Fiifi Boafo, spokesperson for Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has addressed the controversy over Prempeh's comparison of President Akufo-Addo’s achievements to those of Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Speaking on Adom FM, Boafo clarified that Prempeh's statement was subjective and not intended to disrespect Nkrumah.
During his unveiling, Prempeh had claimed no president, including Nkrumah, had developed Ghana as significantly as Akufo-Addo, which drew criticism, including from former President John Mahama.
Boafo emphasized that the comparison was aimed at the current political context, particularly between the NPP and the NDC, not to disparage Nkrumah.
