Enough Is Enough: We Did Not Struggle For Sidechicks To Enjoy While Grassroots Suffer

We, the committed members of the Remember the Grassroot Movement, speaking on behalf of countless abandoned foot soldiers and loyal party workers across the country, are issuing this direct and unapologetic statement to expose the pain, frustration, and betrayal being experienced by the true backbone of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) the grassroots.

After the 2024 victory, we expected that our sweat, sacrifice, and sleepless nights would be honoured with opportunities and recognition. Instead, what have we received? Silence, arrogance, and total neglect from the very appointees and leaders we helped into power.

The grassroots is suffering. We are unemployed. We are broken. We are angry. being picked. Messages are ignored. And worse, appointments and job opportunities are being shared among girlfriends, sidechicks, family members, and political friends of the appointees people who did not contribute even a slogan to the campaign. We are not blind. We see what is happening.

There are credible reports and growing whispers across the media that people are being quietly taken into the security services. Party insiders and privileged favorites are being given jobs in silence, while the very people who carried this party on their backs are being rendered completely useless and unemployed. This is evil, and we will not accept it.

We want to make it abundantly clear: this party was not built on betrayal. This party was built on loyalty, selflessness, and struggle. If you think you can reduce us to bystanders while you reward your romantic partners and old schoolmates, then you have underestimated the anger of the grassroots.

We are giving the leadership and all appointees exactly 72 HOURS to address this injustice, come out clearly on the process of job distribution, and open opportunities to the grassroots in a fair and transparent manner.

If we do not see clear action and evidence of change, we will begin a series of civil actions to express our outrage.

Let it be known: we will rule out burning car tyres at Kwame Nkrumah Circle and other major intersections across the country to demonstrate our anger and send a message loud and clear.

You cannot treat us as tools during elections and dump us after victory. We are not fools. We are not ghosts. We are the soul of this party.

We did not fight for sidechicks. We fought for justice. And justice we shall demand.

We are not seeking handouts we are demanding what is ours. Let the 72-hour clock begin.
