He’s competent, intelligent and politically experienced – Nana B’s suggestive description of NAPO

National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye has suggestively described Minister for Energy, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh as competent, intelligent and politically experienced.

Though his description of the Manhyia South Member of Parliament (MP) has no bearing on propositions he will make a good running mate to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), many netizens are beginning to infer.

The former NPP National Youth Organiser in a post on Facebook was praising the Minister for receiving an Honorary Fellowship by the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management (CIHRM), Ghana.

He wrote “Congrats to Hon Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, one of the most intelligent brains in Ghana. You were conferred with an Honorary Fellowship by the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management (CIHRM), Ghana,

This is in recognition of your contribution, supporting the Institute attain its charter in 2020, as Minister for Education, leading to the coming into force of the CIHRM Act, Act 1020”

The Man Napo, very competent and intelligent. He is politically experienced and no wonder he sparkles and dazzles everywhere he goes. A man with a golden heart”.

His comments come at a time when he had in an earlier interview on Accra-based Peace Fm, hinted that the running mate of the party’s flagbearer will come from the Ashanti Region.

According to him, apart from coming from the Ashanti Region, the person’s competence will be another thing that will be considered.

“Apart from these two, the other thing the party will consider is the person’s personality and popularity in the country. Kwame, the running mate for the NPP in 2024, will come from the Ashanti Region. This is because the Ashanti Region has, over the years, been the stronghold of the NPP. However, that will not be the only consideration.

We will also look at the competence of the individual who will be selected. We will look at his or her track record over the years and how knowledgeable the person is. Did the person perform well when he/she was given an appointment or not?

The running mate we will select will also be someone who is popular and loved by the grassroots. We will not go in for someone no one knows of. We will go in for someone who has the personality to be able to move the crowd because we want someone to shore up our numbers in the impending elections,” he disclosed on Accra-based Peace Fm.
