Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has indicated his readiness to contest for the flagbearership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and lead Ghana if party members consider him the best candidate for the role.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Opoku said he remains open to any opportunity politics offers, stressing that his primary motivation has always been service to the country.
“I’m open to any good thing politics gives me. I came into politics with the commitment to serve,” he stated.
The Minister described himself as a problem solver capable of addressing challenges whenever called upon.
“I’m a troubleshooter. Any problems that come my way, I’m able to solve,” he said.
Mr. Opoku noted that if members of the NDC decide he is the right person to lead the party into the 2028 general election and subsequently govern the country, he would be prepared to accept the responsibility.
“So if today the party members believe that I’m the best person to lead the party and the country, I am willing to,” he added.
The Minister, however, stressed that beyond political ambition, his focus remains on making meaningful contributions that will leave a positive legacy.
“The most important thing is that we do something that we will be recognised positively for in history,” he said.
