National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi says the
party has been betrayed by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, and the leadership
of the NDC caucus in the House.
Sammy Gyamfi said
Speaker Bagbin, Minority Leader Haruna Iddrissu and Member of Parliament for
Asawase Muntaka Mubarak, brazenly defied the leadership of the party and
betrayed the collective good for their selfish interest.
The reason for
his comments is unclear.
In a Facebook post, Mr Gyamfi
said, “Comrades, the betrayal we have suffered in the hands of the Speaker of
Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, the leadership of our parliamentary
group, particularly Hon. Haruna Iddrissu and Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, and dozens
of our own MPs, is what strengthens me to work hard for the great NDC to regain
power.”
“They brazenly defied the
leadership of the party and betrayed the collective good for their selfish
interest. And we must not let them succeed in their parochial quest to destroy
the NDC, the party that has done so much for them and all of us. The shame they
have brought on the party will forever hang like an albatross around their
necks.
“These are hard times for all of
us but we should not let the betrayal of a few quench our love for the great
NDC. Rather, let it strengthen us to fight for this party. We all have an equal
stake in this party. They are few, we are many. Some have sold their conscience
but ours is intact. And we can work together to rebuild the party from the
ashes of 3 March 2021, which I call “Black Wednesday ”- Our day of
self-inflicted shame.
“This is the time for us to
insist on the right changes in the leadership of the NDC group in parliament or
forget about them completely. The current leadership have lost their moral
authority to lead and are not fit to sit on the front bench of the NDC side of
the house. More importantly, it’s about time we understood that we don’t have
any NDC Speaker of Parliament. No, we don’t! We have a Speaker who rode on the
back of the NDC into office to pursue his own parochial agenda and nothing
more. You trust them at your own peril.”
“The hypocrites can choose to remain quiet or even condemn us
for speaking up so they can remain in the good books of the renegades. But I
and all who are pained by this act of betrayal will not keep quiet because we
don’t fear anyone and don’t wish to be in their good books. If they can defy
the party leadership and interest openly and subject all of us to public
ridicule, then they can and must also be called out openly. The NDC party is
supreme and it must be cleansed.
“Speak up, we can and must! And
let nobody stand in our way. But when all is said and done, let’s work for the
NDC with all our might and strength. Quench not your love for the party. Hope
must not die. This storm shall pass. The NDC will survive and shall bounce back
stronger for victory. So I say to you, be strong!”
