The announcement of the resignation of his colleague, former Majority Leader Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, appears to have upset and disappointed the previous leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), led by the late John Evans Atta Mills.
Hon Cletus Apul Avoka believes the former NPP Majority Leader should have resigned in a “more elegant and befitting manner.”
Before the crucial meeting with President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House in Accra on Wednesday, February 21, Hon. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu tendered his resignation in the late hours of the previous day.
However, Cletus Avoka, a former Zebilla Constituency member of parliament, expressed his displeasure with the decision by stating, “I am hugely disappointed.”
According to him, Hon. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s move will greatly harm Ghana overall as well as the NPP.
“I do not think that given just about 10 months to the election and some acknowledgment for the exit, as he has decided not to contest the 2024 elections like myself, I do not think that this is the way he should exit, I think that he should exit in a more elegant and befitting manner.”
Cletus Avoka described the former majority leader and Suame MP as his brother and close ally, having worked together on the lands committee during the third Parliament.
“When I was the Majority Leader in the 2009 Parliament, he was the Minority Leader, and we shared a lot of experiences together. We built consensus together, and we passed very critical laws together,” he stated.
