Election 2024: Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang Visits Wa Market to Engage Traders

Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, running mate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on traders in the Upper West Region to support the party’s flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming elections.

She believes that Mahama and the NDC are the best choice for traders, promising to improve their economic situation.

Speaking in Wa, during her campaign visit to the market on the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang received a warm welcome from the traders.

She expressed concern over the high cost of food and assured the traders, mainly women, that Mahama understands their struggles and will boost their businesses if elected.

Recalling past achievements, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang highlighted that the NDC government, under Mahama, had built and expanded the Wa market to support women traders.

She lamented the current low sales and rising food prices reported by the traders.

Rafiatu Fuseini, an onion seller, discussed how the current economy is affecting their business and families.

Haruna Hamidu, a chief butcher, emphasized the need for a change in government, supporting the return of Mahama’s administration.

Nafisah Sombo, another trader, highlighted the drastic increase in prices of essential items like tomatoes and Maggi cubes since Mahama’s last term, urging for his return to ease their burdens.
