The Corporate Affairs Director of University for Development Studies, Abdul Hayi Moomin, has reacted to comments made by the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, during his recent tour of the Northern Region.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Moomin described the Chairman’s reference to the Interior Minister as “the other guy” as dismissive and disrespectful.
According to him, language plays a crucial role in political communication, and such expressions can easily be interpreted as an attempt to belittle a public official rather than engage constructively on the matter at hand.
He further criticised the public claim by Asiedu Nketiah that he advised the President to appoint both Hon. Haruna Iddrisu and the Interior Minister, arguing that the comment appeared to elevate personal importance while diminishing others.
Moomin stated that leadership and political appointments are matters of national responsibility and should not be used as platforms for self-promotion or the creation of perceived hierarchies among colleagues.
He concluded with a local proverb, saying: “The hunter who starts chasing too early returns home tired before sunset.”
