Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has clapped back at netizens after becoming a trending topic online due to the controversial anti-LGBTQI+ bill and the resurfacing of some of his past statements.

In a post shared on X on March 31, 2026, and sighted by GhanaWeb, the minister, while responding to the backlash, stated that he is not perturbed by critics.

According to him, the old videos being circulated online by individuals he describes as “agenda-driven” will ultimately amount to nothing.

“You think you are pushing an agenda, but you are simply writing my political memoirs. I read them with delight as a testimony of the work we did and achieved. This one is a #TuffSeed, go and ask your predecessors. Nothing you say about me today is new or hasn’t been said to me before,” he said.

Further reacting to the resurfaced videos, the minister noted that they serve as proof of the role he played in helping the National Democratic Congress (NDC) return to power.

According to Samuel Nartey George, after the NDC lost the 2016 elections, his singular focus was to see the party regain power.

He added that, having contributed to that goal, he believes he has “paid his dues.”

“In 2017, when many were afraid to speak for the NDC after the massive 2016 election defeat, a few of us stood up and filled the gap. I was on TV and radio, sometimes three times a day. I was on the floor of Parliament as part of a minority of 106 against the NPP’s 169. I made sure my voice was heard.

“Today, I see old videos being sliced and reposted to push an agenda. I smile and say, ‘I have paid my dues.’ You may think you are cooking, but with each video you post, you reveal the stripes on my shoulders as I fought to bring my party, the NDC, back to power. I stood for something I believed in, the return of JM,” he added.
