Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has voiced his disapproval of what he sees as relentless attacks on Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

Pratt expressed concern over reports of groups targeting the minister, who also holds the position of Member of Parliament for the Manhyia South constituency.

He pointed out recent incidents, such as controversies surrounding Opoku Prempeh's marriage and criticisms related to speculation about his potential selection as a running mate.

“One of today's papers reports that a group of people are sabotaging Napo so that Bawumia won’t appoint him as his running mate. But where from this too?

“Truth be told, I haven’t heard Napo himself say that he wants to become Vice President. People are only expressing their views on the matter, that if he gets such an appointment, it would be good and that it would help the NPP and Ghana as a whole, which is not bad,” Pratt said on a panel discussion on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on April 15, 2024.

He raised doubts about the credibility of these rumours regarding the selection of a running mate and whether there is a deliberate attempt to hinder Opoku Prempeh's political ambitions.

“So why should there be a conspiracy against him?

“What wrong has Napo done for people in the Ashanti region to sabotage him, That is not fair. When Napo got married recently, people were making a lot of noise about it,” he added.
