Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister for Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has strongly refuted allegations that he made disparaging remarks about the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/b><\/p>\n

In a press statement issued by his spokesperson, Kofi Abrefa Afena, the Minister categorically denied the accusations.<\/p>\n

He asserted that the video in question was manipulated to create discord between him and the Vice President.<\/p>\n

The statement, released on Tuesday, December 19, emphasised Dr. Opoku Prempeh\u2019s unwavering confidence in Dr. Bawumia, declaring him the best choice for both Ghanaians and the NPP to secure a victory in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Prempeh wishes to reiterate his absolute belief and confidence in the Flagbearer of the NPP, His Excellency, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the most competent and credible candidate, with the proven incorruptibility, to beat the NDC Flagbearer in 2024, based on the NPP\u2019s superior record in government.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the Energy Minister is of the firm view that, the people of Ghana on the balance of probabilities, will renew the NPP mandate with Dr Bawumia because, even in the face of genuine global shocks, as attested to by former President Mahama in his foreign engagements, the government has remained resolute, steering the country out of the woods,\u201d excerpts of the statement said.<\/p>\n

He further urged the public to dismiss the video entirely and not be swayed by its content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general public is thus, kindly requested to totally disregard the deliberate slant and distortions put on the video.,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
