Fiifi Boafo, the spokesperson for the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), has said that positive feedback about NAPO significantly outweighs any negative commentary.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Wednesday, Boafo emphasised that NAPO is widely recognised for his hard work and results-oriented approach, which has earned him admiration across the country.
Additionally, he stressed that NAPO’s track record in both education and parliamentary service has earned him widespread praise, unlike his predecessor, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, whose tenure as Education Minister, he argued, has not garnered as much positive feedback.
“We have been moving around the country and I’ve been listening to him, I have been getting the feedback from the people. The feedback I get is not what some people want us to believe it is because genuinely, this is a man, who when you go out with him, people perceive as the guy who is very hardworking, and he will get you the results when you give him the opportunity to serve you.
“Who is NAPO? He is a man who has been a member of parliament for over 16 years and when you go to Manhyia South, the people will tell you that he has had a massive impact on the constituency, he has delivered. Indeed, before Dr Bawumia nominated him to be his running mate, the people in in Manhyia South had voted for him to represent them again in parliament. So, his impact on the constituency is there. He served as a minister of state.
“I can ask you today, what is the NAPO story when it comes to education, and I am sure it won’t take you a second or even microseconds to say that that is the guy who led the team implement the Free SHS policy. I am very sure if I should ask you Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the education minister, what is her story, it will take you a while.
“But the person listening to me, if I should pose the question, tell us what NAPO did as the education minister or tell us what Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang did as education minister and I am sure the positives you will say about NAPO will be enormous, same cannot be said about Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang,” he stated.
