The National Democratic Congress’ running mate, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has responded to criticisms over her age.
The former education minister says she is proud of her age and experience.
She was responding to former Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, who questioned her suitability for candidature based on her age.
Speaking in an engagement with female media professionals in Accra, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang confidently stated that she is proud of her age.
“Let everybody understand that I’m very proud of every minute God has given me and if he gives me more, I’ll be more grateful. But my life is in His hands not anybody’s hands. I don’t consider my age as a nuisance, I consider it as a blessing, so that is it.
“What else is there to say? Is that all they could say? Did they also say that I was corrupt? Why couldn’t they say that I was insulting people?”
“You see, a lot of these things we must see as unnecessary and unuseful distractions. Is that all they can say? They should find other forms. What about their own selves? I never said I was an angel but I don’t think I’ve killed anybody’s child.
“So I’m happy with myself, I’m proud of how far God has brought me and I believe God will take everybody much further.”
