Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, running mate to the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is incorruptible.
Also known as NAPO, Dr. Opoku Prempeh has maintained that since he assumed a role in politics, the Vice President and flag bearer of the NPP has never been subjected to any form of investigation.
Speaking to constituents in Ahafo Ano South East as part of his campaign tour, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and running mate to Dr. Bawumia, indicated that Ghana needs an incorruptible leader who can speak truth to the nation.
“I repeat that our leader, Dr. Bawumia is not corrupt. Since he joined politics, there has never been any attempt to investigate his works and he will never be corrupt. He is truthful and will speak to Ghanaians in truth,” he indicated.
Unlike others who receive vehicles in exchange to award contracts for the construction of roads, Dr. Opoku Prempeh added that Dr. Bawumia will not mince words when he is questioned on whether he is corrupt or not, just as it happened in John Mahama’s case.
“We need a president who will be truthful not one who receives vehicles before awarding contracts to construct roads. We don’t want a president who will sit on radio in America and ask if ‘you’re referring to me as President or John Mahama’ when he was asked whether he is corrupt or not.
“Were there two persons sitting there at the time? Let us all be careful because the snake is a beautiful reptile but it kills you the moment it bites you,” said NAPO.
He made the comments whilst responding to the former President’s assertion that the ghost of Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, would have knocked him (NAPO) down for disrespecting Nkrumah if ghosts were still powerful.
