Andrews Augustus Nana Akwasi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has advised party members to concentrate on promoting John Mahama’s 24-hour economic policy and avoid engaging with Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Nana Akwasi believes that Prempeh, also known as NAPO, is using his recent criticisms and attacks to draw attention away from the NDC’s agenda.
He warns that while Prempeh is busy targeting prominent figures and criticizing the NDC, NPP’s Bawumia will be focusing on spreading his own message.
Nana Akwasi emphasizes the importance of remaining focused on supporting Mahama and not being sidetracked by Prempeh’s tactics.
“NAPO’s unbridled attack is a strategy, he does that just to draw attention to divert attention and the NDC must not fall to it. While he is on rampage attacking some astute political personalities and also launching scathing attack on the NDC, Bawumia will be out there spreading his message while we respond to NAPO. This can affect us, so I have cautioned my people to stay focus and sell our candidate, John Dramani Mahama” he told Akoma FM’s William Evans-Nkum.
