Sack Freddie Blay for defending Ayisi Boateng – Alhaji Sani
The Aspiring Ashanti Regional Chairman for the
opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC)
Alhaji Mohammed Sani has expressed disappointment
in the Acting chairman of the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) Freddie Blay for supporting the comments
made by Ghana’s High Commissioner to South
Africa Ayisi Boateng.

He said he least expected Mr Blay to support Mr
Ayisi Boateng’s divisive comments.

Alhaji Sani suggested to NPP leadership to sack
the Acting Chairman of the party saying he
doesn’t deserve to hold such a reputable
position.

He indicated that the chairmanship position is not
for ‘loose talkers’ like Freddie Blay saying
it was needless on the part of Mr Blay to hold
brief for Mr Ayisi Boateng.

Mr Ayisi Boateng interacting with the student
group of NPP-TESCON said NPP supporters are his
topmost priority and that he will place them ahead
of any other Ghanaian.#

Mr Blay openly supported the High Commissioner’s
comment arguing that NPP supporters should be
taking care of before other Ghanaians.

But speaking with Kwame Adinkrah on Abusua Nkommo,
Alhaji Sani said the High Commissioner caused
political earthquake with his comments saying he
would have been sacked within 24-hours if it were
to be parts of Europe.

He said Ghanaians would have turned a blind eye if
Freddie Blay were to be one of the young NPP
politicians.

‘…My worry is when Ayisi Boateng refused to
accept his mistake. Civil Society Organisations
(CSOs) and some NPP members have condemned his
comments whilst others have backed him…. But one
person whose comments shocked me was Acting
National Chairman of NPP Freddie Blay who
supported Ayisi Boateng. How can a person of your
caliber be talking like this. What kind of a
leader is this?.

‘I’m highly disappointed in Freddie Blay, when
the President Akufo-Addo, Minister of Foreign
Affairs Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey were condemning
him, but Freddie Blay was supporting him, how. How
can a leader of a party behave this way,’ he
asked.

Ghanaians wouldn’t have criticised Ayisi Boateng
if he had apologised over his comments when his
attention was drawn to it.

The former President John Dramani Mahama has
stated that the High Commissioner would have been
sacked immediately if he were to be in power.
