Ghanaian activist and actress, Efia Odo has lashed out at the newly unveiled vice-presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Matthew Opoku Prempeh following comments he made during his unveiling.
NAPO at the event held on 9 June 2024 by the NPP in Kumasi, boldly declared in his address that President Akufo-Addo has contributed more to the development of Ghana than any other leader since independence including the nation’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah.
These comments has not been received well with Ghanaians with Efia Odo being the latest to express her views on social media.
“Imagine if Kwame Nkrumah had never led the Gold Coast to independence.
Imagine if he had never constructed the motorway, built the Akosombo Dam, and Tema Harbour.
What if he had never established the University of Science and Technology?
Where would we have been as a people and a nation?” she questioned.
She added;
People will get a little money and power and start talking irresponsibly about their predecessors. What monumental thing has the president done ?
Building a cathedral with tax payers money ? Nothing NPP or NDC has done can be compared to what KWAME NKRUMAH has done for Ghanaians.
