A section of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) security taskforce members in the Ashanti Region has accused James Agbey, a close associate of NDC stalwart Larry Gbelvo-Lartey, of neglecting them despite their contributions to the party’s activities.
The disgruntled taskforce members expressed their frustration at a press conference on March 13, 2025, alleging that they were instrumental in mobilising support and executing various assignments for the party but have since been abandoned.
In a viral video circulating on social media, some members of the taskforce could be heard chanting, “You can’t use us and dump us!” as they voiced their grievances over their treatment.
Leading the press conference was one Alhaji Tanko, who accused James Agbey of deceiving them.
He claimed that despite assurances of support and recognition for their efforts, those promises have not been fulfilled.
“We put our lives on the line for the party, yet when it’s time for recognition and support, we are left behind. This is not the unity and fairness we fought for,” Alhaji Tanko said.
The accusations come at a time when internal party tensions are rising ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Meanwhile, some members are calling on the NDC leadership to address their concerns and ensure that grassroots supporters who contribute to the party’s success are not sidelined.
As of now, James Agbey has not publicly responded to the allegations, while the party leadership is yet to comment on the matter.
