The focus should now be on how to prepare towards the campaign – Ayikoi Otoo on selection of Opoku Prempeh

Former Attorney General Nii Ayikoi Otoo has said that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) must now focus on preparation for the campaign activities ahead of the 2024 general elections after the selection of a running mate to the flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

He says dissenting views shouldn’t be allowed to stand in the way of the party going into the elections.

Speaking on TV3 on the selection of Energy Minister Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as the running mate to Dr Bawumia on Thursday Juy 4, he said: “the focus should be on how to prepare towards the campaign…dissenting voices shouldn’t be allowed to stand in the way of the party.”

The General Secretary of the NPP Justin Kodua Frimpong while announcing the selection touted the credentials of Dr Opoku Prempeh.

He said that it is worthy to note that throughout his 4-year tenure of Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as Minister for Education, there was significant industrial harmony and stability in the education front.

Dr Opoku Prempeh ensured that the concerns of teachers and other players in the education sector were adequately attended to.

“This therefore confirms that Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has an incredible interpersonal
and negotiation skills. He is arguably the only Minister of Education in this Fourth Republic to have achieved this feat. Having delivered at the Ministry for Education, the President appointed him during his second term to head the Ministry of Energy, where he again, demonstrated his stellar leadership qualities.

“He worked very hard to KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, even during the times of unprecedented global economic crisis when every sector of the economy was virtually in ‘darkness’, gasping for breath,” Kodua Frimpong said while announcing the former Minister of Education and currently Energy Minister as the running mate to Dr Bawumia.

Regarding the power challenges, he said “We however concede that in the last couple of weeks and months, some parts of the country did face some power challenges.

“But, the good news is that, unlike in the past particularly under H.E John Dramani Mahama, where we slept in darkness for over four(4) years, Dr. Prempeh ensured that the recent power challenges we experienced did not last beyond three (3) months. He is indeed results-oriented, and there is absolutely no debate about that.”
