Malik Basintale, the Deputy National Communications Director of the ruling National Democratic Congress, has taken a swipe at the opposition New Patriotic Party for their comments about the illness of Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
According to him, the leading opposition party are needlessly focusing their attention on the illness of the Vice President at the expense of important parry assignment.
His criticism comes following the announcement that the Vice President will seek additional treatment abroad.
Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has received medical treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) after suffering a sudden illness on Friday, 28th March 2025.
The Presidency’s Communications Directorate released a statement on Sunday, 30th March 2025, confirmed that she attended UGMC on Saturday following the unexpected health incident.
According to the statement, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Member of Parliament and Minister for Government Communications, medical experts have advised that the Vice President seek further treatment abroad to ensure her full recovery.
Politicians and the general public alike, have taken to social media platforms to wish her a speedy recovery.
Additionally, the decision to fly her abroad has been greeted with some level of criticism, especially due to what some NDC members said about politicians seeking medical care abroad.
Responding to the criticism, Malik Basintale, who is also the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency, has urged the NPP to focus its energies on internal party issues, like looking for a viable flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
He called on the NPP to focus on what he described as the planned replacement of Bawumia in 2028 by the Ashanti Caucus.
Taking to his Facebook page, Malik Basintale wrote, “Instead of focusing their energies on the planned replacement of Bawumia in 2028 by the Ashanti caucus, they are busy discussing Prof Jane.
These guys will never learn from their 38%.”
