The outgoing CEO of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation company Alfred Obeng has expressed gratitude to President Akufo Addo despite his dismissal. 

In a statement, he thanked the President Akufo-Addo for the opportunity to serve under his administration.

“I extend my deepest and unqualified appreciation to his Excellency the President of the republic, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo for offering me the opportunity to serve in his Government until the restructuring took place," he said.

“I accept your decision in good faith and urge all affected colleagues to do same as we rally our unflinching support to the President.”

Alfred Obeng came under intense pressure to resign following the exposé that BOST had sold 5 million liters of contaminated fuel to two unlicensed companies, Zup Oil and Movenpiina Oil.

He was however cleared of any wrongdoing by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and National Security.

Mr Obeng, in his appreciation to the president has also called on supporters of the NPP to "us tread cautiously " to avoid acts that may jeopardize the young NPP government under Nana Addo

LETTER OF APPRECIATION

I, Alfred Obeng Boateng extend my deepest and unqualified appreciation to his Excellency the President of the republic, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo for offering me the opportunity to serve in his Government until the restructuring took place.

I accept your decision in good faith and urge all affected colleagues to do same as we rally our unflinching support to the President.

I am available at all times to offer my varied expertise.

To all my admirers, the staff of BOST and relations showing support, I urge and appeal to you to come on board to support the President. In government or not, I wish the government and my party to succeed.

In as much as I appreciate the solidarity shown across the country particularly from the Western Region, let us tread cautiously in order not to do anything that may undermine the government and our great party, NPP.

I also thank my critics for strengthening me in all those challenging moments during my tenure.

Mr President, I am really grateful.
