The Director of Communication for the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, Miracles Aboagye, says he is not surprised by the appointment of Professor Ransford Gyampo as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority.

Miracles Aboagye accused Prof. Gyampo of being aligned with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and serving its interests.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, he claimed that Prof. Gyampo had actively lobbied for the position.

“He almost cried at TUC because his people did not support him in declaring a nationwide strike over galamsey. Unknowingly, he was serving his interest.

“I wasn’t surprised, and those of us in NPP weren’t surprised. I knew he was actively lobbying for the position. Some Professors who openly campaigned and shared fliers in traffic are now crying because they feel neglected, but the so-called neutrals are now being appointed,” he stated.

Before his appointment, Prof. Gyampo was a political science professor at the University of Ghana and had been vocal on national issues, earning a reputation as an independent-minded figure in the fight against wrongdoing.

However, Miracles Aboagye questioned why Prof. Gyampo would leave his academic position to accept the appointment.
