Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as ‘Napo,’ has stated that if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is elected president in 2025, traditional and religious leaders will play a key role in governance.
Speaking in Debiso, Western North Region, Napo highlighted that a Bawumia-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration aims to partner with chiefs and clergy to address the growing issue of moral decay, which he described as a major challenge facing the nation.
Napo expressed concern over rising moral decadence, particularly among the youth, which he and Dr. Bawumia view as a barrier to national development.
He noted that traditional and religious leaders, given their respect and influence, would be valuable partners in fostering a morally strong society.
“When Dr. Bawumia becomes president, he will collaborate with chiefs and religious leaders to address moral decay,” Napo said, pointing to issues like corruption, theft, teenage pregnancies, and social division as symptoms of this decline.
He emphasized that sustainable development relies on a morally upright population, saying, “We cannot achieve true progress with a morally compromised society. Tackling moral decay is vital for development.”
As president, Dr. Bawumia would build on existing initiatives by engaging community leaders to help restore social integrity.
Napo ended by encouraging voters to support Dr. Bawumia in the December 7 election, underscoring the NPP’s commitment to advancing national progress.
