Tribalistic Bawah Mogtari is a liability to NDC; sack her now - Dr. Duffuor’s camp urges party leadership

The head of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s 2024 Security Detail, James Agbey is demanding the dismissal of Joyce Bawah Mogtari from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

This follows an alleged social media post by the Aide of former President John Dramani Mahama which accused the people of Ashanti of always causing problems.

“It is always the Ashantis! Always causing problems with their unnecessary egos. This defeatist approach won’t work. John Mahama is NDC and NDC is John Mahama,” the post said.

Taking offense to the alleged post, James Agbey from the camp of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has issued a press release describing Joyce Bawah Mogtari as tribalistic.

The head of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s security detail insists that the leadership of the NDC must crack the whip and sack Mrs Mogtari immediately.

“I am by this public statement calling on the National Executive Committee of the NDC to sack Joyce Bawah Mogtari from the party for bringing the name of the party into disrepute.

“This is a woman who together with her husband have been feeding fat on the party. She was a minister of state while the husband occupied the CEO position of the Food and Drugs Board. Now, both husband and wife still want to continue to eat with both hands and so they are out there engaging in tribal sentimentalism,” James Agbey said in his release.

He added, “It is a tragedy that in AD 2023, ethinic politics and the hatred for the Ashantis has re-entered the NDC mainstream politics through a toxic amalgam of spillover from vilification of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor.

“Surely, the NDC can do better than this, and recognise the fact that Joyce Bawa is a liability, and that she deserves to be sacked from the party.”

Meanwhile, Joyce Bawah Mogtari has reacted to the alleged tribalistic comment. According to her, she never made such a post about Ashantis.

“Kindly ignore this uncultured disinformation,” she said in a post on Twitter.
