“You people say I criticise the government because I want to be induced. No! Let me tell you today, I don’t need anything from this government. I was offered a deputy ministerial appointment and I rejected. After tha, they said, okay, let’s give you the minister of Chieftaincy and Culture and I rejected that as well. If you meet Nana Addo, ask him. That’s why when you go to cabinet meeting, Nana Addo tells you not to mind me because I don’t want anything. If you meet Napo, ask him. Those of you who say I want a car, wouldn’t I have gotten a car as a minister?” he is quoted as saying in a report ny Onuaonline.com sighted by InsightNewsgh.com.
Captain Smart, a frequent government critic, has occasionally been charged with attacking the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led administration in order to further his own interests.
However, the journalist who declares membership in the government’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) has never hesitated to defend his choices as being in the national interest.
