Multi-award-winning gospel musician Evangelist Diana Asamoah has expressed interest in gaining political appointment from President John Dramani Mahama and his New Democratic Congress (NDC) government.

Speaking during her recent Akoko Abon show on Angel FM, the gospel singer, a staunch supporter of the main opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), noted that President John Mahama was elected the leader of Ghana for every citizen irrespective of their political affiliations.

She said:

"Mahama is here for all of us. I always say there is no money with NDC or NPP's name on it. So if NPP comes to power, I will spend Ghanaian money because it belongs to all of us. If NDC comes to power, I will do the same. If you look at the Ghanaian cedi, NDC or NPP have not been written on them. President Akufo-Addo or John Mahama's names have not been written on any money."

The Anopa Wim hitmaker said she had no problem with any supporter who expressed their unwavering support to any of the two parties, NDC and NPP whenever they assumed office via the electoral process.

Evangelist Diana Asamoah noted that she was waiting for the NDC to finish setting up their government, so she could go and visit President John Mahama for talks over a political appointment during his tenure.

She said she wanted the President to create a Paternity leave ministry and designate her as the minister responsible for handling the affairs there.

"Since they (NDC) have returned to power, I am waiting for them to finish getting their affairs in order so I could go to President John Mahama and ask him to appoint me as a Paternity leave minister since he has not appointed anyone for that sector yet."

Evangelist Diana Asamoah noted that despite her interest in gaining a political appointment under the NDC government, she was still loyal to the NPP and would never consider quitting them as they were her favourite party.
