Fiifi Boafo, a spokesperson for Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has questioned the decision of John Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to focus his attention on NAPO.

According to him, the former President should rather focus his attention on the NPP flagbearer, who is his direct competitor in the December 7 general election. 

John Mahama on Thursday, August 15, 2024, chastised Dr. Opoku Prempeh, describing him as arrogant. 

This was after Dr. Opoku Prempeh, known as NAPO, in a video, referred to the late President Mills as “the one who died,” seemingly forgetting his name. 

The former president had a day earlier stated that the former education minister had questions to answer about the management of funds from the Daakye Bond.

But responding to allegations made against Dr. Opoku Prempeh, in an interview with Joy FM monitored by GhanaWeb on Thursday, August 15, 2024, Fiifi Boafo stated that the sudden focus on the NPP running mate is surprising to him.

"It is interesting to realise that the former president, who's a presidential candidate, is rather spending time talking about the running mate instead of talking about the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

"Dr. Bawumia has been vice president, and John Mahama has also been vice president. Their records are available for all of us to assess. John Mahama has been president of this country; his performance as president is there for all of us to assess. Dr. Bawumia is yet to get the opportunity to be president. But he has demonstrated what he can do as vice president, waiting for the opportunity to be president. So if you are now moving and your attention is on the running, it is interesting," Fiifi Boafo said.

Ghana will go to the polls on December 7, 2024, to elect a president and parliamentarians in what is expected to be a highly competitive election.
