The District Chief Executive and NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the Ellembelle Constituency, Kwasi Bonzo, has announced that Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, will visit Nzema land.
Speaking to Happy Kasiebo, Mr. Bonzo mentioned that despite Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s apology on Friday, the family of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah remains displeased. To address this, he has spoken to Dr. Opoku Prempeh to personally meet with the chiefs and Dr. Nkrumah’s family to offer an apology. Mr. Bonzo noted that as a royal, Dr. Opoku Prempeh understands the importance of this gesture and has agreed to the meeting.
He emphasized that the NPP aims to win the upcoming election and does not want any grievances to affect their chances. This visit is seen as an effort to mend relations following recent controversies.
Nzema chiefs had criticized Dr. Opoku Prempeh for comments made during his unveiling as NPP’s running mate, where he claimed President Akufo-Addo had outperformed all previous presidents, including Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, in development.
He said he knows very soon Dr. Opoku Prempeh will be vice president of the country and wants the people of Ellembelle to have a very good relationship with him so they don’t look into the past but into the future so that they can work with him to bring development to the district. He added that the meeting will be scheduled soon, with discussions ongoing to find a convenient date for all parties involved.
