Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has warned party members against using social media to address internal issues.
According to him, the NDC does not run its affairs on social media, and members must respect the party’s structures rather than making pronouncements online.
Mr. Gbande explained that the party has a General Secretary, supported by deputies and a national organizer, who are responsible for managing its affairs.
He cautioned that individuals who ignore these structures and resort to social media risk creating needless distractions.
He further stressed that such members could be invited and reprimanded by the party’s leadership if the practice continues.
Mr. Gbande urged party leaders to focus more on the grassroots, especially farmers, and ensure that policies are explained to them in clear language they can understand.
He added that the NDC is not in crisis, dismissing recent rumors as baseless.
