The Convener of the One Ghana Movement, Senyo Hosi, has come to the defence of Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, against accusations of arrogance.
In a Facebook post on Monday, October 21, Hosi clarified that NAPO, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate for the 2024 election, is not arrogant but rather passionate about his views.
Hosi pointed out that while NAPO might come across as strong and firm in his opinions, this should not be mistaken for inflexibility or arrogance. He emphasized that NAPO is willing to admit when he is wrong, which is a sign of humility and personal growth.
“He nurtures strong opinions but welcomes any debate to assure himself of an optimal outcome,” Hosi explained. According to him, NAPO’s assertiveness is typical of individuals deeply committed to their beliefs and responsibilities. Far from being arrogant, NAPO’s willingness to engage in dialogue and acknowledge his mistakes makes him an effective leader.
“I am in no position to judge others and their experiences with Napo, but I can only speak of mine. Working with Napo was demanding. He took nothing on the face of it and would interrogate everything,” Hosi shared, adding that NAPO’s approach challenges others to ensure their positions are well-founded.
“Your being an expert at anything never cowed him. You simply had to make sense and that made two of us,” he added.
Hosi concluded by stating that while NAPO may seem intimidating due to his strong convictions, he is far from arrogant, as his leadership style is rooted in open-mindedness and a willingness to listen to different perspectives.
