Former Central Regional Chair of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Allotey Jacobs has indicated that it’ll take about thirteen years and over before the country can be ripe to have a woman as leader.
Speaking in an interview with Happy 98.9 FM’s Sefah-Danquah on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show, he noted that females on some news portals have created a very bad perception about Ghanaian women, which has made it difficult for society to accept them in key leadership positions such as the presidency.
“Ghana is not ripe for a woman leader. It’ll be somewhere in 2034 or something before the country will be ready to accept a female leader. Look at social media reportage on female celebrities. Look at what they churn out about our celebrities and you think that appeases people and motivates them to put women in positions of power?” he was quoted by etvghana.
