Fiifi Boafo, the spokesperson for Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has highlighted the strong public perception of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, describing him as a figure of dedication and capability.
Boafo’s insights provide a glimpse into how Dr. Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, is viewed as a leader committed to delivering results.
In a recent conversation with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, monitored by Puretvonline.com, Boafo emphasised the reputation NAPO has built over the years.
He underscored that NAPO is widely perceived as a diligent, result-orientated individual and that his engagements with the public reflect these qualities.
“The feedback you get from the people is not what some people want us to believe,” Boafo stated. “This is a man [NAPO] that the people perceive as someone who is very hard-working and will give you results when he is given the opportunity.” Boafo noted that this perception comes from NAPO’s history of consistent performance and fulfilment of promises, establishing trust and respect among those he interacts with.
Boafo further commented on how NAPO’s approach and character have made a positive impact on those around him.
His accessibility and straightforwardness resonate with many, creating an image of a leader who is not only reliable but also deeply committed to the responsibilities entrusted to him.
This has solidified NAPO’s reputation as someone who doesn’t just make promises but actively works towards realising them.
Turning his focus to NAPO’s tenure as the Minister of Education, Boafo placed him in direct comparison with the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
According to Boafo, NAPO’s accomplishments, particularly his leadership in implementing the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, set him apart.
“I can ask you today what the NAPO story is as a Minister of Education,” Boafo argued, “and I am sure that it won’t take you a microsecond to say that that is the guy who led the team to implement the Free SHS policy.”
Boafo further suggested that when the public is asked about Professor Opoku-Agyemang’s achievements during her tenure, they may find it more challenging to pinpoint standout accomplishments.
He continued, “Should the same question be posed to the public? The positives that will be said about NAPO will be enormous, and the same cannot be said about Jane.”
This comparison, Boafo implied, underscores NAPO’s success as a leader who has left a tangible mark on the nation’s educational sector.
Boafo’s assertions align with the NPP’s focus on promoting NAPO as a running mate with a proven track record. By highlighting his role in implementing key policies, they aim to position him as an effective and action-orientated leader, ready to continue his work on a national scale.
As the NPP and NDC gear up for the political contest, public perception of NAPO’s performance and capabilities could play a significant role in shaping voter preferences.
Boafo’s remarks not only defend NAPO’s past achievements but also set the tone for the kind of leadership he represents: one that is driven by action, results, and a commitment to delivering on promises.
This narrative could become a crucial part of the NPP’s strategy to win public trust and support in the upcoming elections.
