The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has slammed former President John Dramani Mahama for reportedly taking undeserving credit for the legacies of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.
While visiting Mpasatia in the Atwima Mponua Constituency, Dr. Opoku Prempeh engaged with local chiefs, imams, and clergy to advocate for the Bawumia/Opoku Prempeh ticket.
During a durbar, Dr. Opoku Prempeh criticized Mahama’s recent remarks and behavior, stating they reflect a lack of respect for the legacies of the late President Mills.
He added that if Mahama takes credit for Mills’ achievements, he must also take responsibility for the administration’s failures.
“John Mahama’s comments and actions show a blatant disregard for the legacies of President Atta Mills. If he wants to take credit for Mills’ achievements, he must also be ready to accept responsibility for the failures of Mills’ administration.” He added, “Mahama’s desperate bid for power is evident in his attempts to undermine the legacy of his former boss.”
Dr. Opoku Prempeh took the opportunity to encourage people to check their names on the voters’ register and follow all the procedures outlined by the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure they can vote in large numbers for the NPP.
