If Amidu Knew How We Suffered Before Coming Into Power He’d Not Have Behaved The Way He Did – John Boadu Fires

General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) John Boadu has noted that former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu’s attitude has taught them a bitter lesson that it is not in the interest of any political party to appoint an outsider into government.

According to him, if Amidu knew how the NPP toiled before coming into power he would not have behaved the way he did.

Amidu had resigned as Special Prosecutor citing interference from President Akufo-Addo following his Agyapa risk assessment report.

“Truth be told, internally, party members were not happy with this appointment but the President wanted to show to the Ghanaian people that we can go beyond partisanship. What pains me about this issue is that Mr. Amidu has hit the nail in the coffin on the argument that if someone is not your party member and he’s competent you can appoint him into your government for the country to develop,” John Boadu was quoted by kasapa online.

He added: “Do you think with what Mr Amidu has done a government will have the confidence to appoint an outsider? Because when the President calls to have a discussion with the outsider appointee whatever they discussed is put out there in public space. If Amidu was a true party man and knew how we’ve toiled to have power will he have done what he’s done? That is what pains me the most. We wanted to create a situation where so far as you’re competent no matter where you belong, the nation must make use of your asset.”
