Mahama Sacked Me Just 2 Days After Mills’ Death – Koku Anyidoho Recounts Painful Experience

In a revealing and emotional interview on “Good Evening Ghana” with Paul Adom Otchere, former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, recounted the series of events that led to the end of his professional relationship with NDC Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama. This is the first time Anyidoho has publicly shared the deeply personal and painful circumstances surrounding the break.

The turning point came two days after the death of President John Evans Atta Mills, a leader Anyidoho served with unwavering loyalty. Anyidoho recalled receiving a phone call from Dr. Omane Boamah, who delivered the message that the newly sworn-in President, John Mahama, had decided he could no longer work with him at the seat of government. The news came as a devastating blow to Anyidoho, who had been a close confidant to the late President Mills, viewing him as a paternal figure.

The pain of the moment was palpable as Anyidoho described his reaction. In near tears, he shared how he sought confirmation from Mr. Ato Ahwoi, a senior member of the NDC. When Ahwoi confirmed the decision, Anyidoho was overwhelmed with sorrow, feeling a profound sense of betrayal and loss.

Anyidoho’s emotional recount underscores the complexities and often harsh realities of political dynamics, particularly in times of leadership transitions.

This probably also accounts for the recent acrimony between Mr. Anyidoho and the party he has served for the better part of his life.
