The National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has reacted to what appears to be a subtle jab from the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, on his (Nketiah’s) ‘Thank You Tours’.

The NDC National Chairman is reported to have said that Haruna Iddrisu, the Education Minister, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Tamale South, “misunderstood” his actions.

He indicated that he “ignored” the criticisms because the motive of the “Thank You Tour” was misunderstood.

“Haruna Iddrisu misunderstood my 'Thank You Tour', so I ignored him,” a caption attributed to Asiedu Nketiah on a JoyNews newscard read.

What Haruna Iddrisu said:

Speaking in Sawla in the Savannah Region on Friday, May 22, 2026, Haruna Iddrisu remarked, “I recall when President Mahama came for his thank you tour, not the other thank you tour, the proper thank you tour of President Mahama as President and flagbearer.”

He added, “What cannot be said? We can say it. A proper thank you tour of President Mahama, not the curtain-raiser one.”

The comment, which drew laughter from the audience, is alleged to reflect Haruna Iddrisu’s interest in the upcoming NDC flagbearership race.

His remarks were widely interpreted as a jab at Asiedu Nketiah, who is currently engaging party leaders nationwide in his own “Thank You” tour as part of an alleged vision to lead the NDC.
