The National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress Sammy Gyamfi has described NPP allegation against the newly elected vice President for National Democratic Congress as baseless.
In a press conference at the NDC Head Office, Sammy Gyamfi said that apart from the sexist and baseless comments of Yaw Baubeng Asamoah, the similarly disgraceful comment against Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang by the majority leader in parliament
According to him, assertion that Professor Naana Jane Opoku- Agyemang is not capable of being the President of the Republic, is the most backward and misogynistic statement by a personality occupying a high office who should know better
“Comments such as these are reminiscent of other similarly shameful statements by the President Akufo-Addo when he suggested that Ghanaian women are not dynamic enough at a conference in Canada. The worst part of this embarrassment was that he made the comment at an international women's event of all places where he was scolded and schooled almost immediately by a fellow panelist on stage” he said.
He stated that such sexist comments have unfortunately but predictable come to define Akufo-Addo and his party the NPP.
He added, It is very sad to see a political party in the 21st century deeply rooted in the 16th century's primitive views on women.
“But to any woman in Ghana, do not lose courage. Look at accomplished role model Prof. Naana Jane Opuku-Agyemang and be encouraged and inspired to pursue your dreams; you can grow up to become anything you want to be, even the President and and President of our nation Ghana” he said.
He concluded by saying that they have heard other female voices from the NPP talking about virtue.
