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.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
