On Saturday at the Bolgatanga Nursing Training College, the Upper East Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Lambon, addressed an enthusiastic gathering of TEIN students. The air buzzed with anticipation as students from eleven institutions and youth organizers across the region came together for a special mentoring event.
Abraham Lambon began by highlighting the purpose of the gathering: “We are here to learn from those who have walked this path before us. The best way to grow is to listen to our experienced party members, understand their journey, and carry those lessons into our own communities.” The goal, he explained, was not just personal growth but the betterment of the region and Ghana as a whole. “The party’s current agenda is only starting,” he reminded them, “and it’s up to the youth to keep its momentum alive.”
To drive home his message, Lambon shared a story: Once, a wealthy landlord decided to test the loyalty of his servant, who had served faithfully for over ten years. The landlord confided in his wife, saying, “If this man passes my test, I’ll set him up in business so he can uplift others in our community.” In this tale, Lambon drew a parallel to President John Dramani Mahama, who, recognizing the loyalty and hard work of party members, had appointed credible ministers as a test of trust and service.
Lambon warned, however, that not all had lived up to this trust. He cited the example of Mr. Hanan from the region of the previous government, who he alleged had stolen government funds, a model he urged other appointees not to emulate. “My plea to the appointees of John Mahama is this: remember, you have been entrusted with your roles to help the ordinary people, especially those who sacrificed for the party’s victory. Do not repeat past mistakes. Let appointments pass through party structures so that the youth and loyal members benefit.”
Recalling the sacrifices made during the party’s years in opposition, including the tragic loss of his colleague from Bono East, Lambon emphasized that now was the time to reward loyalty and hard work. “If we see those sacrifices ignored, we will not hesitate to mobilize and demand justice for our youth.”
He also celebrated recent successes, announcing that through the efforts of the National Youth Organizer and the National Care Coordinator, every institution in the region had secured local scholarships for ten needy students each , a tangible fruit of the party’s governance.
Lambon closed by urging students to network, learn, and identify mentors among the dignitaries present: “In politics, your biggest asset is your network. Seize this opportunity to connect and grow.”
The event drew a remarkable array of party dignitaries and political figures from both within and beyond the region, marking it as a memorable and inspiring day for the youth of the Upper East.
