Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, to participate in a public debate.
During his interview on the popular Kokrokoo show on Peace FM with host Kwame Sefa Kayi and monitored by MyNewsGH.com, NAPO showed his willingness to engage in a conversation that could provide insight into their contrasting ideas for Ghana.
“Let’s be honest; this is an opportunity for us to present our ideas directly to the people,” NAPO declared, emphasizing the significance of open dialogue in democratic processes.
He pointed out that both he and Opoku-Agyemang have previously served as ministers of education, making their potential debate not only relevant but also a fair contest of ideas. “We both have the experience needed to discuss education and development policies, so let’s do this,” he added.
The timing of this challenge is significant because former President John Dramani Mahama, representing the NDC, has recently refused to join a debate with NPP’s candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
NAPO seized this opportunity to criticize the NDC’s stance, stating, “If Mahama is unwilling to engage, then it’s even more important for Jane and me to have this debate. The people deserve to hear from us.”
With a confident demeanour, NAPO asserted that he would come out on top in any debate scenario. “I can win this debate anywhere, even in Jane’s own bedroom,” he quipped, showcasing his belief in the superiority of the NPP’s ideas over those of the NDC.
He went on to stress that the NDC has failed to present innovative solutions to the challenges facing the nation, saying, “We need fresh ideas and a clear vision for our future. It’s time for real discussions, not just empty promises”
