It is widely anticipated that President Nana Akufo-Addo will comply with these hidden agendas, setting the stage for a significant ministerial reshuffle that will enable these figures to pave the way for their questionable deals.
The Recall of Napo's Confrontation with GNPC Board Chairman
Ghanaians may recall the moment when Napo publicly confronted the Board Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Freddie Blay, regarding the controversial PetroSA deal. This deal sought to relinquish a portion of Ghana's oil interests to the South African National Company (PetroSA).

As the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and the Energy Minister, Napo rebuked Blay for advocating the deal despite being informed multiple times that it would not gain approval due to its adverse implications for Ghana. He firmly instructed the GNPC board chairman to withdraw from the deal and cease further engagement.
False reports and media warfare
In the wake of this clash, the Daily Guide, a newspaper linked to Freddie Blay, along with its affiliates, launched a sustained media campaign against the minister. This campaign aimed to mislead the public and generate discontent towards Napo.
Disregarded demand for the Finance Minister's removal
In a parallel development, the majority of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament (MPs) expressed a majority decision to remove Ken Ofori-Atta from his role as the Minister of Finance. However, the President conveyed that while he acknowledged their request, it seemed unlikely that he would accede to it.

Opoku-Prempeh in the Crosshairs
According to our source, the impending reshuffle is poised to primarily target Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh, who has consistently been in the spotlight for his principled stance against dubious deals in the energy sector.
The Daily Statesman, a privately-owned newspaper associated with the President's cousin, Gabby Otchere Darko, was the first to publicize the reshuffle story to gauge public sentiment.
