Kumawood actor and comedian, Kwaku Manu, has taken a swipe at Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh also known as Napo following his remarks that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Dr Martin Opoku Prempeh made the comments during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) rally in Kumasi, where he was officially unveiled as the running mate to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2024 elections.
In response to Napo’s comments, Kwaku Manu in a video which has so far gone viral passionately defended Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy and achievements:
“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 fired back.
The controversial Kumawood actor questioned how any current government could compare itself to the legacy of Kwame Nkrumah.
He stressed that the late former president’s achievements were not just promises but realities that transformed the nation.
