Bringing Professor Jane Opoku Back is Like Bringing Abedi Pele to Play Blackstars for World Cup - Grassroots Warned Mahama and NDC NEC

 

A grassroots group within the NDC, called Grassroots for Victory, has cautioned the party's NEC and John Dramani Mahama against making the mistake of selecting Jane Opoku Agyeman as his running mate for the upcoming 2024 elections. The group believes that, in her mid-70s, Professor Jane Opoku Agyeman is too old to lead the party's battle against the NPP, who are determined to break the eight-year cycle of alternating power in Ghana. Instead, they suggest she should join the party's elders and make way for a younger running mate who is capable of taking over the party's leadership from John Dramani Mahama in the future. 

The group compared bringing back Professor Jane Opoku Agyeman as a running mate to bringing back football legend Abedi Ayew Pele to play for Ghana's Black Stars in a World Cup tournament.

John Dramani Mahama and the NDC are in the process of selecting a possible running mate for the 2024 elections, with names such as former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, Professor Jane Opoku Agyeman, and a few others being considered. Meanwhile, the NDC General Secretary, Hon. Fifi Kwetey, has issued a statement announcing that deliberations on who will be the party's next running mate will soon begin.
