Bagbin, Haruna, Muntaka betrayed NDC – Sammy Gyamfi

Mr Sammy Gyamfi

The National Communications Officer for the
National Democratic Party (NDC), Mr Sammy Gyamfi,
has accused the Speaker of Parliament Mr Alban
Bagbin, Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrissu and
Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak and others of
back stabbing the leadership of the NDC.

Mr Gyamfi, made the assertion in a Facebook post
yesterday after what seemed to be a betrayal by
some Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) in
defying the NDC hierarchy and voting to confirm
President Nana Akufo-Addo’s ministerial
nominees.

“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,” he wrote.

Mr Gyamfi strengthened his resolve against the
betrayal saying “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 March 3, 2021, which I call “Black
Wednesday”- Our day of self-inflicted shame,”
he added.

The Communications Officer stressed that the time
had come for a change in the parliamentary
leadership of the NDC or a complete removal.

He added that; “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 is about time we understood
that we do not have any NDC Speaker of Parliament.
No, we do not! 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.”

Mr Gyamfi slammed the MPs who betrayed the party
saying that; “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.” He added that; “But I and all who
are pained by this act of betrayal will not keep
quiet because we do not fear anyone and do not
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”.

He further called on all loyal members of the
party and urged them to speak up and not let
nobody stand in the way of the NDC.

Mr Gyamfi stated that; “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.”
