The NDC Running Mate of former President, John Dramani Mahama, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, would be sworn into office as the first female Vice President of Ghana on January 7, 2025, Nana Oppong Panyea II, the Chief of Achimfo in the Aowin Constituency of the Western North Region has predicted.
He said the unsurpassed record of the previous NDC administration under former President, John Mahama, provided enough rational and reference for the people of Ghana to vote for the NDC and to ensure that the country voted in office the first female vice president.
Nana Panyea made the prediction when the NDC running mate called on him and his elders at his palace to announce her presence in the community and to seek their permission to enable her engage with the people in the communities during her campaign tour of the area.
He stated that he was making the remark very much aware that Chiefs are not expected to engage in partisan politics but the reality was that “Chiefs are not barred from telling the truth which is that Prof. Naana Opoku –Agyemang from her accomplishment so far is more than qualified to hold the position of the first female vice president of the country.”
Added to that, Nana Panyea revealed that Naana Opoku- Agyemang was contesting on the ticket of the NDC which had helped in the development of the Achimfo community more than any other government in the history of the country.
In her response, Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang noted that development was the goal of the NDC and former President, John Mahama, and for that reason any citizen who genuinely wanted development in their communities and lives ought to vote for the NDC.
She took pains to explain aspects of the 24 Hour Economy proposal by the former President, John Mahama, and the establishment of the National Women’s Development Bank to the Chiefs and elders which she said, were well thought out policies to alleviate the hardships the citizens were currently going through in the country as well as provide more jobs for the youth.
Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang has since ended the 4-day tour of the Western North region which took her to Achimfo, in Aowin Constituency, Dadieso in the Suaman Constituency, Datano and Suiano in the Bodi Constituency, Camp Junctionand Adabokrom in the Bia East Constituency, Essam and Elluokrom in the Bia East Constituency and Asawinso and Bopa in the Sefwi Wiaso constituency.
She was accompanied on the tour by Mr Alex Segbefia, her campaign manager, Mr Agyenim Boateng, her campaign spokesperson and other members of the campaign team.
