According to him, after listening to several interviews the 45-year old former Oyarifa Branch Youth Organizer of the party granted media houses, he is convinced that Mr Boateng is not a member of the NDC.
“Following interviews he has granted to media houses, we can assess whoever we are talking about and based on that we think that he is a misfit, in terms of we believing that he is NDC. He doesn’t fit in… I have listened to that gentleman personally and I don’t believe the gentleman is an NDC person, I don’t,” the Presidential Staffer said on Citi FM's on Saturday.
