A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has questioned President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's choice of Dominic Aduna Bingab Nitiwul as Defence Minister.
Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe says the choice of the Deputy Minority leader in the sixth parliament lacks the experience to handle such a sensitive Ministry.
Even though he retained his seat in the 7th Parliament of the fourth Republic he now has an extra responsibility as a Minister.
Political Background
Mr Nitiwul won the by-election in March 2002, after Mohamed Ibn Chambas had vacated the seat to take up his new job as the Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States.
He has served on the Appointments Committee, Business Committee, Committee of Selection, Finance Committee, Roads and Transport.
Speaking to Joy News, the former Army Captain in the Ghana Armed Forces said he believes "a more senior person should have been put there." Although he could not easily tell who would have been appropriate for the position, he noted that having served in the military, age plays a crucial role in that setting.
"I think they [military] would be more comfortable with a very senior figure. If you have observed, throughout our history, very senior persons have been put there," he said.
Dr Tamakloe who said he only knows the 39-year-old Member of Parliament (MP) of Bimbilla from a distance advised that having to deal with the military who are straightforward in their dealings, Mr Nitiwul should shed off any "peck of arrogance" as that would irk them.
"He should be polite and calm in his office," he added.

Just mind your business, after failing to muddy the waters for NPP with the view that Nana Addo will not be president,you lose your morality to advice the party. SHAME
NPP pls kindly reconsider Kwabena Agyepong. I'm sure he has learnt a lost of lessons by now. He is a good material for the party and Ghana, to err is human. As for Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe, he should advice NDC on how to strategise for 2020 election and leave Nana and NPP alone. NPP should never accept him again. He should be the campaign manager for former President Mahama He is better of in opposition
the least said about this man the better.mind your own business.If you have anything tell NDC
tamakloe 3tw3 fi mu ba. abboa ba. kwassea kwa.
Shutt up NDC mole pretending to be an NPP founding member.... Go and join the NDC now in opposition. You have no position in NPP....
SSSHUT UP NYAHO NYAHO TAMAKLO!!! U fuuull
Nyaho, I think your comment is not the best. Nana knows what he is doing and from all indications I think Hon Nitiwul is matured and wise. Nana will not play into the hands of his detractors and so he is careful with his selections. Tanks for your concern
When did this id10t Tamakloe come out of his rat hole? You see how this world is.You used all sorts of unprintable words on His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo to the extent of even saying he shall never be president of Ghana. So if he is now the president, what is your problem? We know you were in that rat hole with Dr. Arthur Kennedy...tell the road is now clear so he should come out.***barred word*** 1d1ots.
How old was Ex-president Mahamah when he ruled over the people of Ghana including an older person like he Nyaho Tamakloe?
Is Nyaho the only ex military capo around? is he telling us the more senior ex military capos in NPP ill advised our Prez to choosing Nitiwul? Nyaho, like Obama said to Trump, reality has a way of biting back. I pray elders like you in our society will uphold the truth at all times and teach us to be loyal as well. Wish you well senior Nyaho.
