Mark Okraku Mantey has labelled Ola Michael a betrayer for opposing him concerning his potential appointment to the position of the deputy minister of tourism.

With the recent wave in the creative arts industry calling for Mark Okraku Mantey to be appointed as deputy minister of tourism, staunch opposition in the form of Ola Michael, Shatta Wale and others have come up.

Ola Michael expressly stated that Mark Okraku Mantey is not fit for the job despite their close relationship because Mark hasn’t delivered at the Creative Arts Council where he’s been for the past four years.

Mark Okraku Mantey expressed his shock in the development, as he could not fathom why someone who calls him brother would day such a thing in public.

According to Mark, such opposition is great for a leader like himself because it will motivate and spur him on to greatness.

“The one that I saw (opposing the campaigns) and I was surprised is Ola Michael who said I’m not fit for the deputy ministerial position because I haven’t delivered at the Creative Arts Council. [Do] you know why I’m surprised?"

"Because we eat together and we do a lot together but it is nothing. When I saw a shot (of his comment), I said it is all good because Ola is one person we did a lot of things with at the council and he knows, so if he says the council didn’t do anything, I’m wondering if the bill wasn’t passed."

"But as you take the leadership space, you should train yourself to see a lot of Judases around you. People you roll with will disagree with you and it is part of leadership."

"You must accept them and see them as another side of motivating you. And also realize that people are watching you to do the right to change the narrative,” Okraku Mantey said.
