The Flag-bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), former President John Dramani Mahama has described his running mate as God-fearing, a woman of unquestionable integrity, hardworking, and a results-oriented person.
According to him, she has carved a niche for herself as a distinguished scholar in Ghana, on the African continent and across the world
The former President who is seeking re-election said this when he formally presented his running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman to the leadership of the Christian Council of Ghana at the headquarters of the Assemblies of God Church in Accra.
He said the country needs to change course from the despicable, destructive, and unprincipled kind of politics Ghanaians are currently witnessing.
“There is so much work to do, so much to build. We cannot succeed if we abandon projects funded with taxpayers’ money just because our opponent started them; we cannot succeed if we target and destroy the businesses of people perceived to be in support of an opposition party, causing families to lose their livelihoods; we cannot succeed if instead of uniting our different people we promote intolerance and division.”
Prof. Opoku-Agyeman, for her part, said the NDC as a party has always believed in the welfare of the vulnerable, for which reason she joined the party.
She said the party was counting on God for a victory in the upcoming December presidential polls.
She added that the party will continue to advance the course of the vulnerable in a society where everyone counted.
