The vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has urged the public not to judge the party solely based on recent challenges, emphasizing that the party can enhance the national economy.

Speaking at a gathering of chiefs and residents in Benyin, Western Region, he highlighted the numerous opportunities created by the party that could propel the country’s growth.

Dr. Matthew stressed the importance of educating and training Ghanaians with essential skills to generate employment prospects.

He mentioned the upcoming establishment of a petroleum hub, for which the President is scheduled to inaugurate operations on August 19, 2024, in Jomoro.

This initial phase, involving a $12 million investment, is anticipated to not only create jobs but also revitalize the economy of the Nzema area.

Encouraging voters to renew the NPP’s mandate, Dr. Prempeh pointed out the significance of supporting the party’s developmental initiatives.

Awulae Annor Adjei, the Omanhene of Western Nzema, commended Dr. Prempeh for his substantial contributions toward the impending petroleum hub project.

He also appealed to the former energy minister to keep the project in mind even as he transitions to a broader role within the government.
