Step down now – NPP’s Kofi Tonto urges Akufo-Addo era CEOs

A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team, Kofi Tonto, has called on Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) appointed under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration to resign immediately.

Tonto contends that individuals who align with President John Dramani Mahama’s vision and agenda should take up leadership roles in state institutions.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, February 6, Kofi Tonto said, “You cannot campaign against the vision and ideas of Mahama and expect to be maintained as a CEO. Step down for those who believe in his ideas and vision. It’s that simple!”

SIC MD Controversy

Tonto’s remarks come amid ongoing tensions involving the outgoing Managing Director (MD) of SIC Insurance PLC, Hollistar Duah-Yentumi, who has filed an injunction application against the company following the appointment of her successor, James Agyenim-Boateng.

Reports indicate that Duah-Yentumi has locked the MD’s office and withheld the keys, preventing Agyenim-Boateng from assuming his role.

Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on February 5, Agyenim-Boateng revealed that during an official visit to SIC’s headquarters to introduce himself to the management team, Duah-Yentumi refused to attend the meeting.

Additionally, the outgoing MD has failed to present her handover notes, raising concerns among staff about the disruption to the company’s operations.

“It has become apparent that the real difficulty regarding why I have not been able to access the office is because my predecessor has actually locked up the office and bolted with the keys. It is strange,” Agyenim-Boateng asserted.

The situation has fueled calls for a smooth transition to enable the new administration to carry out its mandate effectively.
