Obama ‘axed’ from government

Vincent Sowah Odotei popularly called ‘Obama’ by his constituents is a Ghanaian politician and the Member of Parliament of La Dadekotopon in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. He is a member of the New Patriotic Party and the deputy minister for communications in Ghana.

He defeated Hon. Nii Amasah Namoale in the 2016 elections.

Vincent Sowah Odotei was at the just ended World Summit Awards Grand Jury held in Accra, Ghana held from November 3, 2018 to November 7, 2018 where he expressed his ministry’s willingness to partner the private sector for development.

The president of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo-Dankwa Akuffo Addo in a letter dated 6th April 2020 signed by the director of communications at the Jubilee House, Mr. Eugene Arhin fired the deputy minister for communications, Vincent Sowah Odotei, known as ‘Obama’ by the people of La Dade Kotopon Constituency.

The sacking of Hon. Vincent Sowah Odotei, a deputy minister for Communication and a Member of Parliament for La Dade Kotopon Constituency came as a shock to the people of La, especially when the reasons for his removal are not immediately clear.
