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.

I.D-IOT, DIDN'T YOU CAMPAIGNED AGAINST AKOFU ADDO? ***barred word*** BEING. GO TAKE UP THAT JOB, "OKWASIA" LIKE YOU NYAHO.
IF SOMEBODY HATES YOU EVEN IF U EAT BREAD HE WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE LITTERING SO STOP. EIIIII NAHO HMMM
Let us listen to the sense in his submission. It is true Nitiwul is too young for the Defence Ministry and so many people are talking about it. He has been bold to say it openly. It is time we stop the sycophancy and be serious for once. Is it because we cannot oppose or criticise President Nana Addo?
Dr. Pls leave Nana alone to govern the nation. You even did not support him and i think you did not vote for him.
Dr Nyaho Nyaho Tamoakloe again! And is he still a member of NPP?
IntelligA person's intelligence has nothing to do with his/her age. Age is just a number. All we want is results oriented people.
At least we know nitiwul from news file etc. He comes off as affable and respectful. You Nyaho Tamakloe on the other hand....were you not the one who said Ghanaians shouldn't vote for Nana but rather for Mahama because Ibrahim is your immediate nephew borne by your younger sister?!? I don't think you should be taken seriously! And thank God Ghanaians didn't listen to you. 19 days in and you want your voice to be heard.....don't annoy us!
Nyaho whatever in the president own wisdom chooses to do is none of your business. Leave Nana Addo alone for he has better things to do for the good people of Ghana you traitor.
Which matured figures is this man talking about? When the matured likes of him have sold their conscience for money. Nitiwul is a smart and very intelligent guy and he will learn quickly and perform to the admiration of all. Please Peacefm and all other media houses could do us a favour by stopping to refer to people like Nyaho as founding members of the NPP because there is no proof. They were just opportunists.
What have you got to do with NPP. Please go to your NDC. CHEAP MAN.
