What celebrities are saying about NAPO’s controversial remarks on Kwame Nkrumah

Social media, particularly Twitter, has been inundated with criticism and backlash against NPP’s vice presidential candidate, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, for his controversial comments about Ghana’s founding leader, Osaygyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

During his unveiling on July 8, 2024, in Kumasi, Mathew Opoku Prempeh, known as NAPO, asserted that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s achievements surpass those of all previous administrations in Ghana’s history, including Kwame Nkrumah’s.

He stated that Nkrumah’s presidency was not exceptional, claiming, since Ghana’s inception in 1957, no president has contributed more to the country’s development and protection than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

These remarks sparked outrage among netizens, who criticized NAPO for his perceived disrespect towards Kwame Nkrumah.

Critics argue that NAPO’s comments have reinforced perceptions of his arrogance and condescension.

Celebrities have also joined the fray, condemning his statements while highlighting Kwame Nkrumah’s significant achievements.

Some celebrities have also speculated whether NAPO’s remarks were aimed at discrediting the legacy of the founding leader or undermining the current opposition candidate, Mr. John Mahama.
