Vice Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has reacted to claims by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that she has no economic background and therefore cannot be a Vice President.
Speaking to Nana Aba Anamoah on GHOne TV, she noted that she does not need to be an economic wizard to get in the Vice Presidential position.
According to her, she may be a literature expert, however, she knows enough about economy and can perfectly execute her role as leader of the economic management team if the NDC wins the December 2020 polls.
“In their own party (NPP) they’ve had the late Vice President Aliu Mahama, was there a comment on him? Was he an economist? The vice president will chair the Security Council, must I be a security expert? So what are they talking about? What is the economy, how did I run the University of Cape Coast if I didn’t know one plus one? I am in literature and I am proud to be in literature. I will never pretend to know everything even in literature. I am not an economist, but I know the economy,” she stated.
