Social media users have reacted to Joseph Yamin, the National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) cryptic post over President John Mahama’s ongoing appointments.
On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Yamin shared a photo on X featuring himself alongside Mustapha Foyo Gbande, the party’s Deputy General Secretary, and other individuals at a gathering.
The image was accompanied by a cryptic message that read, “We live in a strange world where the poor walk miles to get food and the rich walk miles to digest it.”
While the tweet appears to reflect on societal inequalities where the poor struggle for sustenance while the rich merely exercise to burn calories, it is widely believed to be a subtle reaction to the current appointments ongoing.
Many speculate that Yamin’s message may imply the fact that some individuals who played key roles in the NDC’s victory during the December 7 elections have been overlooked in favour of others who may not have contributed as much.
Although the post did not directly reference the recent appointments within the NDC, critics have quickly linked Yamin’s words to the developments.
Some have speculated that his tweet is a veiled reaction to his exclusion from the ongoing new appointments, despite his contributions to the party’s electoral success.
Others have raised concerns that certain appointed individuals may not have earned their positions, suggesting that some were newcomers to the party.
In contrast, Yamin’s long-standing loyalty and dedication to the NDC have led many to question why he did not receive a more prominent role.
Despite the criticisms, many have expressed hope that Yamin will ultimately be recognised for his hard work and rewarded with a role that reflects his commitment to the party.
