The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Fifi Kwetey has appealed to the members of the Volta Region to hold the NDC party firmly like a ‘Religion’ which is cherished by individuals who belong to that particular faith.
Fifi Kwetey made this passionate appeal during a retreat for Regional Executives of the Party at Dzodze in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region, which was on the theme “Empowering Our Base for Victory in 2024.”
According to the General Secretary, Volta Region is a stronghold for the NDC party, and that grounds must not be claimed by any opposition party.
Moreover, Mr. Kwetey lamented how the NDC had weakened in recent times as indigenes had become increasingly discouraged from identifying with the Party whiles allying with other parties.
He noted that the Volta Region remained the home for the NDC party and that rightful preference for the party must be maintained.
“Volta is the Region, where saviors of the nation come from as far as this country is concerned but we need to know who we are, and somehow, we know, who we are, and we need to start appreciating who we are”.
“Volta must appreciate NDC and back it no matter what. It should become like a religion. We need to let our people appreciate that this is what we are. And I believe if we knew who we were, the situation where the love for this party would start dwindling in this region should not happen”, he added.
The General Secretary continued to advise the executives by saying that “we need to let our people appreciate that this is who we are. There is nothing shameful about it”.
“You talk to some of our young people from Volta and they think it is something of pride to say ‘yea, we are not like our forefathers and uncles, and we believe that we should not continue with that.”
