"Anaesthetic Outdooring" Of Running-mate Won't Save You, We Don't Have Short Memories - Mahama Told
Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan, believes former President and NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama is using his Running Mate, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, as a cover for his ineptitude.
To him, the introduction of Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang into the highest political stage doesn't overwrite the bad governance of John Mahama when he was President of the Republic of Ghana.
''His (Mahama) mindset is that this woman is a woman and also a woman of integrity, so he can use her as a cover up. When you look at even his poster, you'll see him hiding behind the woman; he's using her a cover,'' he stated.Mahama , 'in selecting Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, President Mahama has once again shown his incompetence'', he said.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', the Central Regional Minister believed Mr Mahama and the NDC have shot themselves in the foot for choosing Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang to partner the party's flagbearer in the 2020 elections.
He pointed out that Ghanaians will be reminded about some notable underachievements of the learned Professor when she was Education Minister under the Mahama regime, saying she caused the discontinuation of the payment of teacher allowances and mismanaged the country's education sector.
"Mr Mahama is still living under the impression that Ghanaians have short memories and have forgotten the poor decisions he and his recently selected Running Mate made while in government.
''Now, by this appointment, you have elevated these matters again. What will make someone act in this way if it was not incompetence?" he rhetorically asked.
Touching on the NDC outdooring ceremony of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang held at the UPSA in Accra a couple of days ago, Hon. Duncan labeled the ceremony as ''more or less anaesthetic. A lot of the people there were sleeping''.
''If they were competent, they would have put the thing together and couched a very powerful speech. If even it is one policy, enunciate further, go down; that will touch the heart and minds of the Ghanaian people'', he stressed.
