Former President John Dramani Mahama has criticised Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as NAPO, the running mate of the (NPP) flagbearer , over his controversial 'Your Kwame Nkrumah' comment. According to Mahama, Ghana's customs and traditions dictate that the dead must be respected, and speaking ill of them goes against traditional norms. He stated that unlike someone alive who can respond to insults or allegations, the deceased have no way to defend themselves. He added that if it were in the olden days when ghosts had powers, NAPO would have been dealt with by Nkrumah's ghost. "The running mate for NPP when they went and introduced him to Otumfuo; Otumfuo said we brought you up because you are part of the Manhyia Palace and we know we brought you up well.
