New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team member Abraham Boadi, popularly known as Opooman, has criticised party members who expressed anger over the painting at the Asokwa Interchange in Kumasi.

Reports indicate that the painting contract for the beautification of the Asokwa Interchange was awarded by Ashanti Regional Minister Dr Frank Amoakohene to Senior High School (SHS) students as part of efforts to enhance the region’s aesthetic appeal.

Both male and female SHS students actively participated in the exercise, showcasing their talent while contributing to the interchange’s beautification.

However, the initiative attracted criticism from some NPP members, who chastised the minister, with apparent political undertones in their accusations.

In response, Opooman defended Dr Amoakohene, commending him for the initiative to beautify the city.

The NPP communicator also lambasted party members opposing the idea, describing them as “lacking maturity,” and argued that the party should have supported the project instead of engaging in unnecessary attacks.

“I am part of the Bawumia camp. When I realised they were doing it, either Bawumia’s people or regional executives should have bought water or added more paint and given it to them to participate in the project. The children are products of Free SHS, and this should be attributed to Nana Addo for giving them the opportunity to display their talent.

“But instead of being proud and sharing in the glory, you are condemning it. We should be strategic; it is not everything that we say. Most of our communicators are not mature. Some people speak anyhow. When he does something wrong, we criticize him, so why don’t we commend him when he does something good? The party needs intellectuals to speak and win votes,” he said in Twi while speaking on Oyerepa FM.
