Former Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, expresses concern over what he perceives as unfair treatment by the party over the years.
Despite his dedicated efforts to ensure the election of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as president, Boahen feels neglected by the party’s leadership, which he finds both shocking and worrying.
In an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, Boahen voiced his frustrations, particularly noting the recent elevation of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the party’s flagbearer, despite what he views as his own overlooked contributions.
“If he [Dr. Bawumia] wants me on his team, that is okay, but if he doesn’t, I will keep doing my best for the party. I have done my best for this party from 2016 till date, but if I am not being recognised, that’s okay,” he said.
Adding that, “From 2017 till date, I have not been appointed by this government on any board. I am human, and this kind of situation can be painful and worrying. At least they should appoint me to clean toilets.”
