Odeneho Nana Oppong, the former Director of Transport and Logistics at the Presidency, has alleged that he was unfairly suspended for four years without pay, despite making significant personal sacrifices to support President Nana Akufo-Addo’s political campaign.
In a video shared on Facebook, Oppong recounted how he dedicated himself to Akufo-Addo’s presidential bid, going as far as selling his personal properties to help finance the campaign. He also revealed that during the election period, he sometimes had to dress like Akufo-Addo and address crowds on his behalf while the President rested in his vehicle.
“I campaigned vehemently for Akufo-Addo, sold my properties to support his campaign. Sometimes, I had to dress like him and speak while he’d be asleep in his car,” he said.
However, despite his dedication, Oppong said he was later suspended from his position without any official explanation. According to him, he was advised against continuing his close association with Akufo-Addo at the time but chose to remain loyal. Looking back, he expressed regret over his decision.
“I was suspended for four years without pay. I was told not to follow President Akufo-Addo at that time, but I didn’t listen. And now, I know,” he lamented.
The former transport director did not disclose who specifically issued his suspension or the reasons behind it. The former president has yet to respond to his allegations.
Oppong’s statement has sparked discussions about the treatment of political loyalists within government circles, with some calling for clarity on the circumstances surrounding his suspension.
