The
running
mate
of
the
New
Patriotic
Party
(NPP),
Dr
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh,
popularly
known
as
NAPO,
has
made
a
passionate
appeal
to
residents
of
the
Ashanti
Region.
By
ing
them
to
vote
overwhelmingly
for
the
NPP
in
the
upcoming
2024
general
elections.
Speaking
at
a
rally
in
the
Manhyia
South
constituency,
Dr
Prempeh
emphasized
the
critical
role
the
Ashanti
Region
plays
in
the
party’s
quest
to
retain
power.
He
noted
that
a
strong
turnout
from
the
region,
traditionally
an
NPP
stronghold,
is
essential
for
the
party’s
success
in
the
election.
In
his
address,
NAPO
did
not
mince
words
about
the
political
stakes.
He
stated,
“I
am
telling
you,
if
you
live
in
the
Ashanti
Region
and
you
vote
for
the
NDC,
you
are
a
nation
wrecker.”
His
remarks
have
since
sparked
a
hot
debate
amongst
Ghanaians
on
social
media
with
some
interpreting
them
as
a
direct
challenge
to
opposition
supporters
in
the
region
to
reconsider
their
political
choices.

This
is
the
time
for
the
Ashanti
Region
to
show
Ghanaians
and
tell
Npp
that
enough
is
enough
for
their
insults
just
like
Volta
region
take
do
NDC
in
2016.
First
he
said
all
the
need
is
tshirt
and
now
he’s
saying
you
folks
are
nation
wreckers

We
all
know
ok
wait
some
of
us
know
why
the
NPP
majority
Ashantis
dislike
NDC.
It
all
stems
from
the
PNDC
law
Rawlings
enacted
preventing
the
Wofa
ase3fo)
from
claiming
the
properties
of
their
late
uncles.
NPP
is
now
just
based
on
tribalism.
We
will
see
you
lot

It’s
just
a
surprise
to
those
who
don’t
know
him.
Truth
is
that’s
how
they’ve
been
campaigning
in
Kumasi
for
so
many
years.
Shameless
people.
If
you
reciprocated
the
love
Ashanti
showed
you
during
the
elections,
you
wouldn’t
even
have
to
talk
and
they’d
vote
for
you
again
in
2024
