North Tongu Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has taken a swipe at his fellow members of the Minority caucus for approving the nominations of President Akufo-Addo. The lawmaker described the MPs who broke ranks in approving the nominees as fifth columnists. According to him, they did not act in good conscience, with honourable intentions, and in the national interest. "If they did, why are they hiding in rat holes and afraid to publicly own up and defend their treachery." He further described them as traitors who should have expressed their position when they were being whipped by leadership on the need for the Minority MPs to vote against the nominations. In an opinion piece, the MP lamented that what his colleagues did could affect the image of the party and take years to repair. "The damage these Judases and Esaus have done to our party’s brand and public trust in our caucus may take decades to repair. As we struggle to rebuild public confidence in the NDC, may the treacherous elements be exposed and may the Good Lord forgive them their trespasses. If we cannot be trusted in opposition when crumbs are at stake, how do we expect the Ghanaian people to send us into government where we shall be entrusted with all of Ghana’s resources?" He added "If privileged party elites conduct themselves in this manner at the top, what are we inviting our party agents at the branches to do on December 7, 2024, when they are tempted? I must, however, salute the over 90 gallant NDC MPs who refused to bow to Baal and kept faith with the suffering masses. It is worth pleading with Ghanaians to at least recognise that a clear majority of NDC MPs did not participate in this grand betrayal — that should offer some compensation and some genuine hope. As heart-wrenching as this episode has been, we fervently pray that the good people of Ghana and our loyal party members would not give up on us. Please find a place in your hearts to forgive us; and watch us work extra hard like never before, and with the purest of integrity as we seek to regain your trust and save our dear country, particularly in this period of self-inflicted economic crisis."
