“PROFESSORSHIP IS NOT POLITICS” - JOHN BOADU JABS

-

NPP General Secretary, John Boadu thinks Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang is not a popular figure.

According to him, been a professor does not guarantee one the ticket to become a successful politician.

“Professorship is different from politics”, John Boadu stressed.

Former President John Mahama on Monday announced the former Education Minister and University of Cape Coast’s first female Vice-Chancellor as his running mate.

The NPP thinks she is bringing nothing new but the NDC disagrees.

Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu is reported to have said that Mahama should have settled on a different person.

Speaking to this, the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party, John Boadu speaking in an interview with the media today said it will take a long time before she adjusts herself to the political terrain and to gain some popularity.

"Take her to Bukom or let her walk from Bukom to Makola and count the number of people who will wave . . . take her anywhere . . . that's not to say women are not qualified or capable," he told the press.

The NPP scribe added that, “Professorship is different from Politics”. Hence Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang is unfit to face and join the political rally in Ghana

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...

According to him, “Yes, the difficulties are there, and I want to minimize the difficulties that are affecting the lives of ordinary people in a very negative way.
