Patricia Boakye, the Women Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the United Kingdom, has declared that she would prefer a compassionate man over a woman lacking empathy for women and children.
This statement is a rebuttal to the opposition’s claim that the NPP does not support women, especially in light of the NDC’s choice of a female running mate for John Mahama in the upcoming Presidential election.
Patricia Boakye, also known as Daakyehemaa, criticized Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, alleging that during her tenure as Education Minister, she canceled vital allowances for teacher trainees and nurses.
Daakyehemaa also recounted an incident where Professor Opoku-Agyemang reprimanded a headmistress for requesting basic supplies only after the Second Lady’s visit.
In a recent interview, Daakyehemaa stated that Professor Opoku-Agyemang’s record makes her an unsuitable candidate for a running mate.
She highlighted Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s achievements, such as the introduction of the free Senior High School policy, and asserted that he is a superior choice compared to Prof. Opoku-Agyemang.
