Prominent lawyer and National Democratic Congress (NDC) member, Elikplim Agbemava, has urged party leadership to take swift disciplinary action in response to a viral video that shows NDC National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, giving money to controversial religious figure Nana Agradaa.
Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show, Agbemava made it clear that the matter goes beyond personal relationships or public gestures. "This is not a personal issue but those of us in sensitive positions must act in ways that reflect the expectations of our people," he said.
The video, which has stirred intense debate within and outside the party, has led to calls for accountability, particularly given the NDC's long-standing stance on transparency and principled leadership.
Agbemava warned against allowing such moments to pass without scrutiny, stating, "We cannot create a culture where every action is easily explained away, without any standard of accountability." Reflecting on the broader implications, Agbemava linked the controversy to a deeper concern about political maturity and responsibility, especially among younger leaders. "If your first contact is political power, without the benefit of life experience, these lapses become likely.
