The esteemed paramount chief of Kumawu, Barima Sarfo Tweneboah Kodua, has expressed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has made a commendable choice in selecting Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as their candidate for vice president.
He noted that Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s selection of Dr. Prempeh, affectionately known as ‘Napo’ and a distinguished son of Asanteman, as his running mate for the forthcoming election, has conferred honor upon the chiefs and the entire Asanteman community.
Your elevation to the vice presidential candidate position in your political party has brought honour to Asanteman.

He confidently asserted that Napo will further elevate the reputation of Asanteman upon his ascension to the vice presidency of Ghana, promising to continue his prayers for Napo to achieve his significant aspirations.
The Kumawu Traditional Leader commended Napo for his outstanding performance in public service, particularly during the past eight years of NPP governance, affirming his competence, integrity, and capability.
As the Minister of Education, Napo met expectations by diligently implementing the free Senior High School (SHS) social intervention policy, which has significantly contributed to reducing school dropout rates.
Your free SHS programme has helped parents, guardians, and even chiefs. These days, people don’t come to us for school fees, and it’s all because of your splendid works.

Your good works in the Energy Ministry is also visible for all to see.
