"Comrades, the betrayal we have suffered in the hands of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, the leadership of our Parliamentary group, particularly Hon. Haruna Iddrissu and Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, and dozens of our MPs, is what strengthen me to work hard for the great NDC to regain power.
They brazenly defied the leadership of the Party and betrayed the collective good for their selfish interest. And we must not let them succeed in their parochial quest to destroy the NDC, the Party that has done so much for them and all of us. The shame they have brought on the Party will forever hang like an albatross around their necks.
These are challenging times for all of us, but we should not let the betrayal of a few quench our love for the great NDC. Rather, let it strengthen us to fight for this Party. We all have an equal stake in this Party. They are few; we are many. Some have sold their conscience, but ours is intact. And we can work together to rebuild the Party from the ashes of 3rd March 2021, which I call "Black Wednesday"- Our day of self-inflicted shame.
This is the time for us to insist on the right changes in the leadership of the NDC group in Parliament or forget about them altogether. The current administration has lost its moral authority to lead and needs to be fit to sit on the front bench of the NDC side of the house. More importantly, it's about time we understood that we need an NDC Speaker of Parliament. No, we don't! We have a Speaker who rode on the back of the NDC into Office to pursue his parochial agenda and nothing more. You trust them at your peril.
The hypocrites can remain quiet or even condemn us for speaking up, so they can stay in the good books of the renegades. But I and all pained by this betrayal, will not keep quiet because we don't fear anyone and don't wish to be in their good books. If they can defy the party leadership and interest openly and subject all of us to public ridicule, they can and must also be called out openly. The NDC party is supreme, and it must be cleaned.
Speak up. We can and must! And let nobody stand in our way. But let's work for the NDC with all our might and strength. Quench not your love for the Party. Hope must not die. This storm shall pass. The NDC will survive and shall bounce back stronger for victory. So I say to you, be strong!"
Comrades, the betrayal we have suffered in the hands of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, the leadership...
