John is just 41 years old whilst his biological brother Samuel is right behind him with only 37 years but both of them have served in enviable capacities in the country.

John was the deputy minister for power spokesperson of John Dramani Mahama back in the day and his brother has been the deputy chief of staff special aide to Nana Akufo-Addo.

It is unclear why the two brothers decided to pursue politics in directly opposite political parties but what is clear is that it appears to be working for them both.
