The Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mr Lord Commey, has laughed off claims that he has been dismissed.
A terse statement making rounds on Whatsapp platforms suggests that the former national organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been sacked.
However, Mr. Commey, believes his detractors are behind such “lies” because he is making it difficult for them to bring him down.
“People say I’m stubborn and yes I’m stubborn because President Akufo-Addo has confidence in me and that’s why he appointed me. And anyone that will frustrate your work to prevent you from achieving your goals must be crushed or else you won’t get there,” he told Accra-based Asempa FM.
“In the performance of your duties you might step on some toes, which is accepted. You can even deliberately step on toes to achieve results and apologise afterwards because we need to get results. If that is why people are badmouthing me then too bad and that is unfortunate, but that will not deter me from doing what I have to do and have been doing in this country’s politics for the past 25 years,” Mr. Commey opined.
He added: “In spite of all the criticism, they also agree I’m good at my job. So please it’s an appeal to all Ghanaians that at this stage of the new change, the assurance is we wouldn’t do anything to disappoint Ghanaians.”
