According to him, the position makes Dr Mahama an “errand boy” who can be sent by the president anytime, adding that he (Mr Ayariga) will never accept such a position.

“What I understand as Ambassador-at-Large is [that it] practically [means] an errand person, like an errand boy to the president. President sends you anytime he wants…you are not even up to an aide, an aide is even much higher.

“If he thinks he is comfortable and he thinks that is how he wants to serve this country, well enough but as for Ayariga, that position is not for Ayariga and I will never ever accept that,” Mr Ayariga told journalists at a press conference on Tuesday, July 11 in Accra.

He believes that the PNC must question Dr Mahama on his acceptance of the appointment as it does not speak well for the party.

“The PNC should sit him down and ask him why he refused an offer in Kufuor’s regime to be a running mate but rather go in to be an ambassador…I mean an errand boy,” he said.
