The decision by former president John Dramani Mahama to declare Professor
Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is his running mate for the impending 2024
general elections is one of the best decisions ever made by any political leader
in this country, it is in the interest of mother Ghana.
During the 2020 general elections, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was the
party’s running mate to H.E. John Dramani Mahama, and she performed
tremendously as a first-timer. it is therefore a laudable idea for the former
president to retain her going into the 2024 general elections.
The recent outdooring of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang after her earlier selection by
H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the party deserve commendations from all
women groups and women activists in this country because it is a positive sign
to the Ghanaian political scene to promote gender balance and equality.
The declaration has sent fears down the spine of the ruling New Patriotic Party
because they are well aware of her immense qualities and attributes t
hat have
the propensity to bring victory for the NDC. It is all but guaranteed if it is well communicated.
Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang embodies qualities of substance and integrity, making her an exceptional choice. Her appointment will significantly and positively contribute to the NDC’s quest for victory in the upcoming elections. H.E. John Mahama could not have chosen a more suitable candidate.
Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is a woman of substance, a woman of integrity, and a woman of character who brings on board a wealth of experience and qualities that will inure to the benefit of the country in our quest for national development. Ghanaians cannot afford to miss this glorious opportunity.
During her tenure as the Vice-Chancellor of a state university in Ghana when
she took over as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, and she exhibited great leadership traits; her human relationship with staff and colleagues was exceptional and impactful; she is humble, honest, and tolerant.
When
serving as the Minister of Education, one of her focus areas was
empowering girl-child education and empowering women with advocacies and
policies that uplift women. During her tenure as Minister for Education, she
focused on implementing policies that covered inclusiveness in education in
Ghana, which birthed the Inclusive Education Policy in 2015.
If the NDC is voted, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang will use her office as vice president
to influence sustainable development and practical youth-centred policies.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang has a calm demeanour, is very respectful, and is unprovocative. During the 2020 general elections, her campaign messages were devoid of attacks, innuendoes, and corrosive words against her opponents. She exhibited maturity and uplifted the running mate slot to a new and higher standard.
Her intensive campaign in the coastal communities and her home region, the
Central Region will yield positive results and the NDC will win most of the
constituencies in the region.
The combination
of an intelligent and inclusive personality such as Prof.
Opoku-Agyemang with an experienced, visionary, humble, and patriotic
personality such as H.E. John Dramani Mahama is the perfect antidote to the
problems faced by this country at this moment in time.
