Tongues are wagging within the Council of State following what insiders are calling a shocking act of betrayal - the last-minute removal of veteran (NDC) stalwart Alhaji Said Sinare from a high-profile ambassadorial appointment.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Alhaji Sinare had been shortlisted among 22 nominees presented to the Council for approval on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
However, to the surprise and dismay of many, his name was abruptly dropped and replaced by that of his cousin, popular actress Kalsoume Sinare - a decision that has left members of the Council and the party base stunned. "It is a painful slap in the face of loyalty," one senior source within the Council remarked. "This is someone who has given decades of committed service to the NDC and sacrificed deeply for the party's survival.
Replacing him with a family member who has not walked the same path is deeply insulting." Alhaji Sinare, who served as Ghana's Ambassador to Egypt and later Saudi Arabia, is widely respected for his tireless work in mobilising support for the NDC, especially within the Zongo communities.
