Founder and leader of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Akua Donkor has stated that NDC Vice Presidential Candidate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang is bringing trouble to herself by associating with former president John Mahama.
According to her, Naana Agyemang poses no threat to her ambitions to be president however, she risks being soiled with the bad reputation of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) falgbearer.
Speaking to Daddy Fred on Trend Ghana posted on Facebook she said, “I pity the woman he has selected as running mate.”
“She is even bringing trouble to herself. She will be tainted and soiled with the bad deeds of John Mahama and I pity her so much.
“It would have been a different ball game all together if she had been nominated by any other person apart from John Mahama,” Akua Donkor stated.
She added, “I, as a woman, followed him to the Supreme Court to testify for him to win the presidential seat in 2012 and he later opened his mouth to say it was not profitable to choose a woman only for him to turn around to select a woman today.”
She was of the opinion that former president John Mahama only settled for Naana Opoku Agyemang as the last resort after being turned down by others.
“He struggled for a running mate and did not find a suitable candidate. He, therefore, decided to give it to this woman whom he worked with in government.”
“It is not surprising at all to me. But one interesting thing is that he once told a radio station that it would not be profitable to take a woman as a running mate,” she said.
Akua Donkor further claimed, “they asked him whether he would consider a woman as a partner after the death of the then Vice President and he retorted it was not worthy and profitable.”
“It is John Mahama who said so and I responded to him at the time. You can look for the tape and play his voice.”
Speaking on her preparation towards the elections she said, “I will start my campaign after the registration. I went to my home town and they said our own would be done beginning from 27 July.”
She insisted, “Naana Opoku Agyemang is not a threat at all to my presidential ambition. My running mate is Adakabre Frimpong. I am waiting for the registration to be over.”
