Founder and president of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has offered advice to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, following his recent nomination as the running mate to NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Mr Cudjoe urged NAPO to be more mindful of his public utterances, emphasizing the importance of effective communication in his new role.

NAPO's nomination has stirred diverse reactions, with some members of the public labeling him as arrogant based on his public statements.

Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV, Cudjoe highlighted the need for NAPO to enhance his approach to public communication.

"He (NAPO) needs to work on his public utterances," Cudjoe remarked during the interview. "He takes his job seriously, but human relations are very important. Especially during challenging times such as economic difficulties and power challenges under Nana Addo's administration, proper communication becomes crucial."

Mr Cudjoe expressed concern that NAPO's demeanor on political platforms may not align with the expectations for someone aspiring to the vice presidency.

He suggested that a more measured and empathetic communication style would be more suitable for someone in NAPO's position.

"When he is on the political platform, I think he presents himself differently, and I don’t think that is the demeanor we need from a gentleman aspiring to hold the office of vice president," Cudjoe noted.
