Rachel Appoh turns her back on former boss Oye Lithur, roots for Ramadan in NDC Primaries

A Former Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Rachel Appoh, has thrown her weight behind Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, the gentleman contesting her former boss, Nana Oye Lithur, for the parliamentary aspirant slot of the opposition NDC in the Adentan constituency.

According to Rachel Appoh, Mr Ramadan will be a far better candidate for the NDC and will stand a better chance of winning the seat from the NPP’s Yaw Buaben Asamoah.

“I have known Ramadan for a very long while, even before I became a minister, so I will choose him for loyalty sake and also because I know he can do the job,” she said.

According to her, though Nana Oye Lithur had the opportunity to help the people of Adenta while she served as a Minister in the erstwhile Mahama government she refused to do so.

“She had a beautiful opportunity to help the people of Adenta, particularly the women. Someone would say I am campaigning for Ramadan but that’s the truth, how many Adenta women did she help?” She quizzed.

The 2020 parliamentary elections will be very difficult for the NDC in the Adenta Constituency according to her, if Nana Oye Lithur should represent the party.

Describing how devoted she is towards seeing John Mahama in the Flagstaff House come January 2021, the former Minister said, the analysis was clear enough to suggest there was no way Nana Oye Lithur could win the Adentan seat in the 2020 general elections for the NDC.

“Let me say it here, I know by now she has respected Sena and I, because she is having a feel of how it is to go into an election, I have done student politics, mainstream politics and I know how it is, she hasn’t even been to an assembly election” she said.
