The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged its members to remain calm and composed despite frustrations over unmet expectations from the government.
Justice Yeboah, a Special Aide to the party’s National Chairman, acknowledged concerns among members who had anticipated appointments and government contracts following the party’s return to power.
Speaking at the TEIN-USTED Freshers’ Week Celebration in Kumasi, he stressed that constructive engagement is a better approach than attacking institutions or criticizing government officials over perceived neglect.
He noted that if loyal members want the party to retain power in the next election, they should allow the government to govern without disruption.
“If the government is unable to govern peacefully due to disruptions and violence, it will lead to a more severe crisis, which is unlikely to help the party maintain its position of power,” he said.
Mr. Yeboah clarified that the President and government appointees do not intend to ignore members who contributed to the party’s electoral victory.
He expressed confidence that hard work would be rewarded, stating that by the end of President Mahama’s tenure, contributors to the party’s success would be duly recognised.
He also cautioned party members who have been vocal in criticising government appointees, urging them to adopt a more measured and constructive approach.
Mr. Yeboah called on party executives to engage members and keep them informed about the workings of the government, adding that unity and discipline will be key to future success.
