Ghana's Ambassador to the United States, Hajia Alima Mahama, has praised the qualifications of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, describing him as a collaborative individual.

Reflecting on her experience during his tenure as Education Minister, she noted that she observed Dr. Opoku Prempeh, affectionately known as Napo, in Cabinet meetings.

She confidently characterised him as a humble person who welcomes constructive criticism without displaying anger or frustration.

Madam Mahama made these remarks during an event with the Ghanaian community in Memphis, Tennessee, coinciding with Dr. Opoku Prempeh's visit to the city.

She expressed her disbelief at the common perception of Dr. Opoku Prempeh as being arrogant.

“I watched him at cabinet meetings, and I will tell you what I know about him. He is humble, and he takes criticism in good faith without being angry or upset. When people say he is arrogant, I find it difficult to believe that,” she said.

She also expressed confidence in the Bawumia/Opoku Prempeh pair to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming elections, calling Dr. Opoku Prempeh the excellent pair for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Ms. Alima Mahama also encouraged the Ghanaian community to register for the Ghana card and took time to walk them through the process.
