“My dad told me something that the day you accept a job or appointment, you have to write your resignation the same day. Be manly enough to walk away from any situation that doesn’t feel right to you. I can tell you [During] twenty-five years at the Bank of New York, I carried my resignation letter in my briefcase every day.

The moment I entered the government, I was ready to leave at any moment,” Boakye Agyarko said on Asempa fm Ekosii Sen. on Monday, 06/20. When asked why he did not resign voluntarily and had to wait to be fired, he explained that the details of his waiting until his discharge could be found in another conversation.

Sometimes things get in the way; passion to serve their country; My loyalty to Akufo Addo to see him succeed blinded me to a lot of things and as hopeful as people are you keep going until there comes a point where you either leave or get fired.

“For me, resignation is nothing. If you live in American culture, shooting is the norm. During my vice presidency at the Bank of New York, I had to lay off more than 300 to 400 employees; It’s a difficult thing, but it’s important. So I take it as someone gave you a job, no matter what the reason, the person gets their job back, and you as an employee have to be ready,” Agyarko said.

That’s my approach. If you serve with all your might and the person doesn’t appreciate it, move on.”If I can’t give something 100 percent, I don’t give it. My father taught me once again that half measures are never done well. As I focus on this [presidential candidacy], let me give 100 percent.

Whatever I do in life, I am 100 percent committed to not having a lukewarm attitude. Am I not worthy of being the standard-bearer of the PNP? asked he.
