Former minister under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has attributed his political success and influence to divine intervention, stating that God's favour has been the driving force behind his career.

In a snippet from his interview on the Personality Profile show, which he shared on his X page on August 24, 2025, Prempeh emphasised his reliance on faith. "Every step I make, I seek God first.

So, if you look at my political journey, it's nothing but pure goodness and mercy," he said.

He highlighted his time as the Minister of Education as a proof of his claim, noting that despite working with over 100 associations and unions, there were no strikes during his four-year tenure. "It can only be God," he remarked.
