MP for Yendi, Farouk Aliu Mahama, has predicted that Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) vice-presidential candidate, will soon shut all of his critics.

According to asaaseradio.com, Mahama is confident that NAPO’s selection will enhance the party's vote count, particularly in their stronghold, the Ashanti Region.

He also asserted that people often mistake NAPO's attitude for arrogance, but he disagrees, saying that “He speaks his mind, just like me.

He doesn’t know how to pretend; NAPO speaks his mind and he is a confident person. So, he has been misconstrued to be arrogant.”

Aliu Mahama said this during a TownHall Talk on Asaase 99.5.

He continued by saying that “Somebody who has been trained by royals can never have any sign or blood of arrogance in his system because his father was a humble man.

In politics, it is not all that everybody says about you, is right. But I believe it rather helps to shape him.”
