NDC choosing you is a sign women would have a voice in governance - Queenmother of Bunkurugu to Prof. Opoku-Agyemang

The Queenmother of Bunkurugu paramountcy, Poobat Patience Suguruman Dopaak, has observed that the choosing of Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as the NDC running mate is an indication of NDC's regard for women.

Speaking at the Palace of the Paramount Chief of the Bunkurugu Traditional Area when Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang paid a courtesy call, the Queenmother noted that many political parties do not want a woman in their frontline, yet the NDC chose a woman. She added that even in social gatherings, most people don't want women to speak.

She stressed that selecting Prof. Opoku-Agyemang as a running mate shows that women would have a say in the country's governance.

Addressing a rally at Bunkurugu in the North East Region, Prof. Jane Naana said the NDC is the party that cares for everyone.

According to her, the NDC and John Mahama are the type who would not deprive people of development because they didn't vote for the party, adding that the NDC is sensitive to the needs of everyone.

The NDC's running mate urged the women to vote for the NDC party, whose flagbearer respects women.

At the rally, the former National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, stated that the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is a rhetorical and verbose politician.

According to him, Dr. Bawumia is good at verbal excellence but performs badly in practical terms.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo also wondered why every street in the President's hometown is asphalted, yet there is no single asphalt road in Dr. Bawumia's home region.
