“I was in the Education Ministry and I complimented his (Mahama’s) efforts so forget about these unhelpful (issues) we are just having distractions.
“There is no controversy [over Mahama’s running mate], the only controversy we need to talk about is the unemployment of our youth.
“That is the controversy that should bother us, we are just being distracted…It should be about all the scandals going on,” she said.
Recounting the tenure of the erstwhile NDC administration, the former Education Minister described Mr Mahama as an individual who cares and has a good heart towards Ghanaians.
She added that the Education Ministry in which she served saw a massive transformation of many polytechnics and other infrastructural projects beneficial to Ghana’s people.
