The Peoples National Convention (PNC) involvement in my appointment as an Ambassador by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is not relevant, Dr Edward Nasigri Mahama has revealed.
He disclosed on Accra-based Okay Fm that he did not need the blessing of his party before he could accept the appointment from the president explaining that it is not an arrangement between the party and the current government.
“I only discussed the matter with my running mate when I was first approached in January this year. I do not think it was necessary to discuss the issue with the party because it is not a party matter. I was first approached about the matter in January and I asked to be given some time to think about it,” he disclosed.
Dr Mahama indicated that as far as he is concerned, he has not flouted any regulation in the party and still remains its leader until after the next congress when another leader is chosen.
He further revealed that it was too early for people to conclude he has ended his political journey with the current appointment, indicating that the future will decide that.
The long-running presidential candidate was on Monday July 10, 2017 appointed as an Ambassador at Large of the republic of Ghana when the president named his second batch of 22 Ambassadors.
An ambassador at Large is an ambassador with special duties not appointed to a particular country.

Congratulations Dr. Mahama. It is Ghana you are serving not PNC.
Dr. have my congratulations on your appointment. By the way your Chairman will do things to frustrate you. But do not mind him. He is an NDC mole in PNC. All the bad policies and corruptions which went on during 2009 to 2016 he (and his friend K. Pratt) did NOT talk of it because they were enjoying.
congrats Sir, Ghana need your services.
Congratulations Dr. Mahama. It is a very well-deserving appointment. PNC should celebrate that not condemn it. Dr. Mahama's contributions to the nation as a medical doctor and politician is invaluable to all Ghanaians and we should all (both friend and foe) be grateful for his service. Well done to Nana Addo for involving him in the rebuilding of our nation.
Dr Mahama is an extremely practical man . He exhibited throughout all the presidential debates he [participated in . The votes he garnered in the past elections never reflected his stature as a politician of note . Great for President Akufo Addo to appoint him to this position . We must rise above partisanship in some of such choices . He is my man any day .
You have shown that you have the interest of the Nation at heart. Let us all unite and build MOTHER GHANA . All hands on deck! oya !!! work work !!!
Dr. Edward Mahama congratulations on your appointment. Your statement attest to your resolve to serve Mother Ghana. I am sure the Chairman of your party is going to castigate all over the place but please show your maturity. GHANA FIRST
