Although he was named as one of the potential candidates for the tourism, culture and creative arts ministerial position, Rex Omar has intimated that he did not expect that appointment in President John Mahama's government.

Rex, who is the Coordinator for the Blackstar Experience said he was comfortable with his current position.

When asked about industry speculation that he would become the sector minister, he told Doreen Avio on Hitz FM: “I heard it, but you see, God has his own way of doing things. I wasn’t expecting to be a sector minister myself because politically it was not possible because you know the president’s arms are always bound by the constitution. You have to consider gender balance, parliamentary balance, regional balance and all these things."

Rex Omar expressed gratitude for his current role as the Coordinator of Blackstar Experience at the Office of the President.

“And I didn’t see myself being the sector minister. And at the same time I felt that where God wants me to be is exactly where the president has put me in. I’m very, very grateful and I’m very, very appreciative of the confidence he has in me,” he stated.

He also highlighted and acknowledged the support he’s receiving from the presidency.

“This responsibility is huge without his own guidelines and then directions. And I thank God that the whole presidency, the chief of staff, the special advisor, everybody is supporting us to succeed, including the president himself. So we are very happy and we have a very cordial relationship with the ministry, with all the state agencies and everything,” he noted.

Rex Omar’s appointment as presidential staffer for Black Stars Experience seems to have worked out perfectly, with him expressing gratitude for the trust placed in him.
