They however entreated her not to forget about them when eventually the NDC wins power come December 2020 because they believe that just like a mother will never forget about her children in times of need, Prof Opoku-Agyemang will also not forget about them.
The groups made the pledge when the NDC running mate met them at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall at Bolgatanga on Saturday, August 15, 2020 as part of her two-day visit to the Region.
Her visit was to show appreciation to the people of the region and also to get a feedback from them on the critical issues that required urgent attention in the next NDC government.
The groups include the Zongo Community Ladies, the Upper East Region branch of the Ghana National Tailors and Dressmakers Association, Bolgatanga Foodstuff Sellers Association, Sumasum Weavers Association at Bolgatanga, the Regional branch of the Ghana Hairdressers and Beauticians Association, Women for Women Leadership Association at Bolgatanga and the John Mahama(JM) Ladies group.
The Zongo Community Women’s Organizer, Ms Efia Akazorloba, the Women’s Organizer of the Food Stuff Sellers Association, Ms Juliana Akugre and the Vice Chairperson of the Sumasum Weavers Association, Ms Patience Atinga were among some of the women who spoke on behalf of the women’s groups and associations.
