In the wake of a heated debate within the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande has stepped forward to ease tensions and promote unity among party supporters.
The controversy erupted after comments made by Gbande’s junior officer, Eric Adjei, were interpreted by some as targeting a senior party member, sparking internal backlash and public debate.
In a statement addressing the matter, Mr. Gbande described Eric Adjei as a “favourite junior officer” and argued that the situation had been blown out of proportion. He appealed to party members to avoid internal rifts that could distract from the NDC’s broader goals.
Gbande clarified that his original engagement aimed to discuss structural challenges facing the party’s grassroots, not to single out any individual or focus on jobs or financial concerns. “No specific individuals were mentioned,” he stressed, explaining that the intent was to spotlight systemic issues, not ignite personal disputes.
The Deputy General Secretary revealed that he had privately cautioned Adjei over what he termed a lapse in public communication, and noted that Adjei had acknowledged the concern. Gbande went on to defend Adjei’s record, describing him as a dedicated communicator who has served the Bono Region branch of the NDC in a communications capacity since 2018.
Underscoring the need for unity and coordination, Gbande urged party communicators to keep internal differences from spilling into public arguments. He called on all supporters to remain focused and avoid misinterpretations that could threaten party cohesion, reinforcing the importance of working together toward the party’s shared objectives.
