Prof Ransford Gyampo, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA), has revealed that President John Mahama called him to serve the nation on three or four occasions.
Prof Gyampo detailed that this was not the first time President John Dramani Mahama had called on him to serve the nation.
According to Prof Gyampo, he received invitations from President Mahama on different occasions to contest as an MP in Mfantseman during the 2016 elections.
Also, in the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election in 2019.
He revealed that John Mahama has called on him to serve the country on three occasions.
Prof Gyampo established that he accepted the third invitation because he believes there are certain duties he can fulfil as a citizen to help the country progress.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM, Prof Gyampo stated, “Mahama first made an offer to me in the lead-up to the 2016 Election. They wanted me to contest for the parliamentary seat in my hometown, Saltpond — the Mfantseman seat — but I felt the time wasn’t right.
“Also, for the Ayawaso West Wuogon election, when Kwabena Kyeremateng Agyarko died, I was at the University of Bristol as a visiting scholar. Leaders called me several times, but I was okay with where I was.”
He added, “So, this could be the third or the fourth time he (Mahama) has called on me.”
Professor Gyampo, after he was appointed as acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO)of Ghana Shippers Authority, boldly stated that one is a nation wrecker if one refuses to serve the nation.
According to Professor Gyampo, it is unpatriotic to refuse the opportunity to serve the nation.
