NPP General Secretary, John Boadu thinks Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang is not a popular figure.
Former President John Mahama on Monday announced the former Education Minister and University of Cape Coast’s first female Vice-Chancellor as his running mate.
And while the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) thinks she is bringing nothing new on board, the oppposition NDC strongly disagrees.
Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is reported to have said that Mahama should have settled on a different person.
“If he (John Mahama) wanted a woman, when they were mentioning some women who have demonstrable competence who have risen through this House to establish themselves firmly in the feminist [sphere], one such person could have been Hanna Tetteh. She has been an MP before, she has been a Minister of Foreign Affairs. So, she has learned the rules. So, she could have complemented President Mahama," he told the Parliamentary press corps on Tuesday, 7th July 2020.
And to further buttress the Majority Leader's point, General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu speaking in an interview on Neat FM said it will take a long time before she adjusts herself to the political terrain and to gain some popularity.
"Take her to Bukom or let her take a walk from Bukom to Makola and count the number of people who will wave . . . lead her anywhere . . . that's not to say women are not qualified or capable," he told Maame Biama Kwafo on the 'Me Man Nti' programme.

#Women lives and voice matter. Currently, the four most important, prominent, personalities and positions in the country, namely,Presidency, Vice President,Speaker of Parliament, Chief Justice all are occupied by men. Still ,CORRUPTION is rife in Ghana and Ghana is wobbling. Women deserve their rightful places in Ghana.

Ebei, NPP, you deserve better general secretary and better communication director than John boadu and buaben asamoah. Why do you select two apio lovers to such enviable positions. They also open their mouths and talk by heart. If you consider their attack on this woman, you see clearly that the party is no more an intellectual party as they once was. No wonder things are going the way they are in government.
Apart from sammy awuku who makes some sense, the rest of the npp current executives are all FUUULLS. How can a general secretary of the ruling government in Ghana talk like this! There is a ***barred word*** in assin gyaaken, I don't know whether the son is John Boadu, because he speaks and talks like him.
John Boadu, your father will wave at her any time. Drunkard and a ***barred word*** like you. If it had not been luck, there's no way people like you can become a General Secretary of a party. You think we all belong to political parties? Tell us your track record. Keep tickling yourselves.
Infact I have regreted waisting my time, energy and resources to bring this npp to power huh...you are one of the most U S E L E S S thing i have ever come accross. We women will support her and because of what you the npp's are doing, she is using your ***barred word*** to gain popularity. Go Prof. Jana Naana!!!!!
Why are we destroying our party's chances of winning this election? Already, the first attack by buaben asamoah on this woman has courted so much sympathy for her, and here you come and make another terrible statement that will further make people say we disrespect women. What is wrong with some of our leaders. This statement will rather make a lot of persons support this woman. I am sure because this stoupid statement if this woman walk from bukom to makola more person will wave at her than expected. One thing I can tell you Ghanaians hate is arrogance. Because of attack on this woman it would be easy for her to be marketed and she will win sympathy votes for her party. I remember nana addo was attacked so much by the NDC and that translated into vote, because Ghanaians wanted to show the NDC that attacks on him were unnecessary.
You talk like a baby, you talk like you even did not attended School. It is a lucky you make to get this position, and you mafia work to sack Kwabena Agyapong has make you so. Coro Secretary like you are. You are going to to opposition if you do not know. You also insulted you wife, your mother and your daughters if you do not know.
Completely an infantile statement from a general secretary of a ruling government. Massa, you better come again.This is looow below the belt. Abaaah!
This is childish talk from a block-headed student of Prof. Mills of blessed memory. Who waved at Bawumia when he first was introduced as a running mate to Nana Addo? Siiiiiiiia
