We Made You Speaker Of Parliament, But You Are Pursuing Your Own Interest – Sammy Gyamfi Fires Bagbin

The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) must no more regard Mr Alban Bagbin as an NDC Speaker of Parliament even though he got to that position on the party’s ticket, National Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi has said.

In a harangue posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, 4 March 2021, Mr Gyamfi accused Mr Bagbin and the leadership of the Minority of Parliament of betraying the party by approving some of President Nana Akufo-Addo’s ministerial nominees despite the express wishes of the leadership of the NDC that those ministers-designate be blocked.

“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”, Mr Gyamfi said, adding: “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 completely”.

To him, “the current leadership have lost their moral authority to lead and are not fit to sit on the front bench of the NDC side of the house”.

“More importantly”, he noted, “it’s about time we understood that we don’t have any NDC Speaker of Parliament”.

“No, we don’t!” he stressed in reference to Mr Bagbin, complaining: “We have a Speaker who rode on the back of the NDC into Office to pursue his own parochial agenda and nothing more”.

“You trust them at your own peril”, he warned members and supporters of the NDC.
