The running mate of the (NPP), , popularly known as NAPO, has stated that some commercial vehicle conductors (mates) are better than their drivers.
NAPO, who was supporting the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, over his claim that he is just a 'mate' in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's government, said that although Bawumia can be labelled as a mate, he will do better than former President if given the nod to lead the country.
Speaking at a campaign rally at Abossey Okai in Accra as part of the party's regional campaign tour, Dr.
Prempeh said some 'mates' tend to have more experience than chief drivers after learning on the job and graduating.
Drawing reality to his analogy, he argued that some experienced leaders are thieves and liars, and their subordinates prove to be better than them. "Do you know that a lot of mates are better drivers than the drivers themselves? "So don't be afraid.
There are some people who are mates and learn the job, and after learning the job, they graduate to become masters. "Others become good masters, and some become bad.
Some are thieves and liars, but others will be God-fearing and good masters who grant you jobs and free schooling," he said.
