You’ve cursed yourself if you live in Ashanti Region and vote for John Mahama – NAPO

Running mate for the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has stated that any individual living in the Ashanti Region who buys into the campaign of the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, will be inviting a curse upon themselves.

Addressing some party supporters in Bantama during a rally, Dr. Opoku Prempeh pointed out that Mr. Mahama, during his tenure as president, showed an affinity towards the Ashanti Region by sacking persons from the region in his government.

“President John Dramani Mahama, if you live in the Ashanti Region and he comes to campaign for votes and you follow him, you have cursed yourself because he is the only president who ended up sacking every person from Ashanti in his government. He sacked Kwabena Duffuor, who was the finance minister, he sacked Oteng-Agyei, who was the energy minister. Did he sack Duffuor or not? He sacked Betty Mould Iddrisu, who is from Agona. Who in the Ashanti Region was he able to work with? It was right here that he stood and said he won’t listen to anyone,” he stated.

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, a former Minister for Energy, was appointed running mate of the NPP for the presidential campaign of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who is a native of the Ashanti Region, is expected to boost the party’s fortunes in the region regarded as the NPP’s stronghold.
