Information Minister, Fatimatu Abubakar has praised the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh for apologizing over his comments about Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah.

In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Friday, she said the former Energy Minister has earned her respect for acknowledging that he erred.
