The Paramount Queenmother of Anomabo Tradional Area in the Central Region has issued a rallying call to all women across the country to assist in ensuring the Running Mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang becomes the next Vice President of Ghana.
Nana Mbroba Dabo I, said women working together to get Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang elected would be crucial to ensuring they get a voice and representation at the highest level of decision making for the effective protection and development of their welfare.
“It is said that women are their own enemies, but let us prove that perception wrong,” she said.
The Queenmother made the call when Prof Opoku-Agyemang paid a courtesy visit on the Anomabo Traditional Council today as part of her campaign tour of the region.
According to Nana Dabo, Prof Opoku-Agyemang is not just a woman but a highly qualified and distinguished personality whose elevation of the office of the Vice President would be an immense honour to the female fraternity in Ghana and beyond.
She said “we need to support our own to the top,” and encouraged all queenmothers to support the call for action.
“We have to put our political affiliations aside and do what is right,” she added.
The Paramount Queenmother of Anomabo Tradional Area prayed for God’s blessings for Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang and the NDC’s victory, and expressed confidence in the ability of the distinguished academic to promote the interests of women when she becomes Vice President.
Nana Owiansah V, Guantuahene of Anomabo who spoke on behalf of the Paramount Chief of the Area, also declared the Council’s support for the NDC, describing the party’s performance record in the area as impressive.
He said projects such as the Fisheries College, police station and hospital that were started by the previous NDC administration, but abandoned by the present government would seriously influence the decision of voters in the area to assist the NDC to return to power.
“We shall surely remember President Mahama and the NDC on December 7 for their good work. We shall also be in the Flagstaff House next year by this time to thank him for all the support advanced to our Council and the people of Anomabo,” he said.
For her part, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, expressed appreciation to the Council for the support, and indicated that the next NDC administration would avail itself for wise counsel from the chiefs.
She assured the Council of the NDC’s commitment to complete all projects it started in the area as well as do more for the benefit of the people, indicating that the NDC does not engage in marginalization in the distribution of national resources.
After the meeting with the Council, the Running Mate interacted with fishermen and fishmongers at the Anomabo landing site where she assured them of better incentives for their fishing business when the NDC returns to power.
