Actor Kwaku Manu has criticized Matthew Opoku Prempeh, known as NAPO, the running mate of Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP), for suggesting that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has surpassed Ghana's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, in achievements.

Kwaku Manu emphasized that President Nana Addo cannot be compared to former president John Agyekum Kufour, who maintained a stable exchange rate of $1 to GH₵1 during his tenure. He pointed out that even President Kufour never sought to equate his accomplishments with those of Kwame Nkrumah.

"Even our former president, Kufour, who maintained a one-dollar, one-cedi rate, never compared himself to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Not once. Listen to me, he never did that," Kwaku Manu stated in a live TikTok video shared on X, formerly Twitter.

Kwaku Manu underscored Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's role as the pioneer of Ghana's post-independence industrialization, responsible for numerous enduring infrastructures and factories.

"For instance, the Tema motorway, built over 50 years ago, is still in use today. Nowadays, governments construct roads that deteriorate within three days," he remarked.

Kwaku Manu questioned NAPO's comparison, highlighting, "Are you trying to compare yourself to Kwame Nkrumah? He established a shoe factory, I'm talking about what he did, not what he promised to do. He also set up a car tire factory; where is that factory now?"
