Kumawood comic actor Kwaku Manu has voiced criticism against Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, for his remarks comparing President Akufo-Addo’s contributions to Ghana’s development with those of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
During his unveiling as the running mate to the NPP flagbearer on July 9, NAPO asserted that President Akufo-Addo has made the most significant developmental impact in Ghanaian history.
In response to NAPO’s remarks, Kwaku Manu passionately defended Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy and achievements in a viral video.
“Kufuor capped the dollar to One Cedi, but he never compared himself to Kwame Nkrumah. Kwame Nkrumah? Someone who did a shoe factory… it wasn’t by mouth, the factory was working.
We were doing car tyres at that time. We gained independence with Kwame Nkrumah. He did Tema Harbour… show me a government like him. Nkrumah built the universities and most Senior High Schools, how do you compare yourself to him,” Kwaku Manu stated.
The Kumawood actor questioned how any current government could compare itself to Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy.
He emphasized that Nkrumah’s achievements profoundly transformed the country and were more than just rhetoric.
