I Am Ready To Go To Jail For 100 Years For This Comment About NAPO- Captain Smart
Captain Smart claimed to be ready to go to jail for 100 years after his comments about Napo went viral on social media. Yesterday at Kumasi Jubilee Park, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, was introduced to the public. The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has chosen him as their running mate for the upcoming election, which is just over five months away.
In a historic event, NAPO was the first running mate to be expelled from the Manhyia Palace. The Asantehene advised him to remain humble and follow Mahamudu Bawumia’s directions. During his speech, NAPO praised President Akufo-Addo, claiming no president, not even Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, is better than Akufo-Addo. This statement upset many Ghanaians.

Captain Smart, a pan-Africanist and host of Onua Maakye on Onua TV, criticized NAPO’s remarks. He regretted his votes in the 2016 and 2020 elections and condemned the NPP for allowing such comments. Captain Smart accused NAPO of arrogance and disrespecting Kwame Nkrumah.
Captain Smart stated, “I am already a walking sacrifice. My family knows anything can happen to me. I am prepared to spend 100 years in prison. I now realize I voted for animals in the past elections. NAPO is a curse for the NPP. I’m glad J. A. Kufour did not attend this embarrassing event.” He called NAPO a political fool.
Captain Smart continued his criticism, emphasizing that he is willing to face severe consequences for speaking out against NAPO’s comments. He expressed deep disappointment in the NPP for allowing NAPO to make such derogatory remarks about a respected figure like Kwame Nkrumah.
Captain Smart believes that such statements reflect poorly on the party and its leadership. He feels betrayed by his past votes and regrets supporting a party that, in his view, has shown disrespect towards Ghana’s history and its founding leaders.
In his passionate address, Captain Smart declared his readiness to face any repercussions, including imprisonment, for standing up against what he sees as an insult to Ghanaian heritage. He reaffirmed his commitment to speaking the truth, regardless of the personal risks involved.
Captain Smart concluded by urging Ghanaians to reflect on their choices and to hold their leaders accountable for their words and actions. He called for a renewed focus on respect, humility, and true leadership that honors the legacy of past leaders like Kwame Nkrumah.
Captain Smart didn’t hold back his frustration, describing NAPO’s comments as not just disrespectful but also damaging to the nation’s unity and pride. He argued that such divisive remarks could lead to unnecessary conflict among Ghanaians who respect and revere Kwame Nkrumah for his pivotal role in the country’s independence.
He went further to question the judgment and integrity of the NPP’s leadership for endorsing NAPO as a running mate. Captain Smart suggested that the party’s decision reflects a deeper issue within its ranks, where loyalty and sycophancy are rewarded over genuine leadership qualities and respect for national icons.
The host also used this opportunity to call out other political figures and members of the NPP who remained silent on the issue. He urged them to speak up and condemn NAPO’s remarks, emphasizing that silence could be interpreted as agreement or complicity.
Captain Smart reiterated his commitment to his principles and his readiness to face any consequences for his outspoken stance. He stressed that his dedication to the truth and justice outweighs any fear of imprisonment. In his view, standing up for the legacy of leaders like Kwame Nkrumah is a cause worth any personal sacrifice.
He ended his address with a powerful message to the public, urging them to be vigilant and discerning in their political choices. Captain Smart encouraged Ghanaians to support leaders who genuinely care for the nation’s heritage and its future, rather than those who seek to divide and demean. He vowed to continue his advocacy for a more respectful and united Ghana, regardless of the personal cost.
