The issue of concern to many Ghanaians is what led to the "dismissal" of David Asante-Apeatu, former Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Eugene Arhin, director of communications, said Monday in a presidential statement: "The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, led Monday, July 22, 2019 the Inspector General of Police, Mr. David Asante-Apeatu., Leave on leave with immediate effect pending the retirement of the Ghanaian police on Wednesday, August 14, 2019.

"The gentleman who competed in the NDC primaries and resigned: no one can convince me that this is not a factor that led to this letter (proceed on letter of authorization) .I know it was a factor and I do not agree, this is a bad precedent " he said.

"You can not know the political tendencies of a person in session or at a glance.Chairs now know their political tendencies? Really if you use it against him (IGP), it m '39 "It's an exercise that you do not get into, and when you do, it has a lot of repercussions, and if we do not pay attention, it will burst into the face." he said.
