Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Recent publications alleging wrongdoing against Opoku Ahweneeh Danquah, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), is yet another unsuccessful attempt to instigate his sack, according to Abdulai Mutawakil, leader of an NPP youth group.<\/b><\/p>\n

He asserts that since his assumption of office, the GNPC boss has had to surf through sustained, unprovoked, and unfounded attacks backed by unclear motives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese latest salvos of accusations, however, prove without further doubt that they are all a part of a concerted effort to undermine Mr. Danquah\u2019s leadership, tarnish his reputation and ultimately get him fired but these schemes have thankfully hit rocks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The group, addressing the latest accusations, said Mr. Danquah\u2019s serial accusers failed to offer any substance with their deliberate omission of the full context and explained how crucial it is to recognize that GNPC operates in a competitive global market where attracting and retaining top talent is paramount.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffering competitive compensation service conditions, including allowances and salaries commensurate with industry standards, is essential to ensure the corporation\u2019s continued success and ability to deliver on its mandate for the benefit of all Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince assuming office, Mr. Danquah has spearheaded GNPC\u2019s efforts to achieve its objectives of enhancing Ghana\u2019s oil reserves and managing them for national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder his guidance, GNPC has made significant strides towards its goal of becoming a commercially viable Exploration and Production (E&P) company with its steadfast commitment to the exploratory of the Voltaian Basin in hopes of expanding the country\u2019s current reserves and contributing to the economic growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is strange, therefore, that anyone would instigate such a broad campaign to discredit his leadership and distract GNPC from its mission,\u201d the group maintains, adding that the unwavering support of the company\u2019s stakeholders shows that the GNPC boss enjoys widespread trust and confidence in his ability to lead the national oil company towards greater heights of success.<\/p>\n

As contained in recent statements from both the Board and staff union of GNPC, the Corporation remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible corporate governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative, therefore, for all well-meaning Ghanaians to reject these baseless accusations and focus on supporting initiatives that drive national development and prosperity,\u201d Mr. Mutawakil further stated.<\/p>\n

According to him, the group firmly believes that O-A Danquah deserves commendation for his outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing the oil and gas sector and rather than succumbing to sensationalism and smear campaigns, \u201clet us rally behind competent industry leaders like Mr. O-A Danquah who are dedicated to advancing Ghana\u2019s interests and securing a brighter future for all citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simply put, \u201cthe allegations against him should be viewed with skepticism and dismissed as part of a malicious attempt to undermine his achievements and derail GNPC\u2019s focus. We need to unite in support of excellence and integrity in leadership and stand firm against baseless attacks that seek to undermine our collective aspirations for a prosperous Ghana,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
