Social media platforms are buzzing following Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh\u2019s recent comments comparing President Akufo-Addo\u2019s achievements to those of Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n

During his unveiling as the running mate for the New Patriotic Party\u2019s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in Kumasi on Tuesday, Dr. Opoku Prempeh aka Napo asserted that no president, including the revered Dr. Nkrumah, has developed Ghana like President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cSince independence from 1957 till today, we\u2019ve not had any president that has helped Ghana like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I say from 1957 till today, you can bring your Kwame Nkrumah\u2026 no president who has protected Ghana and moved the country forward like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The controversial statement has sparked widespread reactions, with many users expressing outrage and disbelief.<\/p>\n

Critics on social media argue that Dr. Nkrumah\u2019s contributions to Ghana\u2019s independence and infrastructure development are unparalleled, making the comparison inappropriate and disrespectful.<\/p>\n\n
