I feel sad for Frimpong-Boateng and what he is currently going through – Nyonkopa Daniels

Nyonkopa Daniels, Executive Director of Peace Watch Ghana, has described the current situation facing Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng as unfortunate, blaming it mainly on his decision to get involved in partisan politics.

She said Prof Frimpong-Boateng is not only a politician but also a highly respected heart surgeon who has served Ghana with dedication and excellence.

While praising his achievements and long service to the country, Madam Daniels said his involvement in partisan politics has weakened his legacy and damaged the reputation he built over the years.

She recalled that the late former President Jerry John Rawlings was the one who first identified Prof Frimpong-Boateng and brought him to national attention.

However, she argued that his deep involvement in partisan politics, especially his association with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), eventually led him into what she described as a “slaughterhouse.”

“I feel sad for this man and what he is currently going through,” she said.

“He is a celebrated heart surgeon, highly respected for his medical achievements. He is an honourable man, but the moment he engaged in partisan politics, it drew him toward self-destruction. I predicted this downfall the moment he got closer to partisan politics.”

Speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM with host Kwabena Agyapong, Madam Daniels said not everyone can withstand the pressure, hostility, and tension that come with partisan politics, adding that Prof Frimpong-Boateng is one of such people.

She noted that he would have been better off remaining a nationalist, serving Ghana professionally regardless of which political party was in power.

According to her, partisan politics often brings disrespect, destroys personal dignity, and ruins hard-earned professional reputations.

Madam Daniels concluded that if Prof Frimpong-Boateng had stayed in public professional service instead of active partisan politics, he would have protected his dignity and respected status.

She added that he could have focused on bringing together professionals of similar standing to support national development in their various fields.

“I feel so sad for him,” she said. “A man of his grace and celebrated record deserves far better than the treatment he is currently receiving.”…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
