He added that foot soldiers are very critical in a party’s success and any appointee who also disregards them (foot soldiers) does not mean the party well. “Our appointees shouldn’t lord their positions over foot soldiers. This is a critical time and we need the support of everyone”.
Speaking in an interview on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show with Don Kwabena Prah, he said, “The ministers and other appointees should be humble. They should only conduct themselves in a manner that will support us in retaining power. Breaking the 8 is not that simple and I hope all appointees will deliver”.
