General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu believes that the NDC has made a grave mistake in appointing Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as running mate.
Congratulating her on her appointment as running mate, he disclosed that the former Education Minister is no match for them.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the pedigree of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is no match for Prof. Opoku-Agyemang in terms of governance and politics.
The National Democratic Congress should understand that the New Patriotic Party is the better Managers of the economy especially with the pragmatic measures put in place by the Akufo-Addo government with Veep Bawumia leading as the Chairman of the Economic Management Team.
"What track record can the NDC's appointed running mate boast off? With all her years as an academician, what major achievement can you credit to her all these years?" he rhetorically asked.
According to him The Office of the vice president comes with a lot of responsibilities.
"You will need somebody who is very much experienced to assist you and more so the person should be very innovative and very pragmatic."
“When the ‘Montie Trio’ threatened death upon some Supreme Court Justices, including the then Chief Justice Theodora Georgina Wood, this newly appointed running mate to Mahama was one of those who joined the campaign for their release."
“I wonder the kind of message that John Dramani Mahama is sending Ghanaians by picking Jane Naana Opoku- Agyemang as his vice presidential candidate when her stewardship in the past brought such heartache and trauma to her colleague women,” he said.
Mahama Picks Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Council and Council of Elders on Monday, July 6, 2020, unanimously endorsed Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as Running Mate for Mr. Mahama as the party prepares for the Presidential elections this year.
Former President Mahama commended his Running Mate describing her as a distinguished scholar and role model.
“Naana Jane is God-fearing, a distinguished scholar, a conscientious public servant, and a role model," he posted on his Facebook.
Some commentators have also described the NDC's choice as a suitable match for Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as President Nana Akufo-Addo competes with JohnMahama in the December polls.

There she goes. Bawumia said it. NDC people don't like reading. Read carefully before you jump to hasty conclusion.
NPP IS JUST JITTERY UPON PROF NJO-A'S SELECTION. CONTINUE BRAGGING...YOU ARE ON YOU WAY BACK TO BBU-SH/OPPOSITION IF YOU DONT KNOW. YOU WANTED SOMEONE LESS SO THAT YOU CAN OPEN UR MOUTHS YAANDE...ARE YOU (NPP) NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY IF UR OPPONENT IS MAKING MISTAKES? WE SHALL SEE COME DEC 7 IF NDC MADE A MISTAKE OR NOT.
@ama, i dont think you really read what JB said. All that JB is saying is the woman provide her track record in management since the economy running is not by trial and error. Dont let us turn our politics into male against female banter since that will not augur well for the country please.
I hope the women all over Ghana are listening. Buaben asamoah says if John mahama was serious with Ghanaians he wouldn't have appointed a woman as vice and now John boadu is also saying it is a mistake to appoint a woman as vice. This means the npp do not want women to be in high office. If you appoint a woman as vice then you are not serious, and basically women are mistake when you appoint them to high office.
Utterly rub b1sh*. Then Mr Apio, Blue Kiosk, VC10, Ogugro John Boadu please come and appoint the most qualified running mate for us in the NDC. Even someone like you became Gen. Sec. of your party NPP by default; before twist and turns favoured you to become the elected Gen. Sec. Go and stand in front of a mirror- examine yourself first in the mirror before you pass any comments about the woman. It is only a matter of time.
