The Deputy Minority leader,\u00a0James Klutse Avedzi has insisted that President Akufo-Addo cannot dismiss under-pressure High Commissioner to South Africa, George Ayisi Boateng<\/strong><\/span><\/a> over the latter\u2019s recent perceived shameful, irresponsible and\u00a0divisive comments<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n According to him, this is because Akufo-Addo has also demonstrated his commitment to prioritizing the needs of loyalists of his New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”pqsuWlTu3dE9beU6jOWmUqIFk9MBt39y”]Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, Mr. Avedzi expressed regret at the High Commissioner\u2019s recent comments, saying that it appeared he was only taking a cue from his boss, President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n Mr. Ayisi Boateng whilst addressing some party youth at the Kumasi Technical University over the weekend, said he has resolved to prioritize members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in his dealings.<\/p>\n He said although he was to treat all Ghanaians fairly, he believes NPP members are more Ghanaian than others.<\/p>\n \u201cThis government is doing its best to create job opportunities and me for instance, I told my people over there [that], it is because of NPP that I\u2019m here, so the NPP man is my priority. I told them when NDC was in power it was Kwesi Ahwoi who was there, now we are in power, so Ayisi-Boateng is here with you. My topmost priority is the problems of an NPP person before any other Ghanaian, take it or leave it.\u201d<\/p>\n
