Private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw, has asserted that the First Lady Lordina Mahama wields more power in the NDC government than the Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.

His remarks follows a call by the former Deputy Director at the Office of the former First Lady, Akosua Manu, on Vice President Opoku-Agyemang earlier on in June, to intervene in the ongoing processes aimed at removing the embattled Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office.
