The senior partner and co-founder of Africa Legal Associates (ALA), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has said that contrary to the views held by a cross-section of Ghanaians, he is not a politician.
Otchere-Darko was recently named one of the 50 most influential Africans by The Africa Report, a leading international news magazine.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Accra-based Starr FM on Thursday (18 January), Otchere-Darko said he has no interest in holding political office.
“… I prefer to strategise rather than to be the one to lead. I’m not swayed by titles. I am swayed by getting the job done,” he said.
“A lot of people describe me as a politician, but I am not. I think sometimes my wife doesn’t believe I am not.
“I have never been a politician. I have been a journalist. I have been a public figure, I believe in a political ideology and I push it. But it doesn’t make me a politician,” Gabby added.
