An NDC National Deputy Communications Officer hopeful, Joshua Sika Nartey, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to appoint Sam Kofi Atta Mills, son of the late President Professor John Evans Atta Mills, into his administration.

Speaking during activities marking the 14th anniversary of the passing of the former president, Nartey said while Ghanaians continue to honour Professor Mills’ legacy, attention must also be given to the contributions and welfare of his family.

“For the past 14 years, we’ve been laying wreaths and talking about the legacy of Professor Mills but, at this point, we should discuss what his progeny has gained from this celebration,” he said.

He argued that Sam Kofi Atta Mills actively supported the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the party’s campaign and deserved an opportunity to serve in government.

“This is somebody who travelled, campaigned and sold everything he had to support the NDC. We expected him to be part of the Mahama administration, but he’s nowhere to be found,” Nartey stated.

The NDC communicator hopeful further called on the government to support the families of former national leaders and urged President Mahama to tap into Sam Kofi Atta Mills’ expertise.

“We need to empower Sam Kofi Atta Mills so he can contribute to the betterment of this Mahama legacy term that we are seeing,” he added.

Nartey also appealed to party supporters who are awaiting appointments to remain patient, expressing confidence that everyone would eventually get an opportunity to contribute to the government.
