Former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Majority leader, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin has revealed that Stan Dogbe was given too much power under President John Mahama.

Alban Bagbin who was speaking in an interview stated that Former President Mahama gave too much power to his close friend, Stan Dogbe who was a presidential staffer a situation he said caused the downfall of the Mahama adminstration.

He indicated that, the liberty given to the Former journalist by President Mahama made Stan feel too powerful.

Expressing his opinion, Mr. Bagbin stated that, Mr Mahama could have used the expertise of Stan Dogbe as a journalist to his advantage instead of using him as a flagstaff House main man.

“Stan Dogbe obviously is a very good paddy of the former president, nobody begrudges the former president for bringing him in; but where he positioned him.

“Don’t forget the history of Stan Dogbe, he has never been a member of the National Democratic Congress. … It’s not only him, there are a number of members that were nominated by him who told the public … that they are not members of our party.

“You see, party politics is not for the undecided. Anybody that is undecided but has the technical capacity, there is a place to place the person,” Mr Bagbin told Gifty Andoh Appiah in an interview.

“As a good friend, and, if you needed him, he is a very good media person; he would have just been tapping in from behind the scenes. You could use him to do a lot of work, running around doing things for you, but to position him as one of the front-liners…

“He didn’t just handle the media, he went beyond that and was all over in the office of the president; there was everywhere that the most powerful person was Stan Dogbe, and I experienced it one day and I said: ‘Wow, you believe that you can do this? I can’t believe it’, but for good reason, I accepted because I was a Majority Leader, you couldn’t have compared his position to my position…” Mr Bagbin recalled.
