NPP Communicator Challenges Opoku-Agyemang: What Is Your Legacy For Women And Girls

According to recent reports, Tabitha Ayilla Apegyine, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications Team, has challenged Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to account for her achievements regarding the empowerment and welfare of Ghanaian women and young girls.

Speaking on the Vice President’s tenure, Apegyine urged Prof. Opoku-Agyemang to conduct an honest self-assessment of her record, questioning what tangible, measurable benefits she has delivered to women who look up to her as a political trailblazer and role model.

Apegyine argued that holding the high office of Vice President carries significant symbolic weight, which must be matched with visible action, targeted policies, and concrete social interventions. “Rhetoric alone is insufficient,” she asserted, emphasizing that Ghanaians—especially women and youth—deserve impactful initiatives that directly improve their economic and social well-being.

The challenge adds to heightened political exchanges over government performance and gender leadership. In response to similar critiques, National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters have historically defended Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s record, pointing to her extensive career in higher education, her tenure as Education Minister, and her advocacy for women’s advancement as evidence of her ongoing commitment to social progress.

The exchange highlights broader national debate regarding high-profile political offices and the expectations placed on female leaders. While opposition figures contend that executive power should yield distinct, gender-focused policy outcomes, government defenders maintain that national leadership addresses systemic development across all sectors.

Concluding her remarks, Apegyine reaffirmed the opposition’s commitment to holding public officials accountable, urging citizens to continuously demand transparency and measurable results regarding policies targeting women and young people across Ghana.
