Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Allotey Jacobs, has said the running mate of the NDC, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang lacks the character and qualities of a true politician.

According to the social commentator, Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang, through her public speaking on political platforms, has shown that she is yet to transition from an academic to a politician.

Commenting on the NDC's campaign launch in Tamale during a discussion on Peace FM, Allotey Jacobs said it was wrong for the running mate to be allowed to speak at the rally.

"One is born with the ability to speak on political platform, that art cannot be learnt. Among the persons who spoke during the NDC campaign launch, the only person who could rap the crowd was former President John Mahama. The rest do not know how to speak on political platforms. The running mate should not have been allowed to speak. I respect that woman a lot but she is not a politician. She is a square peg in a round hole, I am telling you the truth. She portrayed herself as a lecturer on a political platform speaking about morale issues. It was not good," he said in a video shared by Peace FM on YouTube.

The NDC, on Saturday, July 27, 2024, launched its campaign for the 2024 general elections with a resounding call on the citizenry to vote for a change of government on December 7.

The party has said it is poised to wrestle power from the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) to put the country's struggling economy back on the track of development.
