Don’t use insults in your campaign – Naana Opoku-Agyemang advises Ahafo NDC Women’s Wing
2020 Running mate to John Mahama, Prof Naana Opoku Agyemang has advised the Party’s Women’s Wing in Ahafo Region to embark on a campaign devoid of insults and disrespect as the party implements measures to win the 2024 elections.
Prof. Naana Opoku Agyemang gave the advice at Goaso during the Ahafo Regional NDC Women’s Wing Conference.
She explained that per her research, any political party which embarks on a campaign of insults and disrespect finds it extremely difficult to win power.
The Professor urged women campaigning in the NDC to refrain from such acts.
According to her, insults and disrespect do not play any significant role in winning power and as such, members must take note and do the needful to see the power unseat NPP.
“The respect shown me means a lot to me and we should accord one another with this same respect. Looking back at our history as a nation, respect forms an important part of us and so there’s a lot of work to be done,” she explained.
The Ahafo Regional Women’s Organiser for NDC, Charity Gardiner on her part said the NDC has lined – up a series of trainings to ensure that its members especially women get the best of ideas in politics.
“The number of women in politics is quite few even in the parliament. We are empowering and encouraging our women so that we will have a lot of them participating in elections from assembly to parliamentary henceforth. Training of this nature is what I am undertaking to empower my women in my region.”
Meanwhile, NDC Women’s Organiser, Dr. Louisa Hannah Bissiw also lamented on how the NPP government has failed in all aspects.
According to her, the economic situation has put women in a fix adding that students are also not benefitting from the school feeding programme.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.
