A US-BASED Ghanaian female activist, Dr. Tina Abrefa Gyan, has lauded President Nana Akufo-Addo for his recent bold call on women to push to become more active in partisan politics and to be more influential.
According to her, she is not impressed about the current involvement of women in partisan politics and other public activities, stressing the need for women to adhere to the wise counsel of the president and act accordingly.
Dr. Gyan stated that it was about time that women started to give more energy and also avail themselves for key public positions that would enable them to occupy influential positions and take decisions to benefit them.
“To positively change the trajectory of women and families’ movement, more of our kind would have to be at the decision-making table. In other words, we must prepare the menu or we will be on the menu”, she said.
Dr. Tina Gyan, who is also the first vice Chairperson of the US branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), also added that “we need more women to do politics or politics will do women”.
Speaking in an interview with the DAILY GUIDE, the activist lambasted those who misconstrued the President’s recent gender parity statement in Vancouver, Canada.
She said the President only stated the obvious, saying “I am a woman and I am not satisfied about our involvement in politics and we need to do more.”
According to her, President Akufo-Addo during his almost four-decades in active politics and public life has proven beyond every reasonable doubt that he is interested in the empowerment of women.
Dr. Abrefa said women could better champion the agenda of women and so it was high time they pushed for more and stop depending on men to fight for them.

Keep on blindly supporting this old cargo, very soon men are going to withdraw the little support they have given women are go back to the era when women were absolutely nothing. Most wise women excoriated the president simply because he put all the blame on women instead of simply saying that men will continue to advocate for women whether women are vociferously and vehemently fighting for more place in society or not. Nana addo didn't stand with women but created an impression that women were not forceful enough. If women were not serious nana addo wouldn't have had the opportunity to be on women's platform to speak those crappp.
Good morning sir/madam,I'm Nana Acquah Kumi from Abuesi. Please with all due respect I want to know that Abuesi D/A primary school and JHS is also part Nana Addo's free educational policy because pupils over there are bitterly complaining of paying ghc20 and ghc30 respectively as their examination fee for their July 2019 exams and I want to know from your source. Thank you. 0248926312
