We have no social contract with presidential spouses...
The constitution or Ghanaians are not against women and if women assume the position of a president, they shall enjoy all benefits due them.
Our current constitutional structure does not pose any impediment on the way of women.
Women must muster the courage to contest positions that would earn them all the privileges...

Ghanaians deserve better.
Serve us with honesty as you chiefly propound in opposition.
If presidents cannot take care of their spouses albeit all the opportunities before them, they have no business running for office.
