Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged party supporters in the Zabzugu Constituency to remain loyal, patient, and united, cautioning that internal frustrations should not translate into actions that could weaken the governing party.
He appealed on Tuesday, May 19, during a meeting with constituency executives and members, where concerns were raised about employment opportunities and delays in the distribution of political and development-related benefits under the current administration.
Addressing the gathering, Asiedu Nketiah acknowledged the concerns but stressed that political and economic opportunities within government structures are not distributed simultaneously or evenly.

He explained that governance processes take time and that different individuals and groups will benefit at different stages of the government cycle.
“You don’t all reap your benefit at the same time because whatever happens, you cannot have opportunities to go around everybody at the same time and in the same year. Some would have to benefit today, and then tomorrow will be your turn,” he stated.
The NDC Chairman cautioned supporters against actions that could undermine the party in power, insisting that unity and patience remain essential for delivering on campaign promises and sustaining public confidence.
He urged members to stay committed to the party’s long-term agenda rather than allowing short-term frustrations to affect internal cohesion.
As part of his message, he drew a comparison with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), questioning whether aggrieved supporters would gain better opportunities by abandoning the NDC for another government.
He emphasised that despite challenges, remaining within the party offers a better chance of benefiting from future opportunities than disengagement or internal division.
The meeting formed part of ongoing engagements between the party leadership and grassroots structures to address concerns over job access, development projects, and political expectations following the party’s return to power.
