Retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye has cautioned members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) against allowing greed to create divisions within the party as it prepares to form the next government.
Speaking at the Ashanti regional Zone Two campaign team’s victory party in Kumasi over the weekend, COP Boakye emphasised that unity and selflessness are essential for the NDC’s long-term success.
“If we care for one another, we will enter the 2028 elections with stronger strategies and renewed energy. We must avoid being divided by greed,” he said.
COP Boakye urged appointees in the incoming administration to serve with integrity and fairness, ensuring their positions benefit the party and the nation as a whole.
“Yes, we have won the election to form the next government after January 7, 2025. However, not everyone here will receive an appointment. Those who do must not use their positions to intimidate others. You must demonstrate leadership and care for your fellow party members,” he stressed.
The retired officer encouraged appointees to prioritise the collective interest over personal gain, reminding them of their responsibility to support President-elect John Dramani Mahama’s vision for Ghana.
COP Boakye acknowledged the hard work of party members during the campaign season, commending their efforts as the backbone of the NDC’s victory in the 2024 elections.
“I would like to take this opportunity to commend you all for your efforts. Your contributions have not gone unnoticed and will be rewarded by President-elect John Dramani Mahama when he assumes office with his excellent proposed policies,” he noted.
He further urged party members to maintain their focus and energy in supporting the new government to achieve its goals, laying the groundwork for future electoral success.
“At the moment, we walk with our heads held high because we have defeated the NPP in the 2024 election. Let’s use the same energy to support our elected president and appointees in bringing about positive change. This will ensure even greater rewards from Ghanaians in the 2028 elections,” he added.
As the NDC gears up to assume office on January 7, 2025, COP Boakye’s call for unity and a rejection of greed serves as a rallying cry for the party to build on its victory with a spirit of collaboration and shared purpose.
