His appointment was hailed by many New Patriotic Party members who believed that due to his constant engagement with the grassroots supporters, he would be a conduit between them and the president. Some also believed that he was being rewarded for all the work he did to ensure that the party won the 2016 Ghanaian general election. He has been forced to dunk several rumours that he had been sacked in June 2017 for being strong willed and unwilling to accept opposing views to his. He ascertained that having been in Ghanaian politics for over 25 years, he had learnt how to deal with such rumours, which in his view were meant to distract him from the working he had been appointed to do.
