A communication team member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and his team for an  impressive organization of the National Day of Prayer and Thanks giving event held on 1st July, 2025. The event aimed at bringing Ghanaians together in spiritual reflection, intercession, and gratitude for the nation's peace, stability, and shared destiny. Mr Ahmed Safian Bawre, a member of the NDC communication team, commended Elvis Ankrah and his team for their competent initiative, emphasizing that this event can serve as a catalyst to improve unity among Muslims, Christians and other faiths in Ghana. As a former Minister for Youth and Sports and Director of Elections of the NDC, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has played significant roles in Ghanaian politics and I'm not surprised of how he and his team were able to bring all key players in the country under  one umbrella devoid of party politics . He said, among all the campaign promises of his excelle...

Opoku Prempeh's Nkrumah Slur Ignites Fresh Political Firestorm

-


The simmering political landscape in Ghana has been reignited by controversial remarks made by the NPP's vice presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, about Ghana's founding father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Opoku Prempeh's assertion that no Ghanaian leader, including Nkrumah, has matched President Akufo-Addo's developmental strides has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters.

Sekou Nkrumah, the son of the iconic independence leader, has led the charge against the NPP's second-in-command,dismissing his comments as a desperate attempt to pander to the party's base. The younger Nkrumah, in a scathing rebuke,argued that his father's legacy transcends partisan politics and that such disparaging remarks are not only disrespectful but also historically inaccurate.

Nkrumah's enduring impact on Ghana, particularly in infrastructure development and the nation's path to independence, is undeniable. The Akosombo Dam, a monumental project spearheaded by Nkrumah, remains a testament to his visionary leadership. Critics argue that subsequent governments have failed to build upon this legacy, and Opoku Prempeh's comments appear to be an attempt to rewrite history.

The NPP's justification for such a bold claim remains unclear, and it is likely to face intense scrutiny in the coming days.The opposition NDC has wasted no time in capitalizing on the situation, portraying the NPP as a party that is out of touch with the nation's history and aspirations.




As the political temperature rises, it is evident that the Nkrumah legacy continues to be a potent force in Ghanaian politics. Whether Opoku Prempeh's comments will damage the NPP's electoral prospects remains to be seen, but they have undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of the Ghanaian electorate.

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
