Ghana’s first female Vice President is not just a milestone—it is a national responsibility.
That is the message from Maame Ama Pratt, newly appointed Press Secretary to Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
“When she succeeds, we will be happy because, as Ghanaians, we need a success story to tell,” Maame Ama stated in an interview on Joy Prime monitored by MyNewsGh.
She described her appointment as both an honour and a wake-up call. “There’s work to do. There’s work to do,” she emphasized.
For her, this moment is bigger than politics—it’s about national progress. “It says that as a people, we’ve matured. We are more sophisticated than we were,” she said, adding that many so-called advanced countries have yet to achieve this level of female representation.
But making history is not enough. Maame Ama believes the real work lies in ensuring that Ghana delivers on this promise of inclusive leadership.
“This one is on all of us. We have to make sure that what we lead with, we guide. This is a good thing for Ghana. Oh wow, let’s make her succeed.”
