His comment follows President Mahama's appointment of Nana Yaa Jantuah, a leading member of the Convention People's Party, as a Presidential staffer.
In an interview with Joy News,
He added that if an appointment as ambassador were offered to him, he would turn it down, stating that he lacks the diplomatic acumen for the role. He emphasized that he is someone who speaks his mind on issues and does not have the temperament for the job.
"It would be a bad idea to appoint me as an ambassador; I am not sure I have the diplomatic skills. I speak my mind on issues, so it would be a mistake to appoint
He continued, "Africa must be seen working to unite its front, not dividing it. If you have leaders like Faure Gnassingbé continuously leading their people, claiming they are democratic while excluding countries that have freed themselves from foreign control, it doesn’t make sense. If you appoint me as an ambassador, I might speak against the continued inclusion of Faure Gnassingbé and Togo in ECOWAS, especially while Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso are excluded."
