Opoku-Agyemang calls out Akufo-Addo for priotizing statue over welfare of Ghanaians
The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has voiced her disapproval over the recent erection of a statue of President Akufo-Addo in Takoradi, citing the economic struggles many Ghanaians are facing.
Speaking on Tuesday, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang argued that the statue’s construction is unjustified in the wake of the rising costs of goods and services, which she said have worsened under the leadership of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.
During her courtesy call on the Regent of Wungu, Sulemana Saka Adams, in the Walewale Constituency, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang began her two-day campaign tour of the North East Region.
She emphasized the NDC’s commitment to addressing the economic hardship that, she claims, disproportionately affects women in the country.
The NDC Vice-Presidential Candidate used the platform to underscore the party’s pledge to combat youth unemployment, a pressing issue she attributed to the current government's failure to generate jobs.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang assured Ghanaians that an NDC administration would focus on alleviating economic pressures and creating opportunities.
She highlighted several proposed initiatives that an NDC government would implement if elected, including the 24-Hour Economy, the Big Push infrastructure agenda, the Women’s Development Bank, and a National Apprenticeship Programme.
These policies, she explained, aim to generate jobs, empower women, and foster national development.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang encouraged voters to opt for a change in leadership in the December 7 elections, urging them to support the NDC’s presidential candidate, Mr. John Dramani Mahama.
She stated that a vote for Mahama would pave the way for a government dedicated to addressing the needs of all Ghanaians and mitigating the current economic strain.
