NAPO is not Arrogant – UG Senior Lecturer

A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Political Science, Mr Alex Kaakyire Frempong, has dispelled longstanding perception that Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), the 2024 Running Mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is arrogant.

According to the senior political scientist, the Energy Minister’s confidence is often mistaken for arrogance due to his royal upbringing and leadership qualities.

“His poise, the way he carries himself, resulting from his royal upbringing and the sort of professional things that he has done; so, he has confidence in himself. Here in Ghana, if you are like that people think you are arrogant,” he told Ghana News Agency in an interview.

“People are taking his confidence to be his arrogance, but you have to remember that he has hands-on experience and wherever he went, he did the work well.”

Mr. Kaakyire Frempong however advised NAPO to work on his communication skills to dispel the perceptions about him being arrogant.
