‘Thanks for using my name to fill halls but…’ -Napo to comedian OB Amponsah

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh Responds to Comedian OB Amponsah's Jokes

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh is the running mate for the 2024 NPP flagbearer. He is popularly known as “Napo.” Recently, he addressed jokes made about him by comedian OB Amponsah.

During a performance at the Bukom Boxing Arena, OB humorously referenced Napo’s comments from his campaign. The audience found these jokes amusing and laughed throughout the December 21 event.

Napo acknowledged OB’s use of his name in the stand-up routine. He expressed happiness that a comedian is promoting him for free. "If someone is using my name and filling halls, I am very happy," he said.

He added that while he appreciates the publicity, he wants to share in any financial gains. "I will let my lawyers write to him so we can share the proceeds," he joked.

One joke highlighted Napo's controversial statement comparing President Akufo-Addo to Ghana's first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. At his unveiling on July 9, 2024, Napo claimed no president has developed Ghana like Akufo-Addo.

"Since independence in 1957, no president has helped Ghana like Nana Addo," he stated. He emphasized that even Dr. Nkrumah cannot compare to Akufo-Addo’s achievements.
