Dr. Fred Awaah, spokesperson for the NDC Manifesto on Sports says that President John Dramani Mahama would act immediately to reshuffle ministerial appointments, especially in the Sports Ministry, as he kick starts his administration.
Awaah's remarks come after reports unfolded that former Sports Minister Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye could make a return as he has emerged as as a leading contender for the Minister of Youth and Sports position in a potential John Dramani Mahama administration.
According to Dr. Awaah, who is a member of the faculty of Management Studies, University of Professional Studies – Accra, the Mahama administration would be wakeful and will not hesitate in taking critical decisions which will be in the best interest of Ghanaians if difficulties emerge in the sports sector.
"Now, to answer your question, I just reflect back on the youth manifesto launch at the University of Professional Studies, Accra," Dr. Awaah told Citi Sports.
"His Excellency said, and I want to remember his own words, that when he takes power, those who would be privileged to serve under his government, if you don’t do well, he’s not going to be lenient on you.
"Are we together? So it’s a true reflection of a man who is committed to giving people opportunities, but also at the back of that opportunity, if you are not capable, you’ll be shown the exit door, especially so when you are corrupt.
"So he should tell you that his excellency, John Dramani Mahama is a diligent person and he will not tolerate anything that is inconsistent to the rules and regulations of our country."
