Bawumia has degraded Office of the Vice President to its lowest level – Fifi Kwetey

The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, believes Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of former President John Dramani Mahama, is qualified and has what it takes to be Ghana’s next Vice President.

Addressing a gathering at the official inauguration of the former education minister as the running mate of the NDC, he stated that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang will restore the dignity of the particular office.

The event was held at the Kofi Ohene Konadu Auditorium at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).

In his view, the combination of John Mahama and Prof. Opoku-Agyemang will bring relief if the NDC wins the 2024 presidential election.

He claimed that the current occupant of the office, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has degraded it to the lowest level.

“The country is in a state of collapse, not in the physical form, the real collapse of our country is a moral collapse we have seen nearly 8 years. The state of this beautiful country is at an all-time low. The suffering Ghanaians are looking to breathe again.

“People of Ghana cannot breathe. The level of pain, the suffering, the hardship, the lies, the dishonesty, corruption is choking Ghana to the maximum level.

“We believe she’s in a position to support our flagbearer to bring relief and hope to Ghanaians. In the last 8-years, we have seen the office she’s going to assume brought to its lowest level.

"The office has become an office that is simply an epitome of deception, lack of credibility, lack of trustworthiness, and corruption, taking this country to a level where governance has become a joke.

“In you, Naana Jane, we see an individual who is not just an integrity but an individual who will restore that office to a place it used to be. The office today has been degraded, we believe you will restore that office.”
