Former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Yaa Jantuah has been appointed a Presidential Staffer in the John Mahama administration.
Her appointment was made known in a statement from the presidency and signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Ag. Spokesperson to the President.
Her appointment was part of key ones made to the Office of the President and aimed at “strengthening governance and enhancing operational efficiency.”
Nana Yaa Jantuah who was prior to December 6, 2023 the General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), stepped down from her position following a petition presented at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party in Kumasi on Tuesday, December 5.
Members of the CPP from across various parts of the country petitioned the NEC to compel all national executives of the Nkrumahist party to either voluntarily resign or be removed over their alleged incompetence.
A vote of no confidence was then passed in all of its national executives which led to a significant misunderstanding during the meeting.
“I am gone. I think I’ve done what I have to do. I’m no longer the General Secretary of the CPP. In due course, I will let everybody know where my political allegiance will be. For now, it’s time for family and friends. I’m going to spend time with my family and friends.
“For now, I’m going to concentrate on my business. They think some other people can do it better. In political parties, you do not hold on to things. I have done what I have to do these past three years and everybody has seen it. If my people say they do not want me, I can’t force myself on them,” she said as she left the position she had served in diligently since 2020.
