NAPO Again, See What He Said About NPP’s Loss And Ashanti Region’s Role That Has Sparked Reactions

In a video shared by verified blogger EDHUB on X (formerly Twitter), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, who was the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has sparked conversations with his remarks following the NPP’s loss in the 2024 general elections.

NAPO expressed pride in the performance of the Ashanti Region, highlighting that despite the party’s defeat, the region achieved a 65% voter turnout. According to him, this was a significant contribution to the NPP’s efforts during the elections. However, his comments about the Ashanti Region have reignited debates among Ghanaians, with many questioning the party’s over-reliance on the region for electoral success.

NAPO also addressed the ongoing violence by some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following their victory. He drew comparisons to similar incidents in 2009, noting that back then, NDC supporters attacked various institutions and, in some cases, even turned on themselves. He urged for calm and respect for democratic principles.

Adding to his statement, NAPO mentioned that Ghana tends to quickly forget its blessings, likening the nation’s attitude to Israel’s biblical history, where people often forgot God’s goodness in a short time. This remark was interpreted by some as a subtle critique of how Ghanaians have evaluated the NPP’s governance.

### Mixed Reactions from Netizens

The video sparked diverse reactions online:

@kuhb: "He shouldn’t be given a microphone ever again."

@YaraAmicutie: "He should add 2016 too. Suddenly everyone has amnesia over the happenings of 2016 when NPP won. Their chairman, Freddy Blay, even justified it."

@Cypher:"Your downfall is because you always focus on Ashanti Region as if they’re the only voters. Even 100% turnout there won’t guarantee victory."

@ayim_Ama: "You guys should know by now that there’s no safe region for any party. Appeal to all regions like the NDC does and stop this Ashanti craze."

-@amoako: "These guys still don’t get it; in fact, they’ll never get it."

NAPO’s remarks have added fuel to the ongoing conversation about the NPP’s election loss and their political strategy moving forward.
