According to him, people from various backgrounds would be visiting the palace to pay homage to Otumfuo and also wish him well, hence the plan the clean the constituency.

Napo, who actively participated in the clean-up exercise, explained that his decision to enter the dirty gutters for the five-hour campaign, despite his status, was to encourage the youth to take the exercise serious.
