NAPO: The Firebrand Leader Ghana Deserves? – Collins Owusu Amankwaah Hits Back at Critics

In a fiery rebuttal to critics, Collins Owusu Amankwaah, former MP for Manhyia North, has passionately defended Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, affectionately known as NAPO, amid swirling debates over his suitability for the vice-presidential role.

Appearing on Oyerepa TV, Amankwaah dismissed detractors who argue that NAPO’s no-holds-barred rhetoric and combative style disqualify him from such a high-profile position. With unshaken confidence, he declared:

“NAPO is more than his speeches—he’s a results-driven leader who delivers where it matters most. If you think passion is a weakness, you clearly don’t know the man behind the words.”

Amankwaah’s spirited defense went beyond personality politics, touching on the essence of leadership. He criticized what he called “superficial judgments” of NAPO’s fiery public persona, emphasizing that Ghana needs leaders who prioritize action over appearances.

“Leadership isn’t a beauty contest for soft-spoken figures; it’s about rolling up your sleeves and getting the job done,” he argued. “NAPO’s record speaks louder than any rally speech—this is a man who tackles challenges head-on and produces tangible results.”

Known for his uncompromising rhetoric, NAPO has faced criticism from opponents who label him “too combative” for the delicate art of governance. However, Amankwaah painted a different picture: a fearless leader whose passion reflects his deep commitment to Ghana’s progress.

As debates intensify, the question lingers: Is NAPO’s fiery demeanor a liability—or exactly what Ghana needs to shake up the political status quo? For Amankwaah, the answer is clear. “Ghana doesn’t need lukewarm leaders. We need bold, decisive figures who can make the hard calls—and NAPO is that man.”
