A leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has issued a subtle warning to government appointees with presidential ambitions.

Gabby, who is a nephew and close confidant of  President Akufo-Addo has advised such persons to focus on their jobs instead of allowing their personal ambitions get in the way of their jobs.

According to him, these appointees must take a cue from President Akufo-Addo who never allowed his ambition to become the president of Ghana get in the way of his job.

In a Facebook post the Executive Director of the Danquah Institute said: "if you are a minister with a greater ambition, please learn from Akufo-Addo when he was in your position. He focused on delivering on the work assigned to him by the President. He would not be distracted. He did not let his ambition get in the way of his job; not even how to fund his future campaign” 

"be loyal and committed to the mandate you have today. Let the success of the government you are a big part of today be the only thing that matters today. Guard and Guide your integrity as if it is your only source of oxygen. When the time comes the party will remember you and your ethics and reward you for the services rendered to the government when you were gifted the opportunity to serve" he added.
