I have not condemned Bawumia, he is the most credible presidential candidate – NAPO
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Minister of Energy, has categorically denied making disparaging statements against the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
On December 19, his spokesperson, Kofi Abrefa Afena, released a press statement in which he emphatically denied the claims, claiming that the video in question was altered to foment dissension.
“Dr. Prempeh wishes to reiterate his absolute belief and confidence in the Flagbearer of the NPP, His Excellency, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the most competent and credible candidate, with the proven incorruptibility, to beat the NDC Flagbearer in 2024, based on the NPP’s superior record in government.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Energy Minister is of the firm view that, the people of Ghana on the balance of probabilities, will renew the NPP mandate with Dr Bawumia because, even in the face of genuine global shocks, as attested to by former President Mahama in his foreign engagements, the government has remained resolute, steering the country out of the woods,” an excerpt of the statement said.
He also advised the people to disregard the film and not be persuaded by its substance.
“The general public is thus, kindly requested to totally disregard the deliberate slant and distortions put on the video.,” the statement concluded.
The statement reaffirmed Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s unflinching faith in Dr. Bawumia, describing him as the finest option for both Ghanaians and the NPP to gain success in the next elections.
