An aspiring parliamentary candidate for the opposition NDC in the fanteakwa South constituency in the eastern region, Emmanuel Opare – Djan, who doubles as the managing editor for the Daily Democrat Newspaper and a national communication team member for the party has waded into the media comparison between Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and the vice president and running mate of NPP, Alhaji Dr Mahamud Bawumia and has asked that Ghanaians should stop comparing the duo.
According to him, the vice president does not come anywhere close to the credentials of Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang and therefore does not command a comparison.
In a studio discussion on Bekyerem, a political show on Radio 1,( a media establishment in the eastern region,) the communicator cum aspiring parliamentary candidate revealed to the host, Nana Kwabena Addo that if the vice president is the yardstick for selecting a running mate then the party has failed.
He explained further that H.E. Dr Bawumia has failed as a vice president especially in handling the economy as an economist and therefore can not see any reason why the his credibility must be a yardstick for them to appoint a running mate.

“Don’t go there. Why should i compare Prof Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang to Dr Bawumia? One who has failed totally as a vice president and has been sidelined by the finance minister, Ken Ofori Atta. He has totally failed so if Bawumia is the yardstick for picking our running mate then we have also failed.” – Opare-Djan.
Morever, Opare-Djan said the promises of Dr Bawumia prior to 2016 election made Ghanaians believe in him but his woeful performance has revealed that he is no more a contest for NDC. He maintained that former president Mahama alone is bigger than Nana Addo and Bawumia put together.
Emmanuel Opare-Djan argued that this years election would be a contest between performance and utilisation of the country’s natural resources.
