<\/p>\nThe People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) has said it supports the appointment of the party\u2019s Flagbearer, Dr. Edward Mahama as Ambassador-at-large by the NPP government.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”4UIcwNgNNEwpcaVn6yiZAfBP7Vn7v7qY”]This is despite opposition by senior members of the PNC over the appointment.<\/p>\n
Dr. Edward Mahama, a five time Flagbearer of the PNC was named Ambassador-at-Large by President Akufo-Addo a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
However, some officials of the party, including National Chairman, Bernard Mornah expressed their reservations about the appointment, suggesting that it would limit his objectivity on national issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bernard Mornah also stated that Dr. Mahama had violated his own principles, having reportedly opposed the appointments of other party members by previous governments, a claim the former flagbearer had categorically denied.<\/p>\n
But the party generally seems to be taking a different stance on the development, as it has congratulated Mr. Mahama for the appointment.<\/p>\n
A statement signed by Director of Communications and Spokesperson for the PNC, Emmanuel Wison said: \u201cNEC congratulates and supports H. E. Dr. Edward N Mahama on his appointment as Ambassador at Large, by the President of the Republic of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement also confirmed the suspension of Atik Mohammed\u2019s suspension, adding that \u00a0“his deputy, Mr. Jacob Amoako should take over.”<\/p>\n
