Ayisi-Boateng poses with 'NDC men'

Ghana’s High Commissioner to South Africa George Ayisi-Boateng has been captured in a picture surrounded by three men wearing T-shirts of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

It is not clear when or where the picture was taken, but it is surfacing on social media following intense pressure on the diplomat to resign after telling the governing New Patriotic Party’s tertiary arm in Ghana two weeks ago that members of his party are his topmost priority before other Ghanaians.

The statement attracted a deluge of criticism from the Minority in parliament, several civil society organisations as well as former President John Mahama who recently said President Nana Akufo-Addo should have fired Mr Ayisi-Boateng after he made that statement.
