He told  the NDC party foot soldiers to descend heavily on persons on the other  side of political divide who needlessly criticize the NDC.<br \/>\nHis  comment led to widespread calls for his dismissal, especially from the  camp of the opposition NPP, but President Mills still stuck with him.<br \/>\nBut  several months after that particular incident, the long-cherished dream  of many key supporters of the NDC in the Ashanti region and the  opposition NPP to see changes in the political administration has been  fulfilled, when President Mills stripped him of his ministerial  appointment.<br \/>\nInterestingly, his dismissal has been met with mixed  reaction. Whilst a group of NDC activists who were agitating for the  removal of the minister for non-performance and insensitivity to their  needs are happy, his supporters are reported to be sad.<br \/>\nSpeaking on <strong>CitiFm\u2019s Big Issues<\/strong> programme, Mr. Ndebugri who is now a staunch member of the NPP said  there could not have been any better reason for the minister\u2019s firing  after various acts of instigation embarked on by the youth.<br \/>\nHe  maintained that the minister\u2019s dismissal was necessitated by his conduct  and that President Mills only heeded to calls from the party\u2019s foot  soldiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former PNC Member of Parliament for Zebilla and a defeated aspirant for the Assembly man position in the Timonde Electoral Area in the Bawku West District of the Upper East Region, John Akparibo Ndebugri says he is dead sure that the former Ashanti Regional Minister, Kofi Opoku Manu, was dismissed as a result of his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-274250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Prez Mills Sacked Minister Because Of \u2018Irresponsible\u2019 Remark - Ndebugri - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2011\/01\/17\/prez-mills-sacked-minister-because-of-irresponsible-remark-ndebugri\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Prez Mills Sacked Minister Because Of \u2018Irresponsible\u2019 Remark - Ndebugri - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Former PNC Member of Parliament for Zebilla and a defeated aspirant for the Assembly man position in the Timonde Electoral Area in the Bawku West District of the Upper East Region, John Akparibo Ndebugri says he is dead sure that the former Ashanti Regional Minister, Kofi Opoku Manu, was dismissed as a result of his [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2011\/01\/17\/prez-mills-sacked-minister-because-of-irresponsible-remark-ndebugri\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2011\/01\/17\/prez-mills-sacked-minister-because-of-irresponsible-remark-ndebugri\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Prez Mills Sacked Minister Because Of \u2018Irresponsible\u2019 Remark &#8211;
