Bernard Mornah, the flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC) has stated President John Mahama is not obligated to include members of the PNC in his government.
The flagbearer PNC flagbearer asserted that Mahama appointing a PNC member in his government will not be the first time.
According to Bernard Mornah, John Kufuor, the late Atta-Mills, and John Mahama appointed PNC members in their government.
Speaking on PM Express on Joy News on Tuesday, January 21, Bernard Mornarh detailed, “Indeed, the point is for John Mahama to determine whether he wants to appoint somebody from the PNC, the NPP, or any other place. Failing to do that, it is his burden to carry”.
“The PNC remains a resolute political party. We have a duty to critique and to support government policies and programs where the need is, and so we will continue to play our role”, he added.
Bernard Mornah further detailed, “It is not the first time a PNC member has been in government. Under President John Kufuor, PNC members served in his government; under President John Atta Mills, PNC members served; in fact, in the first term of President John Mahama, PNC members served in his government,”
“Obviously, the PNC took a solid decision to back the NDC to ensure that we were able to get change. But that is not to say that the NDC is under compulsion to appoint us. If you appoint us, it is good; but if you don’t appoint us, probably, it’s even better”, he reiterated.
Meanwhile, Bernard Mornah has stated it would be a bad appointment to appoint him as an ambassador, according to him, he lacks diplomatic acumen.
