A senior member of the Ashanti Regional communication team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abass Nurudeen says he is shocked by the decision of one of the party’s communicators to defect to the opposition New Patriotic Party.
Nurudeen in a statement on Thursday said, “I certainly did not know what his [Awal Mohammed] real motives were but considering how spirited he defended the party on radio, nobody, in his wildest imagination, would believe he would pitch camp with our bitterest political opponents at this crucial moment.”
He said the occurrence was unfortunate for the party in the Ashanti Region but exposed the plight of NDC communicators in the region.
Abass Nurudeen lamented that the former NDC communicator “was doing 10 radio stations a week on the average at his own expense but has been unemployed for four years.”
“So how did anyone expect a married man with two kids like Awal to survive if the ruling party cannot take proper care of its working foot soldiers. What on earth will be the motivation to keep dying for it? But then All this is as a result of leadership paralysis on the communication from in the Ashanti region.”
Awal Mohammed, who was the Deputy National Communications Officer for Zongo Caucus, the official wing of National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Zongo communities on Wednesday announced his defection to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). He his defection was based on his “principles and convictions”.
He said he was disappointed the NDC did not state any policy to address concerns of the Zongo community in its recently launched manifesto. Awal Mohammed added that he believed the as a party had failed to tackle the high unemployment situation in the country resulting in untold hardship on many people.
But Abass Nurudeen in his statement said “I do appreciate the fact that different people play different roles to keep the party going but choosing to be a communicator exposes one to a whole lot of hazards and if there is nothing to show at the end of the day then it gives real cause for concern.”
“As a party, I think it is past time that we instituted welfare schemes to incentivize our rank and file lest we run the risk of losing some of our finest.
This is a wakeup call to the powers that be,” his statement concluded.

Awal has seen the light and he is delivered from this 1NSENS1TIVE NDC Party
the way Nurudeen himself is talking I think he also want to defect to another party, may PPP or NPP. Hahahaaaaaaaaa
When a frog is kept in water for long what happens? Exactly so. The man has been watching all their activities from a distance and has come out with a final decision. The NDC has been so arrogant these days and will not take any advice offered by any one. They are now heading into a ditch as it dares at them in the face. Not even Charlotte Osei can save them.
Wontumi pls open your eyes. Dont bring him closer to you guys. They want information for NDC. Let him join the queue/
As much as we welcome this guy into our party, the NPP executives must keep all vital party information and secrets from these defected guys. It could be a plot to syphon information to the ndc. Chairman Wutumi open your eyes paaa. Be very careful.
Npp be careful!! This could be a move to plant a mule in the party.
Awal you have earn my respect I always wonder why these regions and people that support NDC still remain the poorest, but is simple they use you and dump them after winning power. Well down just keep telling your people to change politicians as they feel to address their interest.
They have billions of dollars to buy golden watches for their cronies and cars for selected chiefs who would throw the hypocritical supports for them. This man is a principled politician. All Zongo people must vote against this wicked NDC.
I humbly disagree with anyone who may support these kinds of rewards,by sharing money to callers does not make u rich the governmenent should rather create good conditions for the citizens earn good paying jobs. Sorry...NPP should not follow these ***barred word***.
The guy has decided to jump out a sinking NDC ship.... The captain John Mahama is confused and panicking. The rigging machinery is collapsing...
