Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh

Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has hinted that the 2024 elections will be about the energy sector and how the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been able to keep the lights on.

Also, he says it will be about the fact that even though other African countries like Nigeria have struggled with fuel shortage, Ghana has had no problems with shortage of fuel.

He made this known when he spoke in an interview with Kumasi-based Pure FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com

“When Nana Akufo-Addo appointed me to the Energy Ministry I told him that just as I worked hard to ensure that Free SHS won us the 2020 elections, I will do the same at the Energy Ministry to ensure that keeping the lights on wins us the 2024 election.

That is why I perform my duty diligently and do not want to be praised for performing my responsibility as the Minister responsible for Energy. That is why I wake up and get to work early,” he said.

Recalling the power crisis under the previous government he indicated that the work done at the Energy Ministry has ensured that most Ghanaians who bought generators under John Dramani Mahama forget that they had to purchase generators.
