Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has shaded Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia over his "driver's mate" comment.

It may be recalled that the Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) while outlining his vision as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), stated that he was only a “driver’s mate”

“As Vice-President, I am like a driver’s mate. But if, by the Grace of God, you make me President, I will be in the driver's seat with constitutionally mandated authority to pursue my vision and my priorities” he said

However, during her outdooring in Accra on Wednesday, Prof Opoku-Agyemang assured that: “I will share in our collective successes and share responsibility for our setbacks if any. And at the time of reckoning, Your Excellency John Mahama, I will not in advancement of self-serving ambition declare to the whole world that I was only the driver’s mate"
