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.

There is nobody in this world without a fault. DR. Tamaklo's utterances prior to the election was not the best if he really is a 'founding father' of the NPP. I read how he openly asked Ghanaians to reject Nana.He was in favor of Former President Mahama,but the Almighty God and the good people of Ghana chose Nana Addo. Though Dr Tamaklo and others didn't want Nana to win he won by the Grace of God.i will rather entreat all Ghanaians to be be tolerant of opposing views,and embrace good advice from all quarters to help build mother Ghana. l know Ghana abounds in vast intellectual as well as good people across the poliltical divide.We need all these people. My humble appeal to the NPP is to consider re-calling Kwabena Adjapong.The guy is quite good and can contribute to present government as well.
DO NOT BE LIKE AMIDU OF NDC, BECAUSE HE IS BY FAR WIS............ER THAN YOU.
Don't worry Nyaho, We the ndc have decided to give u this portfolio when we come to power in 2040, since u envy it. By then u would be old and matured enough to handle it. f00000000lish old man!!!
This f00000ooo0000000l like Kwesi Pratt, Haruna Attah etc took "bribe" from Mahamah to destroy Nana Akuffu Addoh but failed miserably; what is he talking about? Everybody in Ghana knew what Mahamah was trying to do to steal the election. Snakes like you made themselves available to be used as a tribal tools to destroy Nana. Go to heeeeeell, nobody needs your advice. You're just a piece of sssssshhhhhhh1111tt period.
***barred word***!!!! You squander your right to advice Nana as a founding member of the party with your diabolic hidden agenda to derail NPP and Nana chances when you heeded to your stomach. I'll encourage you to join NDC because thus where you heart and stomach is period. The coordinated statement from Haruna Attah, you in concert to others on the eve of the 2016 election were exposed by Bugri Naabu.
Who is this 'disgraced' man advising? The man who COULD NEVER BE PRESIDENT?....hehehehehehe!!! And he still want to comment of appointees? As what? A 'FOUNDING MEMBER' of the NPP? Eish!!!

hey tamakloe you s.hut the F.UC.K up you dumb a.$.$ piece of sh1t. - no one cares for your f king opinion you tribal1st1c son of a bitch. fk off ***barred word*** . k w a siaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AWURADE is this man still around? Nyaho just want to be heard and we will refuse to hear him. He must keep the advise to HIMSELF. Wait and see how the one you think is "small boy" will manage the security aspect of this country. President Akuffo Addo will not shout loud to Ghanaians that he is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE GHANA ARMED FORCE but we shall feel it. HYPOCRITE YOU ARE NYAHO TAMAKLOE.. Long Live Ghana and Long Live KEEA.
This traitor has recovered from the shock that he had over John Mahama's painful defeat. Instead of keeping quiet he has started spewing out garbage. His hatred for Nana Addo is phenomenal.
