James Agbey has called for calm among the party members
A leading operative of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), James Agbey, has called for calm among party supporters following disturbances at the NDC’s national headquarters on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
In a statement issued on Thursday February 27, 2025, Agbey expressed deep concern over the protests, emphasizing that such actions serve as an unnecessary distraction from the government’s urgent responsibilities.
“These public manifestations are a needless distraction from attending to the pressing needs of the nation. Our government has urgent and pressing concerns that directly affect the lives and livelihoods of the Ghanaian people. It is imperative that we, as party activists, focus our energy on helping the government resolve these issues,” he said.
Acknowledging that some grievances may be valid, Agbey urged supporters not to allow frustration to overshadow reason.
He pointed out that President John Dramani Mahama has been in office for just over a month and has already made significant progress in governance, political participation, and appointments.
“President Mahama has done fairly well in all aspects of governance so far. He needs the support of everyone to make his vision a reality for the collective good of the NDC and Ghana,” he stated.
Agbey also cautioned against using open confrontation and inflammatory public statements to express dissatisfaction, warning that such actions could be detrimental to the party’s image and unity.
“Our actions must serve our people and benefit the country and the party we all love. Let us strive to uphold prudence, reason, and dignity in our words and actions for the good of the NDC and Ghana,” he urged.
The call for calm comes amid growing tensions within the party, with some members reportedly voicing concerns over internal matters.
Agbey’s appeal is seen as an effort to prevent internal divisions from overshadowing the party’s broader goals.
