A former Attorney General and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nii Ayikoi Otoo has said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should be listening to the concerns raised about his foreign travels if he wants to hand over power to a government of the NPP after the 2024 elections.
Mr Ayikoi Otoo who is a former Ghana’s High Commissioner to Canada during President Akufo-Addo’s first term believes that the president would not act in ways that would jeopardize the chances of the NPP in the next elections.
Speaking in an interview with the media in Accra, he said “Presidential travels are top-secret matters and therefore, they do not think it should be handled by the public or what people are calling transparency, the president’s security is very important.
“It is because of the security aspects that is why the presidential jet is run and handled by the Military. It is a policy matter, it is a security matter.”
He added “He is listening and he keeps saying he would love to hand over power to an NPP government. I don’t think that he will wish to do things that will rather jeopardize that opportunity, so he should be listening. I am sure within the shortest possible time we should find a solution to this problem that has to be tackled.
“If you endanger your future government because he is doing his second term which means constitutionally, he can’t run anymore, and you want to hand over they will say because of these things that the President did we will not give you the opportunity, then your wish to hand over to an NPP government will fizzle out.”
