Japhet Festus Gbede, an Aide to the National Democratic Congress(NDC), First Vice Chairperson, Alhaji Said Sinare has warned members of the Johnson Asiedu Nketia camp to desist from issuing irresponsible and reckless statements intending to cause more division and strife among the party and country as a whole.
Mr. Gbede in an article expressed disappointment with a statement by Bismark Kpobi, Aide to the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia to the effect that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will sponsor the current National Chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo against his fierce rival Johnson Asiedu Nketia in the upcoming national party elections. He further describes the statement as falsehood allegations and misguided statements that breaches the party’s constitution and pose danger to party unity and national cohesion.
“Bismark Kpobi’s tribal statement and declaration that Chairman Ampofo will be sponsored by the NPP against our outgoing general secretary is a decisive sponsored attack on our party and National cohesion and a breach of our party’s constitution. It is beyond the pale for a senior dweller and a former aspirant in the last constituency election to so brazenly instigate strife and disunity in our party in pursuit of their befuddled political self-interest.” he noted.
Japhet Festus Gbede asserted that the statement sends a clear signal of a desperate candidate with parochial interest and sentiment who cannot be entrusted with a delicate position of National Chairman to foster unity and peace among all persons.
“This further exposes his candidate for his desperation for power after repeated failed “attempts,” resorting to parochial sentiments in the processMr. Bismark Kpobi’s words ring loud of extreme and mindless desperation, and such an extremely desperate team cannot and must not be entrusted with the most important job of National Chairman—a job whose core duty is that of leading, uniting, and working in the best interest of all in an ethno-religious pluralistic society as Ghana” he added
Mr. Gbede eulogized the hardworking National Chairman Ofosu-Ampofo and expressed optimism that delegates will choose him over General Mosquito due to his ability to enforce unity, equity, fairness, inclusion, and operating quality national and party policies when retained in the party’s national election.
“As the chairman of our party for the past four years, his executive council was a rare and admirable reflection of ethnic and religious diversity that has made the NDC more attractive and pleasing to floating voters, and I believe this was evident in the last election held in 2020.” he stated.

Bismark Kpobi’s Tribal Attack On Our National Chairman Is A Repulsive Act Of Desperation and should be condemned without fear or favor.
Comrades, I woke up this morning to see some issued by an aide to our outgoing general secretary, Mr. Jonson Asiedu Nketia, and I want to state that Bismark Kpobi’s tribal statement and declaration that Chairman Ampofo will be sponsored by the NPP against our outgoing general secretary is a decisive sponsored attack on our party and National cohesion and a breach of our party’s constitution.It is beyond the pale for a senior dweller and a former aspirant in the last constituency election to so brazenly instigate strife and disunity in our party in pursuit of their befuddled political self-interest.
This further exposes his candidate for his desperation for power after repeated failed “attempts,” resorting to parochial sentiments in the processMr. Bismark Kpobi’s words ring loud of extreme and mindless desperation, and such an extremely desperate team cannot and must not be entrusted with the most important job of National Chairman—a job whose core duty is that of leading, uniting, and working in the best interest of all in an ethno-religious pluralistic society as Ghana. Our party does not need this kind of highly inflammable rhetoric now or ever.
What is even more confounding is that he branded his candidate as one who has touted himself as being on a mission to unify our party’s front, but the cat has finally been let out of the bag of him, who pays lip service to unity while working hard to undermine our national and party unity. Our party members and delegates know far better than what Bismark Kpobi thinks and will not walk down that slippery slope with him.
It appears that Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia and his campaign team want to cause more division and strife in our country than they have done in our party.Our party bravely supported the development of a candidate from the Eastern Region in opposition to Asiedu Nketia’s schismatic tendencies as a sign of our patriotic and democratic dedication to party and national cohesion, equity, and fairness.
That is the dedication Chairman Ofosu Ampofo brings to his ambition to serve as our national chairman, and it is what the NDC needs right now and forever.As the chairman of our party for the past four years, his executive council was a rare and admirable reflection of ethnic and religious diversity that has made the NDC more attractive and pleasing to floating voters, and I believe this was evident in the last election held in 2020.
I am just as confident he will enthrone equity, fairness, inclusion, and unity as operating national and party policies when retained in this year’s national election, as we urge our dear delegates to do.I want to use this very opportunity to warn my brother, Mr. Bismarck Kpobi and all the young people at the camp of Hon. Johnson Asiedu Nketia that, Politics does not confer on anyone the license to be irresponsible and reckless when issuing statements for public perusal.
Thank you,
Japhet Festus Gbede An aide to H.E Alhaji Said Sinare
