The Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) has slammed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for drawing comparisons between President Akufo-Addo\u2019s achievements and those of the late President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n
During his unveiling ceremony in Kumasi on Wednesday, July 9, Dr Opoku Prempeh asserted that President Akufo-Addo\u2019s legacy surpasses that of the late Kwame Nkrumah, a claim the CPP vehemently disputes.<\/p>\n
CPP in a statement dated Wednesday, July 10, described Dr Opoku Prempeh\u2019s comment as \u201creprehensible and unbecoming of his stature\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cA questioning or comparison of the contribution of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah to Ghana, Africa, and Humanity as a whole, is a moot question, dead on arrival, outmoded at birth.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Convention People\u2019s Party issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO to apologise and retract his statement, cautioning that if he fails to comply, they will appeal to President Akufo-Addo to relieve NAPO of his duties as Minister of Energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Convention People\u2019s Party calls on the Honourable Minister, within 24 hours, to do the \u2018Honourable\u2019 thing for the sake of the Country\u2019s image, and immediately resign from all Governmental and political positions, and issue an immediate apology and retraction.<\/p>\n
\u201cFailing which the party calls on His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to withdraw the Hon. Minister from his position as Minister of Energy, and also calls on His Excellency Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to withdraw him as his Vice Presidential candidate, for the sake of the Country\u2019s image, and its long term political and economic fortunes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CPP has demanded that NAPO\u2019s statement be removed from the internet, dismissing the comparison as \u201cdead on arrival\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe statement is so reprehensible and unbecoming of his stature that it is abhorrent to refer to it, or even publish it anywhere, whether print or electronic media and deserves to be immediately deleted from all forums.\u201d<\/p>\n
