Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has appealed to party members and sympathisers to maintain calm and unity in the face of growing concerns and frustrations within the party’s base.
In a heartfelt message circulated this week, Mr. Gbande acknowledged the genuine frustrations expressed by some supporters in recent commentary and discussions. He assured the NDC community that party leadership takes these concerns seriously and is committed to finding solutions. “Even if it is the concern of a single member, we are accountable for addressing it, let alone the sentiments of a group of committed brothers and sisters who have worked together to bring us this far,” he emphasized.
Mr. Gbande also observed that some of the narratives fueling discontent may be amplified by individuals sympathetic to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who, he claimed, are seeking to exploit the frustrations of NDC supporters. Nevertheless, he reaffirmed that the leadership is carefully considering all concerns as part of ongoing internal processes to make necessary adjustments, correct mistakes, and implement strategic realignments.
He encouraged party members not to lose faith in the NDC’s principles, describing the current difficulties as temporary setbacks that should not lead anyone to abandon the party’s core values. Admitting that certain actions by government appointees may have fallen short of expectations, Mr. Gbande called for patience, urging supporters to allow the leadership time to address the issues.
“When it feels as though our hopes have been dashed due to perceived betrayals, it is natural to feel aggrieved. However, it is important to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and allow time for matters to unfold,” he stated.
Mr. Gbande further advised members to remain measured in their reactions and to resist any actions that might inadvertently strengthen the hand of political opponents. Expressing confidence in the future of the party, he concluded, “Giving up on our beliefs would amount to surrendering our future. Staying focused and strong through these challenges will ultimately assure us of victory.”
