Former Works and Housing Minister, Samuel Atta Akyea, has revealed that the decision by the President not to appoint him as minister in his second term in office came as a disappointment.
According to him, the decision not to appoint him again was a misjudgement on the part of the president.
He noted that the president is aware of his qualities and knows the impact he could have made.

However, he thinks maybe his fortunes and shine did not lie in the Akufo-Addo government and may be with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s government.
Atta Akyea was speaking to Roselyn Felli in an interview on Raw Roselyn when he made this known.
“It was the judgement of the president that the guy who succeeded him, the gentleman who worked in his law office and the man who he was praying that one day he should become the Okyehene, he decided that I should step aside,” he said.

He continued, “It was a big disappointment. I also believe that it was an error of judgement because if you measure my commitment to the man and my proven record with him, he should have known that nobody can give him loyalty, the best output, commitment and he’s aware of these things and private things we’ve done together”.
“When one door is closed, many more are opened and God knows best. For all you know maybe I would have been in big trouble if I continued as a Minister. I believe whatever happened happened but we are soldering on and in this game of politics you don’t know where you’ll function best. Maybe my fortunes are with Bawumia and not Akufo-Addo”.
