Energy Minister Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has stated that his ultimate ambition is to see Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia elected President of Ghana ever since they first met in 2012.
Because of Ghana’s current situation, NAPO, as it is called in politics, believes that Bawumia’s intellect would help the country reach new heights.
“Since 2012, I have devoted all of my efforts to ensuring that Dr. Bawumia will one day lead Ghana as president. I have never in a million years imagined being his running mate. I don’t support Dr. Bawumia’s work for that reason. I am convinced and confident that, given the state of Ghana at the present, we require a leader like Dr. Bawumia to move the country forward.” He disclosed.
However, he denied allegations that he was interested in serving as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s running partner.
It worries him that people think the vice president is attempting to persuade them to be his running partner when, in reality, he hasn’t even declared his intention to run for politics.
“The man hasn’t even indicated that he wants to lead our nation as its Flagbearer and then as its President. We were only here to go with him to Otumfuo’s Akwasidae. I was working for the government a few weeks back when I heard someone call me names and suggest that I wanted to be the vice president. How can someone lobby to be Vice President when we haven’t even chosen our flagbearer?, NAPO made this statement on Pure FM in Kumasi.
