Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised she will share in former president John Mahama’s collective successes, responsibilities, and setbacks if the NDC comes into power in 2025.
Addressing attendees at her official unveiling as running mate for the NDC flagbearer, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
“I will not in advancement of self-serving ambition declare to the whole world that I was only the driver’s mate,” said Prof. Opoku-Agyemang.
She added that the 2024 general election will not only serve as a means to bring the NDC back into power, but to transform the country and restore it from what she describes as turmoil faced by Ghana over the last few years.
“The 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 normalizing corruption, of incomprehensible greed and from deep despair.”
She further painted her vision for Ghana, where she envisioned a Ghana with fair justice, prosperity and proper democracy among many other agendas.
“It 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.”
