A Lecturer at the Kings University College, Prof Kwame Adjenim Boateng fully supports the idea of NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama’s decision to choose a female running mate ahead of the December 2020 polls.
He ruled out debates that the former Education Minister Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang is not ‘politically inclined’ – hence, her selection to partner Mr. Mahama will be ‘disastrous’ for the NDC.
Prof Kwame Adjenim Boateng was emphatic that “Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang can equally match vice-president, Dr. Bawumia in any way. It’s never true that she is not politically inclined. This is someone who has headed the country’s Education Ministry for years with achievements.”
John Dramani Mahama’s nomination of Professor Opoku-Agyemang as his running mate for the December 2020 election was confirmed by his party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on Monday, 6th July 2020.
Mr. Mahama later said on Facebook that Professor Opoku-Agyemang is “God-fearing”, “a distinguished scholar”, “a conscientious public servant” and “a role model” whose partnership will bring the NDC victory.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, Prof Kwame Adjenim Boateng is very optimistic that Mahama’s choice of a running mate will pull a surprise for the NDC.
“We know women are compassionate, they are not violent like men and I think that is what Ghanaians want. I am not saying women are angels but when it comes to corruption, you can trust women. Men are more corrupted than women. And this will be a plus for John Mahama in choosing a female as running mate,” He told host Mac Jerry Osei Agyeman.

HOW MANY WOMEN OCCUPY POLITICAL POSITION? BY PROPORTION WOMEN ARE EQUALLY CORRUPT JUST AS MEN. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER. PEOPLE BECOME CORRUPT BY THEIR UPBRINGING, ASSOCIATION. AND THE CONDITION IN WHICH THEY FIND THEMSELVES. PRESIDENT MILLS MIGHT NOT BE CORRUPT BUT HE HAD THE WAYOMIS, AND MAHAMAS AROUND HIM. MILLS COULD NOT DO MUCH TO STOP CORRUPTION IN HIS GOVERNMENT. AMISAH ATHUR LIKEWISE WAS A NICE GENTLEMAN BUT HE WAS SURROUNDED BY WOLVES AND COULD NOT DO MUCH TO HELP. NAANA FINDS HERSELF IN THE SAME SOUP. SHE IS HARDWORKING AND RESPECTED WOMAN BUT SHE WOULD BE NEUTRALIZE BY THE WOLVES SURROUNDING HER. SHE WOULD DEPART FROM THE POLITICAL STAGE BLEMISHED SHOULD SHE EVER BECOME A VICE PRESIDENT. SHE HAD ALREADY DENTED HER GOOD IMAGE FOR WORKING UNDER MAHAMA. SHE WOULD HAVE LEFT THE SCENE MORE DIGNIFIED AS THE FIRST WOMAN VICE CHANCELLOR OF UCC HAD SHE NOT BECOME A MINISTER UNDER MAHAMA. HER IMAGE WOULD BE MORE TARNISHED THE MORE SHE KEEP WORK UNDER MAHAMA. SHE SHOULD PRAY TO REMAIN WHERE SHE IS TO HAVE HER PEACE AND AND MAINTAIN HER HONOR.
Ghanaians know how corrupt Mr Mahama is. Naana can never stop Mr Mahama from his corrupt practice.
