Kofi Abrefa Afena, Press Aide to NPP Vice-Presidential Candidate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has firmly denied a recent news report claiming that Dr. Prempeh made discriminatory remarks against the Ga and Ewe ethnic

Gas and Ewes are Ghana’s problem; historically they shouldn’t have been part of Ghana

Mr. Afena condemned the report as “deliberately false and a desperate effort to incite ethnic divisions.

In a statement released on Monday, Mr. Afena unequivocally denied that Dr. Opoku Prempeh made such remarks, calling the report “a baseless fabrication.”

Dr. Prempeh has always respected the rich diversity of Ghana’s ethnic groups and has been a consistent advocate for unity and development across all Regions. This report is nothing more than a baseless attempt to tarnish his image and undermine his commitment to serving every Ghanaian regardless of ethnicity

As Minister of Education, he worked tirelessly to implement the Free Senior High School policy, ensuring that students from every ethnic background across the nation have access to quality education. He has always believed in inclusivity and equal opportunity for all Ghanaians

The Press Aide urged the public to dismiss the false report and resist letting divisive rumors impact the country’s political dialogue.

He further appealed to the media to uphold high standards of integrity by verifying information before publication, particularly on sensitive topics that could incite divisions.

Mr. Afena emphasized that Dr. Opoku Prempeh, fondly known as NAPO, remains dedicated to fostering unity in Ghana and advancing development and prosperity for all citizens.

The Vice Presidential Candidate’s focus is on policies that improve lives, not on engaging in or endorsing divisive rhetoric

This statement follows growing concerns about the spread of misinformation as the 2024 elections approach.

Mr. Afena called on Ghanaians to remain vigilant and fact-check all news reports, especially those with ethnic sentiments, to protect Ghana’s peace and unity.
