Asante"},"content":{"rendered":"
Retired diplomat and once secretary to Dr.\u00a0Kwame Nkrumah, K.B. Asante, has said the pledge by Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to South Africa, George Ayisi Boateng, to prioritize the welfare of New Patriotic Party members\u00a0in his dealings “doesn’t make sense”.<\/p>\n
Comments like that put the\u00a0country on the verge of \u201crot\u201d, he asserted on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”qPzSitbqxMyPOgWYeVhlgkm1t7ufRA0s”]Mr. Asante stated that, \u201cno Ghanaian is more Ghanaian than another. We are all Ghanaians\u2026 all that the\u00a0High\u00a0Commissioner is saying is that, with all due respect, it doesn\u2019t make sense. He is there for all Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n The diplomat, while addressing members of the Tertiary Students\u2019 Confederacy Network\u00a0 (TESCON) in the Ashanti Region over the weekend, said his\u00a0first priority<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0is to members of the party, and that if he had his own way, members of TESCON will be prioritized for various jobs.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”WOwRPmSAZ1zF4NFSXGfccfB4EnzotbRS”]Mr. Boateng said he considers NPP members as more Ghanaian than\u00a0others.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026this 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 he said.<\/p>\n
