Winneba: Prof Opoku-Agyemang was not abandoned by market women – Campaign team

The Campaign Team of Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has refuted claims that she was abandoned by market women at Winneba.

This follows reports suggesting that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang had fled from the Winneba market.

In a statement released on Monday, the team stated, “The publication is false, baseless, and a figment of the fertile imagination of its author.”

“For the records, Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyemang on Friday had a very successful campaign tour of Winneba in the Effutu constituency. She visited market women in their shops and stalls at the Winneba market, and interacted with shoppers and lorry drivers, amongst others, amidst cheers and encouragement from the public.

“She also drove through some principal streets of Winneba and was given a rousing welcome.”

The team said that at the Winneba Lorry Station, Prof Opoku-Agyemang addressed a well-attended rally where she highlighted the benefits of the NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour Economy policy as well as supporting about one million women in business through the upcoming Women’s Development Bank initiative.

“At no point was the Member of Parliament for Effutu present at the same place and time that Prof Opoku-Agyemang was at the Winneba market,” it added.

The Campaign team has therefore urged Ghanaians to disregard such claims.
