The running mate of the presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman, has sold the policies of the party to voters in the Ashanti region.
Prof. Opoku-Agyeman, who is currently touring the Ashanti region, first met the professional bodies of ASHPROF, made up of UTAG, NAGRAT, GUTA, the Teachers’ Forum, market women association and the Senior Staff Association of Ghana Universities, at Nhyiaeso in the Ashanti Region.
A post the NDC vice presidential candidate made on her X page said the organisations aired their concerns regarding the culture of intimidation, fear, discrimination and lack of respect for established norms in the practice of their profession.
The discussion with the professional bodies, according to her, moved on to the need to reset our country.
She explained it would require collective efforts, sacrifice and acceptance of responsibility and urged them to read the NDC manifesto, in order to appreciate the policies advanced by the NDC for resetting Ghana.
Prof Opoku-Agyeman empathised with the concerns the unions raised, assuring them that although the economic situation is unbearable, the NDC government is committed to working hard to make things better.
Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyeman also had a meeting with identifiable groups such as artisans like hairdressers, hair braiders, beauticians, dressmakers, tailors, traditional healers, beekeepers, glaziers among others at the GNAT Hall in Kumasi, and explained to them that the NDC is ever committed to training the youth in diverse areas for the advancement of country, community and self.
In an attempt to woo prospective voters to vote for the NDC, ahead of the upcoming polls, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang walked the various groups through the economic empowerment policies such as ‘Adwuma Wura’ and ‘Mo Ne Yɔ,’ which are policies contained in the NDC Manifesto.
Addressing the group at the GNAT Hall in Kumasi, Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who was accompanied by Betty Mould-Iddrisu, former Attorney-General, Regional and Constituency Executives, led by the Regional Secretary, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, shared the tenets of the National Apprenticeship Programme, the Women’s Development Bank and how all these play out in making the 24-Hour Economy plausible.
From Subin, Prof Opoku-Agyemang and her entourage rushed to Asawase, where she met the Magajiyas.
At the meeting, she reinforced the key points of the NDC manifesto in the areas of health and development for women.
Prof Naana Jane talked about the collective ideas that came from the people in putting together the NDC Manifesto and reiterated the NDC’s commitment to staying faithful to the expectations of the voter.
Backing her address with examples, she told the gathering that gave the training to female doctors who would cater to female patients, especially Muslim women in need of prenatal care, as requested by the Muslim community some time ago.
Prof. Opoku Agyemang ceased the opportunity and explained the NDC’s National Apprenticeship Programme for the youth and Women’s Development Bank.
“I implored on the women that on December 7th, they should vote massively for the NDC by placing their thumb on the space provided beside the picture umbrella in order to make all these policies plausible.”
The running mate of John Mahama also passed through Agogo Market in the Asante-Akim North Municipal and engaged with the market women who danced in admiration of the customised music of the NDC.
At Agogo, Naana Opoku-Agyeman assured the market women of the NDC’s respect for women and its commitment to their welfare, especially in meeting the peculiar needs of women and children in many terms, including economic and health needs, as well as issues that affect children.
According to her post on X, she explained the Women’s’ Development Bank and its benefits for women to them and urged them to vote massively for H. E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC to bring the change we all desire in the lives of women.
