Former National Treasurer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gifty Ama Asantewaa Ayeh says she ready to head the party’s 2016 campaign as flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo prepares to name as Campaign Manager.

According to her, women in the NPP are tied of playing second fiddle when it comes to leadership position in the party. Daavi Ama as she affectionately called disclosed this on Asempa FM Wednesday.

Nana Akufo-Addo, is expected to name his Campaign Manager next week ahead of the 2016 election but many have tipped Mr Mac Manu to take up the position.

Mr. Mac Manu has been named together with two other top party members like Dan Botwe, Stephen Ntim for the position.

But Daavi Ama believes women in the NPP are being short changed when it such sensitive leadership positions.

Though she has no objections to the names that has come up, she maintains that women must also be given the opportunity. Daavi Ama noted that there are many competent, affable and eloquent women in the NPP who can head the party’s campaign much better than the men and bring victory.

“NPP women like me are go-getters so we cannot continue to play a second fiddle. Nana Addo must give us a chance” she stressed. The former National Treasurer added if for nothing at all, the deputy Campaign Manager position should be given to a woman.

Daavi Ama also advised Nana Akufo-Addo to appoint a people-centered person hungry for power as Campaign Manager.
