Alhaji Masawudu Osman, the 3rd Vice Chairperson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has alleged that most of the appointees in the erstwhile government of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo were his enemies.
According to him, these appointees made significant contributions to the downfall of the Akufo-Addo administration.
Speaking in an interview on Sompa TV, which was later shared on social media, Masawudu stated that God would judge such appointees for their actions.
He lamented that after the president offered them appointments, many abandoned the party’s grassroots members who worked tirelessly to bring the NPP to power. This neglect, he said, played a significant role in the party’s loss of support.
“I had the mentality that human beings are bad and there was no way reshuffling in Akufo-Addo’s government could have made any better impact,” he stressed.
“When we were elected as national officers… those that Akufo-Addo gave them better appointment, like at COCOBOD or as CEO of any company, you shouldn’t expect Akufo-Addo to come and tell you to support the party members who fought to bring the NPP to power,” he added.

Masawudu further alleged that many of the president’s appointees did not truly support him.
“For me, I see that many of the people Akufo-Addo appointed were his enemies; they hated him…and the God of Akufo-Addo will judge such people for causing his downfall.
“I picked up intelligence that the CEO of the Minerals Commission was against us. Everything we did, he allegedly reported to the NDC. But when we informed Akufo-Addo, he trusted him so much that he did not act,” he claimed.
He concluded that the president only realised his mistakes after the elections, when the betrayal of most of his appointees had become evident.
