In a statement issued by Mould Iddrisu, who is also a former Education Minister she said the attack was unfortunate.

“Professor Opoku-Agyeman is a distinguished and accomplished academic who rose to become vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Coast,” she wrote.
“Her achievements in the arena of Education are legendary. It is unfortunate that women have to be subjected to such abuse in the discharge of their official duties. I am calling on the Hon minister Dr Opoku Prempeh, on behalf of the women in Ghana, especially Women in Politics to withdraw and apologize for making such derogatory comments about a distinguished woman professional who is a known role model globally,” she added.
In an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM, the Manhyia South MP called his predecessor a “disgrace” and “ignorant” for leaving debts at the ministry while she served as a minister under the Mahama government.
However, Mould Iddrisu said Dr Opoku Prempeh should rather focus on “ensuring and delivering an effective implementation of the Free SHS programme which has been hit with several challenges with the tendency of eroding gains chalked in the educational sector. The Minister of Education under the current circumstances must be seen to be the busiest appointee, not to waste precious time in insulting his senior in the name of politics.”
