Dr Sammy Ayeh defends Baba Jamal recall, rejects comparison with Hajia Amina Adam

Government Communicator , Dr Sammy Ayeh, has defended the decision to recall Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mohammed Baba Jamal, amid public debate over alleged vote buying issues linked to the Ayawaso contest.

Dr Ayeh dismissed suggestions that the recall should be compared to the case of Hajia Amina Adam, who has been mentioned by some commentators as a government appointee.

He argued that the comparison does not hold because the two roles are not the same.

He questioned claims that Hajia Amina Adam serves on three boards, stating that only the Hajj Board has been publicly identified.

He indicated that there was no clear evidence to support assertions that she holds multiple board positions.

According to Dr Ayeh, Baba Jamal’s former position as High Commissioner carried a different level of responsibility.

He explained that a high commissioner represents the President and Ghana’s image abroad, which he described as distinct from board membership.

He maintained that the recall should therefore not be interpreted as unfair or inconsistent treatment.

In his view, the nature of Baba Jamal’s diplomatic role justified separate consideration.
