You’re not humble – Jane Naana slammed over her posture before Asantehemaa
Running mate to the NDC flagbearer – John Dramani Mahama, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, is not humble, this is according to an outspoken member of the ruling NPP, P.K. Sarpong.
Pictures of Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and Prof Opoku-Agyemang after the two paid courtesy calls on the Asantehemaa [Queen of Ashanti], Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, have gone viral on social media.
Both the veep and Prof Agyemang visited the queen for her blessings prior to their campaign tours of the Ashanti Region ahead of the December 7 general elections.
The Asantehemaa asked the blessings of the Lord upon the lives of the two and their entourages and also prayed for peace and calm in this year’s election.
In the Asantehemaa’s palace, Dr. Buwumia knelt before Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom to receive her blessings.
Prof Naana Jane was, however spotted in a versatile posture while also receiving the Queen’s blessings.
But commenting on the two postures, Patrick Kwarteng Sarpong slammed the former Education Minister, remarking that her “posture while receiving her blessings is not anything to write home about.”
According to him, unlike Naana Jane, Dr. Bawumia showed “greater level of reverence in front of the Asantehemaa”.
“The Veep is humble whereas the running mate is not.”, P.K’s position stated.
Read his full assessment below:
Observe the two scenarios in the accompanying image.
Vice President Bawumia kneels down for his blessings from the Asantehemaa.
Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s posture while receiving her blessings is not anything to write home about.
The Vice President shows a greater level of reverence in front of the Asantehemaa and the one who is angling to become Veep is not exhibiting same traits.
The Veep is humble whereas the running mate is not.

Do we have to criticize everything in this country?
A child destined to die does not matter the number of talisman around the waist or neck. ndc is a cursed trio by formation
Let’s forget these tribal acts of hypocrisy!
Not everybody is an Ashanti and of that tribe to be bowing to a tribal matriarch or King. No! They owe the Queen or Queenmother no sheep or goat or traditional acts of obedience.
Would a visiting British executive expected to do the same?
I think normal bowing a little as the NDC VP Prof. Opoku Agyeman did is just fine and if Dr. Bawumia wanted to kneel down and kiss her feet, that is fine also.
We Ghanaians must stop these acts of hypocrisy associated with our traditions and focus on plans to manage our towns and districts on our own under local elected leadership with the Royal family member (King or Chief as Co-equal non-elected member). They should work the maths of collecting fair taxes to clean up the towns and districts and providing needed water and other service needs, as opposed to waiting on these national leaders who only come around during elections! It is sheer hypocrisy!
