A member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu has opened up on life after serving as General Secretary of his party.
According to him, it was only after he was voted out of office that he realised he has been missing out on a lot of things including bonding with his kids.
Speaking to Joy News, John Boadu disclosed that his son didn’t even really know who he was and recently asked him if he is ‘John Boadu or Akufo-Addo’.
“I was missing a lot, I didn’t even know. Weeks ago, my son asked me ‘Daddy are you John Boadu or Nana Akufo-Addo?’ I was confused and asked him ‘Why are you asking me this question?’ he said one of his mates asked him whether his father is John Boadu or Nana Akufo-Addo. So I asked him what answer he gave and my son said he doesn’t know,” the former NPP General Secretary said.
John Boadu continued, “And this is because he sees me once in a while. In the morning some people come to my house, we have a meeting, and we leave and return in a week’s time. Sometimes I return and he’s gone to school so there was little interaction. So I can only imagine what my elder children went through,” he recounted. If it wasn’t for this defeat I wouldn’t have known.”
He believes that his defeat was an opportunity for him to take a step back and get involved in other parts of his life and that of his family.
Insisting that it was all part of God’s plan to shape him, John Boadu added that he now gets to help his son with his homework and even attends PTA meetings.
