Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed shock and disappointment at former President John Mahama for seeking prayers from clergy after previously labeling them as hypocrites. Speaking at a durbar of chiefs, religious leaders, and party supporters in Afigya Kwabre South, Dr. Opoku Prempeh emphasized that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has consistently shown disrespect towards traditional leaders, which should concern all Ghanaians.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s visit to Afigya Kwabre South was met with a rapturous welcome, reinforcing his connection with the grassroots and underscoring the NPP’s momentum. The enthusiastic crowd, comprising traditional leaders, religious dignitaries, and constituents, warmly welcomed him and showered praises and blessings on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, expressing unwavering confidence in his leadership.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh assured that the NPP recognizes the invaluable role of traditional leaders and clergy in shaping the nation’s future. He pledged that the NPP will continue to seek their blessings and votes, ensuring their voices are heard and valued in governance.
