Presidential staffer Shamima Muslim clashed with Ernest Adade, a member of the communications team of the (NPP), over the government's revocation of appointments and recruitments by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government.
The two, during a panel discussion on the Good Morning Ghana programme on Friday, March 7, 2025, could not agree on the use of the words "annul" and "reverse" to describe the revocation.
Shamima Muslim, in her initial comments on the matter, said that the government only reversed appointments made after December 7, 2024.
But Ernest Adade, after reading the revocation notice by the Chief of Staff, , interpreted the presidential staffer's comment to mean the appointments had been cancelled. "All heads of government institutions are hereby requested to take the necessary steps to annul," he read the notice, adding, "I don't know what we all understand by annul." He continued reading the document, "Annul any such appointments or recruitments and submit a comprehensive report on the action taken to this office by 17th February 2025." He asserted that the words of the letter can only mean that the government was either "cancelling" or "annulling" the appointments.
