Minister of Information, Mustapha Hamid has denied reports that he is going to resign as published by the Al-Hajj newspaper.
According to the paper, "the outspoken Mustapha Hamid is said to have threatened to resign from government if he is not moved to a different ministry in the President’s first reshuffle". Click to read full story
However, in a statement, Mr Hamid described the report as a 'figment of the writer's imagination'.
"I am totally happy with my job and I am happy to contribute my quota to the fortunes of the Akufo-Addo government. I serve at the pleasure of the President and until he decides otherwise, I intend to be Minister for Information and Presidential Spokesperson for as long as it takes" he indicated.
Below is the full statement
I write in response to your story of today 25th July 2017 with the above headline.
Your story, which is purported to have been culled from the Al-Hajj newspaper, alleges that I plan to resign as Minister for Information and Presidential Spokesperson. This is a figment of the writer's imagination. I have at no time harboured any such thoughts.
I am totally happy with my job and I am happy to contribute my quota to the fortunes of the Akufo-Addo government. I serve at the pleasure of the President and until he decides otherwise, I intend to be Minister for Information and Presidential Spokesperson for as long as it takes.
Having said that, it is important to caution about propagating unsourced stories.
I thought that a news story is an event that has been enacted. How does a thought (that which is in somebody's mind) constitute a story? I also thought that "there is no art to find the mind's construction on the face." How the Al-Hajj newspaper reads what people have in their minds is baffling.
As for the fabrication about my deputies disrespecting me, it is laughable.
I can say with absolute confidence that I am arguably the minister, most respected by his deputies. The camaraderie amongst us is not like anything I have known in my entire life.
We have become more than work mates. We are brothers and sister to one another.
You will recall that at the recent National Policy Summit, I said publicly that I have very wonderful deputies and expressed my indebtedness to the President for giving me such wonderful deputies.
I hope this sets the record straight and sets the hearts of my well wishers at ease.
Mustapha Abdul-Hamid
(Minister for Information and Presidential Spokesperson)

Ah! Mustapha, you wasted your precious time to respond to story from the Al-Haj news paper? l will NEVER forgive you for this. My brother why? Kai. Me koraaa l don't easte my time on his stories strangely published by PeaceFm.
I am at ease thank you Hon. Mustapha. God bless you. I am not going anywhere to check my pressure
Bature a card bearing member of NDC, faking as a journalist is all about mischief. He Bature needs to wear a red Barret to be seen 30 miles as an ndc man. He is fake journalist and writes fake stories.
fuuulishhh man bature. molakpe
When i even saw the headline i knew it was from the gabag3 of Al hajj. so i didnt bother to read further. All Bature knows is doing tribal politics and if he doesnt take care he will end up chewing his own tongue one day, i dont thing no person in his right s3ns3s will buy that paper to even wrap a groundnut. Hamid keep ur good works up and we dey ur back, observers are mourning
