Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang Has Done Well For Herself, But . . . - Dr. Amoako Baah

Dr Richard Amoako Baah, a Political Scientist has waded into the ongoing discussions about John Mahama's Running Mate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang.

John Mahama’s announcement of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has generated intense criticism by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who has raised doubt over her credibility and integrity.

However, the NDC disagrees.

At a press conference led by Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC described the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast as "a responsible and caring mother of three and a loving grandmother".

Speaking to Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Neat FM's Me Man Nti programme, Dr Amoako Baah said even though the woman has made a name for herself; politics is not about names or titles.

"When she was the Minister of Education I was not impressed . . . I was disappointed she advocated for the Twi policy (using local language to teach kids) . . . the woman has done well for herself but that is not what we are talking about, we are talking about someone who can bring a change,” he said.

 " . . I will commend him (John Mahama) for choosing a woman, but as she has been selected and given that opportunity, she has to perform,” he added.
