The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has described Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as a strong and indisputable candidate to become Ghana’s first female President.
His endorsement follows recent remarks made during the Vice President’s courtesy visit to the Ministry of Education, where he offered prayers for her well-being and expressed hope that she may one day be elevated to the office of the President.
Speaking at the Ghana Teacher Prize event, held at the University of Health and Allied Sciences on Sunday October 5, Iddrisu reiterated his confidence in the Vice President’s leadership abilities, stating that she is well-qualified to lead the nation.
“There were many of you who sought to give it your own interpretation. Prof Jane, I am reminding them that my mother thought me that sometimes silence is golden because silence cannot be interpreted but this one I wanted an interpretation because a vice president irrefutably is a presumption that she can assume the high office of president, irrefutably,” he stated.
