Speaking in an interview on the KSM Show, Afenyo Markin detailed, “Sam George and I have had a cordial relationship. But I think he went to the extreme in some of his politics”.

“Look, Akufo-Addo has given me a political space through his leadership. He has given the NPP an opportunity to be seen by the nation. He is all we have as our leader”, he added.

The minority leader continued, “So, politically if you keep pounding him, pounding him, pounding him without respect, I will need to scrutinize some of the things you have said about him.”

“The attacks on the Chief Justice, the attacks on Akufo-Addo—there was a lot. If you make such strong statements, you should be ready to defend them when the time comes.”

“Yes, I wanted to scrutinize him. I needed to. That’s politics”, he admitted.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin further revealed some members of the New Patriotic Party attacked him for fast-tracking President John Mahama’s ministers.

Speaking on the KSM Show the minority leader revealed, “When we lost the election, some people attacked me for allowing Mahama’s ministers to go through the vetting process faster than expected. But I said, look, we don’t need to create a vacuum. Let’s push it through. The government must be formed quickly. If they make mistakes, that’s when we can criticize them.”

He further added, “There are times my colleagues disagree with cooperation. There are times they don’t like my approach. But as a leader, you must always balance it. Everyone wants a space. You listen to their views, and you make an input, but you can’t satisfy everyone. You just have to get it through and move on.”

“I have to play my role as Minority Leader. I have a responsibility to lead the rebranding of the party. The base must be activated, and we must hold the NDC to the fire.”

“The most important thing is that it’s a perception-driven enterprise. People must see that you are fighting for your party. That’s what matters”, he added.
