Founding president and CEO of Imani Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has praised Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang for her speech delivered on April 24, 2024, in Accra.
The speech, presented at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), was described by Cudjoe as presidential and inspiring.
The occasion marked the official announcement of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, the former education minister, as the running mate to John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
“What a speech! Presidential and uplifting!” Cudjoe posted on Facebook hours after the speech, he added: “Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang says she will never consider herself a “driver’s mate”. Interesting days ahead.”
The highly attended event was graced by prominent figures from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), including former President Mahama himself, along with the party’s National Chairman and General Secretary.
As widely anticipated, Naana Jane was officially named as Mahama’s running mate for the upcoming polls, marking their second consecutive partnership following their unsuccessful 2020 bid.
During her speech, she passionately addressed NDC supporters, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming power from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Naana Jane dedicated significant time to delivering politically charged statements aimed at highlighting the government’s alleged mismanagement of affairs since 2017.
