The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has urged traditional leaders across the country to have a say in Ghana’s political landscape.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh said chiefs play a critical role in shaping the country, hence the need to voice out their concerns.
Speaking at a meeting with the Nungua Traditional Council in Accra, Dr Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO urged electorates in the area to consider voting for the NPP and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the December polls.
“My campaign is different, I visit every royal house to tell them one thing. I tell them to help us, pray for us, guide us, counsel us, and give the direction to us. So, the Ghana that we’re developing is a Ghana that will be developed in freedom.
“I implore every traditional leader, the elders that this game called politics, have you realised that the politicians have turned round to tell you not to do politics, if we didn’t do politics how did we come by independence? I’m not saying wear NPP colours or NDC colours.
“I’m saying that whether it is NPP or NDC, it’s your right to tell us what is right. It is not our right to tell you not to be part of us, it is your right, to crave it. The people of Nungua should crave Nungua, it’s theirs. Everything God put on Nungua was for the development of Nungua.”
