Dr Okoe Boye Backs NDC’s Yaw Boateng Gyan On NDC Flagbearership Race

Former Deputy Health Minister of Health, Bernard Okoe Boye, has backed some comments made by Yaw Boateng Gyan.

Former National Organizer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Boateng Gyan while debunking rumors that he is the campaign manager for former Finance Minister, Dr Kwabena Duffuor who allegedly wants to be the party's flagbearer in 2024, said: “at this point in NDC, we need a leader who can sit down and think of good governance and proper politics. Governance is not about running a race and playing football, but it is about someone who can sit down and be able to use his brain and use the youngsters around him to run an errand for him. They should stop playing the age card in politics because it will not help us. If Dr Duffuor opens his mouth to say he will contest, I will be the first person to support him”.

Reacting to this during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', he said: "it's better to go for a small body with brains than a big body with no brains".

"I have come to the realization that it is not the big body that runs a country; it's the big brain. if you get a short person with big brains then you have an advantage compared to a tall person with no brains . . . you always have to put brain before body because only the brain can bring you the change you desire," he said.
