NAPO’s confidence mistaken for arrogance

Former Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has downplayed claims that Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh is arrogant.

To him, it’s a misconception which should not be encouraged in the political discourse.

Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu thinks that the Energy Minister’s self-confidence is what people have over the years misconstrued as arrogance.

“Napo speaks plainly so people misconstrue that plain talk as arrogance. People who are close to him know that he is not arrogant. He just speaks plainly and that is what people misconstrue as arrogance.

Napo is someone who after a thoughtful reflection on what he said will come back to you and apologize and let you understand that he may have been overtaken by his emotions. He also forgives easily,” he said.

He continued “Now that he’s become a running mate, I know it is not confirmed but it would. The Vice President is still doing his consultations but someone gave the information out but the constitution of the party says the main body he should consult is the national council”.
