John Boadu interacting for the first since losing his position, admitted that his political career was interfering with his occupation, therefore following his defeat, he decided to focus on his private business.
“I’ve been going on with the private job that I do. I’ve been nursing [it] over a period,” he told Emefa Apawu in an interview on Sunday, 25/12/ 2022
Mr Boadu compared his political career to working in a position at a church.
He noted that a church’s decision to allow an individual to hand over their position to someone else does not indicate that the individual in question would have no other work to do.
John Boadu lost his bid to retain his position as the General Secretary of the NPP to the then Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Justin Frimpong Kodua.
Justin Kodua won with 2,837 votes, while John Boadu trailed behind with 2,524 votes.
Before his shocking defeat, the former General Secretary of the NPP had served the position since he was appointed as acting General Secretary in 2015 and later elected as a substantive scribe for the NPP.
