Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has broken his silence on rumoured presidential ambition.
According to Asiedu Nketia, no serious politician rules out any position.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, Asideu Nketia stated, “No serious politician rules out any position. It’s known that it is ambition that drives politics.
And if you rush to rule things out, you get to a point where you’ll be at a corner where you regret having ruled out certain positions”.
He added, “If I want to demonstrate with my own life. To begin with, I never dreamt of going to Parliament. I was a trained business guy, and I was a marketing manager, bank manager, a stockbroker and so on.
“So, the thought of going to Parliament never crossed my mind at all until pressure began mounting from my own people that you have to do this, you have to represent our community to do this work.
Then you say, okay, let me do it for one year or one term and then go and do something else. Then you do it and everybody says, you have done it so well that without you, we can’t get a good replacement, so continue… I never planned to go to Parliament at all,” he said.
