Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a recent turn of events, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the renominated running mate to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has taken a direct shade at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his controversial \u201cdriver\u2019s mate\u201d comment.<\/p>\n
The verbal spar ignited when Vice President Bawumia, laying out his aspirations as the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), made a noteworthy statement claiming his past role as merely a \u201cdriver\u2019s mate.\u201d This declaration quickly garnered attention and sparked responses from various political figures.<\/p>\n
In a swift and composed retaliation, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang assured Mr. Mahama, and the public that she refrains from reducing her achievements to a mere title such as \u201cdriver\u2019s mate.\u201d<\/p>\n
During her introduction in Accra on Wednesday, Prof Opoku-Agyemang assured former President Mahama that she would partake in the party\u2019s collective successes and take responsibility for any setbacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will share in our collective successes and share responsibility for our setbacks if any. And at the time of reckoning, Your Excellency John Mahama, I will not in advancement of self-serving ambition declare to the whole world that I was only the driver\u2019s mate,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
The former Education Minister remarked, \u201cThe election is not only about bringing the NDC back to power, which is indispensable in our current circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe elections ahead and winning them is about winning elections for a purpose.
The purpose goes beyond those enumerated above. The purpose is the opportunity to heal our country again. It is about the opportunity to pull Ghana back from the precipice of destruction, of normalising corruption, of incomprehensible greed and from deep despair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is to work towards a Ghana where citizens have confidence and hope and are determined to regain their independence of thought and of agenda. We must work towards a Ghana that at the very least, can feed itself; where the law truly works; where there is shared prosperity; where democracy has not become a fluke; where people are not abused and where the basic necessities of life are not denied the majority or eventually, anyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a chance to work hard towards a country where citizens do not feel disrespected, are not intimidated, ignored because of the way they vote or the language they speak. The victory we seek as a party is to invite everyone to the onerous task of rebuilding a broken Ghana, of restoring hope, in a manner that the NDC is capable of doing by their history and achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n
