obvious as DMB going to be the Presidential candidate of NPP post Nana Addo Presidency. In politics , at times , research is not needed . The Euphoria alone is enough data.
All those with interest in the Running mate position have either been MPs , former ministers, Ministers, heads of agencies and organization. The icing on the cake this time is someone from Ashanti Region and there’s no Ashanti as qualified than a Royal . I support the call from the region . But wait , what makes NAPO special? HE IS BOLD AND ACTION DRIVEN . Bold in the sense that he’s not pretentious, open minded and confident . Someone who can speak the mind of the grassroots to the will be president and ministers . NAPO is Bold . You can’t take that away from him.
All those seeking to be Running mate have chalked some success being it in politics or private life but what makes NAPO special in terms of achievement, what makes him stand tall ? NAPO implemented the Free SHS policy. He was the minister who implemented FREE SHS with brilliant innovation that curbed inadequate accommodation and infrastructure issues at our SHS . The double track system was brilliant. Yeah not even the opposition can’t Pooh Pooh on the Free SHS policy . It takes an ACTION DRIVEN person to successfully implement a flagship program . You ask me why I will chose him over anyone ?, I say he’s BOLD and ACTION DRIVEN . He will best to compliment Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,”Atick Yakubu said.
