Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the former Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate, has said he wishes he were still in parliament.
Napo, as he is commonly referred to, highlighted that looking at the Legal Education Reform Bill and how badly it has been crafted, he wished he was still in parliament.
According to Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, he hopes to return to parliament but in a higher position, like the Speaker of Parliament or Vice President.
Speaking on GHOne TV, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh stated, “Yesterday I gave a lecture at MountCrest University College, and when I look at the Legal Education Reform Bill and how badly crafted it is, I wish I was in Parliament”.
When asked by Serwaa Amihere, the host, if he wishes to go back to parliament, Napo replied, “ Yes, but in a different capacity,” he said when asked directly if he would ever want to go back. Maybe as a Speaker… as the Vice President”.
Also, in that same interview, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh gave a cryptic reply to GHOne TV’s Serwaa Amihere on whether he wants to be president or not.
Napo, speaking on the GHOne Morning Show with Serwaa Amihere, when asked if he wants to be president, disclosed that one must learn how to serve before leading.
He, however, highlighted that those seeking to become President on the ticket of the NPP are already going through the process.
Read the dialogue between the two below:
Serwaa Amihere: Do you want to be President?
Napo: No, those who want to be president are going through the process.
Serwaa Amihere: Not now, maybe in the near future
Napo: What is the future here?
Serwaa Amihere: Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, do you ever want to be president?
Napo: That is not why I am working for Dr Bawumia. I don’t know even the word ever; I don’t understand when there is a contest ongoing.
Serwaa Amihere: it a yes or no question
Napo: it not a yes or no question, when there is a live contest
Serwaa Amihere: It certainly cannot be now, maybe in the next 12 years?
Napo: Have you seen my adopted logo?
Serwaa Amihere: No, I have not.
Napo: You have to learn to serve
Serwaa Amihere: I think you have answered my question. Meaning you want to lead, but you are learning to serve
Napo: If you don’t learn to serve, you can never be a chief
Serwaa Amihere: So you will become president, but you want to learn how to serve
Napo: If that is your wish, thank God.
