Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emphasized that the Akufo-Addo administration has surpassed all previous governments in Ghana’s history. Speaking at the launch of the Ashanti Regional NPP Campaign Working Committees and Women’s Conference in Kumasi, Dr. Prempeh praised the government’s achievements and encouraged party supporters to back the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the 2024 elections.
Dr. Prempeh stated, “No administration has governed the country and commenced the construction of 111 hospitals. No government in this country has built schools like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has done. No government has established universities like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has done.”
He continued, “No government has employed over 200,000 nurses and doctors like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has, and no government has hired teachers in such numbers. No government has addressed intense hunger and pandemic challenges by providing free food, electricity, and water like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.”
Dr. Prempeh also highlighted the increase in the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program, noting, “Even LEAP, which supports the poor, has been increased three times under Nana Addo, benefiting about 300,000 people.”
He concluded by expressing confidence in the future, saying, “I say this because I know that when Dr. Bawumia becomes President, he will do even more than Nana Addo. So, I need to commend Nana Addo before Dr. Bawumia takes over.”
