The Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has hinted that several pages of the memoir he plans to write in the future will be dedicated to New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart, Gabby Otchere-Darko.

According to him, Gabby whom he referred to as “Prime Minister” is one of the few people within the party who sat him down and advised him during some of the lowest moments of his life.

Speaking in an interview on Asasepa, shared on social media, Afenyo-Markin explained that during the early years of the previous NPP administration, when the party recaptured power from the then National Democratic Congress (NDC), he felt neglected because he was not rewarded with any position or appointment.

He added that despite being a long-standing Member of Parliament for the Effutu Constituency in the Central Region, he was not given any parliamentary committee leadership role, even though new entrants secured such positions.

“Look, God has planned everything. For me to even be here, I never dreamt of becoming a Whip, then a Deputy Leader and eventually the Leader of the Minority.

“Your boss, Gabby Otchere-Darko, aka Prime Minister, the day I write my memoir, I will dedicate several pages in his honour,” he said.

“We fought hard to win power and when they shared the positions, I didn’t get any. Even in Parliament, I didn’t get committee leadership but newcomers were made committee leaders. We went through trials but people like Gabby sat me down and said, Alex, how old are you? You are in your 30s. Go and work hard and pray. Politics is always like that.”

He noted that Gabby’s advice encouraged him to stay focused and work harder, ultimately contributing to his rise as Minority Leader.
