Hon Nikyema Billa Alamzy, the Member of Parliament for Chiana Paga, has cried out that his own party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), cannot be in power and yet his constituency is still suffering.
According to the Chiana Paga MP, his constituency has been left without meaningful opportunities.
Nikyema Billa Alamzy further highlighted that he does not understand why the party’s Chairman will go on a Thank You tour.
He emphasised that the people who voted massively for the NDC are not benefiting from the party.
Speaking in an interview on Joy NEWS, Nikyema Billa Alamzy stated, “Our party cannot be in power, and we will still be suffering. In my constituency, what are they coming there to thank us for? You’ve not given us an appointment, and youth employment is zero. What are you coming to thank us for?
“In my constituency, Chana Paga constituency, what are they coming there to thank us for?
“Come and let’s talk and know that this is what we need, this is what we are lacking. Our government cannot be in power and we will still be suffering,” he reiterated.
Meanwhile, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has finally disclosed why he is on a “Thank You Tour”.
The NDC Chairman revealed that his Thank You tour is to appreciate party executives and grassroots organisers for their contributions to the party’s 2024 Election victory.
According to Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the NDC campaign was in three folds, one led by President John Dramani Mahama, another by the Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and the third by the National Chairman.
Asiedu Nketiah highlighted that while President Mahama focused on the presidential race, he was tasked with steering the parliamentary campaign.
Speaking to party executives and members in the Akuapem North Constituency on Thursday, September 18, 2025, Asiedu Nketia stated, “Indeed, it is true that President Mahama is already thanking Ghanaians in regional capitals. When I was coming, people were saying the president had already thanked us, so what am I coming to do? I told them, during the campaign, the President took his part, and I also took my party, so the places I went to campaign, I informed them after the election, and NDC won, I would come back to thank them. So that is why I am here today”.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah’s three-day tour, scheduled for September 17 to 19, 2025, will cover 16 constituencies in the Eastern Region.
Meanwhile, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has warned the former Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak, and Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, following their social media comments.
Recall, Ras Mubarak bluntly told the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, not to hide behind his Thank you tour” to advance your premature presidential ambitions.
The former lawmaker highlighted that Asiedu Nketia is setting a dangerous precedent with his Thank You Tour across the country.
According to Ras Mubarak, never in the NDC’s history has a National Chairman after an election victory decided he is going on a “Thank You Tour”.
He emphasised that, thank you, tours are led by Presidential or Parliamentary candidates.
Reacting to the brouhaha on Accra-based Asempa FM, Mustapha Gbande stated, “The needless distraction and the conversation around the Chief of Staff is doing this, and this one is doing that. There is no trouble in the NDC. Why are we inviting trouble? The two NDC Ras Mubarak and the MP, the next time they do that, we are going to invite them and reprimand them”.
He added, “We don’t run our party on social media. The MP who responded to Ras Mubarak does not understand communications better than the national chairman. This is what brings distraction. The General Secretary is alive and well; he is in charge of this party.
He has deputies, myself, Barbara, and we are in charge of this party, and we have a national organiser. If something is wrong, we will act upon it. It is not for you to be on social media without talking to your party leadership; you are determining what is legal and illegal. Is he a party officer? We don’t want the party to be rocked with needless destruction”.
