President John Mahama has expressed relief at the return of Vice President Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, describing her return as both reassuring and politically significant.
According to him, the Vice President's absence left a significant gap in the administration, admitting that even a brief official trip to neighbouring Togo sparked impeachment threats.
President Mahama said this on Thursday, May 22, during his welcome message to the Vice President back to Ghana following a weeks-long medical leave abroad.
This is his first official comment regarding the criticisms of the opposition NPP about the gap that was left when the President, his Vice and the Speaker of Parliament were all out of the country without getting a Chief Justice to act as President as the Constitution demands.
