The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has given thanks to God for her new feat.

She was joined by party executives and well wishers at a thanksgiving ceremony in Accra following her nomination as the first woman running mate of the major opposition party.

The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev. Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo, in his sermon urged Prof. Opoku-Agyemang to use her good office as a change agent in Ghana’s politics.

Most Rev. Dr. Boafo explained that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang as a Christian should play an exemplary leadership role that will bring the needed change the country desires.

“You are coming in at a time when our politics is bedeviled with all kinds of negative things. As a Christian for which we believe that Christians should get into politics, you stand for integrity. You stand for the truth, you will stand against all the politics of insults and the politics of violence,” he said.

He added: “Someone has said violence means that you have come to the end of your creative activity. Don’t go that way. Call for peace, ask for peace because it is God in whose presence you sit and the God you are acknowledging says He is peace and his peace he gives to his people.”
