A leading figure of the (NPP) has responded to widespread claims labeling him as a "prime minister" under the previous NPP-led government.
According to him, he never held any position in the previous government, nor was he appointed to any role, contrary to public speculation. "The last time I checked, our constitution was clear that we have a president, a vice president, and Members of Parliament.
I think it actually started because I believe in 2017, I mean if you remember all the speculation, Gabby is going to go to this ministry, all manner of titles were given to me including what, chief of staff, cabinet minister and eventually, Akufo-Addo gave me nothing, not even a board member, not even an assembly member. "Government can appoint a few people to some assemblies, but he gave me nothing.
You know, so I think Ghanaians decided to give me a title because they couldn't believe that Akufo-Addo could be so mean to me.
