Deputy General Secretary for the governing National Democratic Congress, Mustapha Gbande, has expressed concerns over some appointments by the president of Ghana.
According to him, there are persons who are currently ministers but did not contribute in any way to the victory the political party chalked in the 2024 elections.
He claims to have records of individuals he invited to join the campaign but who refused. These individuals, according to him, are currently holding ministerial portfolios and are disrespecting those whose sweat they are enjoying.
“There are people who never went anywhere, but today they are holding appointments. When we were campaigning, there were people I called to go to this area and campaign, but they didn’t go. Today, they are ministers, and nobody is talking, and they have the effrontery to rubbish party leaders,” he said on Accra-based Asempa FM.
He added that “When we were working throughout the night for the party, there were people who went to the Ashanti Region and did nothing but come and report lies to the president. They did not do anything. We’ve gone through all of this, and so if you don’t know how to say thank you, keep quiet. They did the same to me. They sponsored people to insult me, but I will deal with their bosses”.
To Gbande, their sacrifices for the party are not because of people in Accra but rather the people in the grassroots who appreciate the efforts they put in as they work to make the political party better.
He used the opportunity to warn persons who are working so hard to give Joseph Yamin a bad name to end it or they will deal with them.
