Private legal practitioner and radio show host on Wontumi Radio, Maurice Ampaw, has slammed the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) for allegedly attempting to sideline Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
According to him, the NDC only used her to secure political power and now wants to make her ineffective.
Speaking on his show on Monday, March 31, 2025, the controversial lawyer accused the NDC of planning to send the Vice President abroad while someone else performs her role.
“I pray that Vice President Jane Opoku-Agyemang will recover. We don’t want any dark clouds hovering around the presidency. We don’t want anyone scheming to take the woman’s place. In any case, we don’t see how effective her position as Vice President is. You could see that the woman was used for the elections. She is old and sick, but because of political power, she was going all over the place campaigning. You could see that she was visibly tired during the campaign, but they used her to secure power, and now they are dumping her. You can see that since she became the Vice President, she has not been effective. She is always excluded from trips, her wardrobe is not the best and not well-packaged. Her office has been abandoned, and when you see her, one cannot even feel that she is the Vice President.”
He added, “Today, they want to lift her from Ghana and dump her abroad because someone has taken her position. Even while she is alive, someone else is performing the role of Vice President. It is our prayer that God will heal her of any sickness so that she will live and enjoy the fruit of her labor. Whoever is behind this sickness, we pray and send it back to the sender because the woman is an innocent soul.”
On Sunday, March 30, 2025, the Presidency’s Communications Directorate released a statement confirming that the Vice President attended the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) on Saturday following an unexpected health incident.
According to the statement, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Member of Parliament and Minister for Government Communications, medical experts have advised that the Vice President seek further treatment abroad to ensure her full recovery.
“We extend our best wishes to the Vice President for a speedy recovery,” the statement concluded.
