You're arrogant; you don't say evil things about the dead

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh

Former President John Mahama has expressed concern about some remarks made by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh about some of Ghana's former heads of state.

On July 9, 2024, during his unveiling as the running mate to the NPP flagbearer, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Prempeh elevated President Akufo-Addo above Dr Kwame Nkrumah in terms of developmental achievements.

He claimed that no president, including Dr Nkrumah, has developed the nation as much as President Akufo-Addo.

How he referred to Dr Nkrumah was particularly deemed by many to be disrespectful and condescending, forcing him to apologise subsequently.
