President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in consultation with the Council of State, has appointed former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Akuapem North, Dennis Edward Aboagye, popularly referred to as ‘Miracles’ to the presidency as a Presidential staffer with a focus on Local Governance, Decentralization & Rural Development.
The young and vibrant politician described by many as one of the key assets to the future of the NPP was relieved of his role as an MCE in August 2020 which came as a shock to many who thought he was on top of his job at the time.
At the time, he explained that the president informed him of the need for him to come to Accra to come to support the campaign as the election 2020 was heating up and felt the president knows best and have insight into everyone’s capability and believes he was needed to support the campaign to ensure the party retains power.
In his new role, he is expected to be seconded to the Local Government Minister to provide special support and assistance to the minister and ministry in the delivery of their mandate in Local Government, Decentralisation, and Rural Development.
