A
leading
member
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP)
Dr
Nyaho
Nyaho-Tamakloe
has
urged
the
flagbearer
of
the
party
to
ask
his
running
mate,
Dr.
Opoku
Prempeh
(NAPO)
to
apologise
for
comparing
the
contribution
of
Dr
Kwame
Nkrumah
to
Ghana’s
development
with
that
of
President
Akufo-Addo.
Speaking
in
an
interview
with
Johnny
Hughes
on
Sunrise
on
3FM
on
July
11,
Dr
Nyaho-Tamakloe
said
he
would
not
have
taken
NAPO’s
comment
lightly
if
he
were
to
be
his
flagbearer.
He
noted
he
would
have
asked
Dr
Opoku
Prempeh
to
apologise
to
Ghanaians
and
will
resign
if
he
fails
to
do
so.
“If
my
running
mate
makes
such
a
statement
there
are
two
things
I
will
do.
I
will
ask
him
to
apologise,
and
if
he
fails
to
do
so,
I
will
ask
him
to
resign.
If
he
does
not
resign,
I
will
resign,”
he
asserted.
While
condemning
NAPO’s
actions,
the
NPP
stalwart
said
the
comment
has
destroyed
the
party.
“That
is
why
I
say
it
is
unfortunate.
It
has
totally
destroyed
our
party.
I
am
surprised
Akufo-Addo
has
not
come
out
to
condemn
it
or
at
least
advise
the
running
mate
to
Bawumia
to
come
out
with
a
sensible
explanation
of
why
he
said
that,”
Dr
Nyaho-Tamakloe
said.
It
would
be
recalled
that
on
July
9,
the
newly
unveiled
running
mate
to
the
flagbearer
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP),
Dr
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh
said
that
no
president
in
the
history
of
Ghana
has
helped
to
develop
the
country
more
than
President
Akufo-Addo.
NAPO’s
‘your
Nkrumah’
comment
has
totally
destroyed
our
party
–
Nyaho
Nyaho-Tamakloe
According
to
Dr
Mahamudu
Bawumia’s
running
mate,
since
taking
over
the
presidency
of
Ghana,
President
Akufo-Addo
has
steered
affairs
of
the
country
to
the
admiration
of
all.
“I
can
boldly
say
that
if
the
history
of
Ghana
is
told
from
1957,
we
have
never
had
a
president
that
has
helped
Ghana
more
than
Nana
Akufo-Addo.
I
mean
from
1957,
even
including
your
Kwame
Nkrumah,
none
of
them
has
protected
Ghana
and
developed
the
country
more
than
Nana
Akufo-Addo,”
he
said
in
Twi
at
his
official
unveiling
event
at
the
Jubilee
Park
in
Kumasi
on
July
9,
2024.
