A branch Women's Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sambo Fuseina, has issued a strongly-worded statement condemning what she describes as an act of “nepotism and political indulgence” following the appointment of Amina Nassar to the Hajj Board.

Nassar, the wife of the Ayawaso East MP, already serves on the governing board of Sankofa Gold. Her new appointment, according to the party's women's organizer, represents “an assault on fairness, integrity and meritocracy” within the governing party and in public office.

In the press release going viral sighted by the media, Fuseina argues that the NDC did not return to power for public positions to become “a private inheritance for a select few.”

She cited the Public Office Conduct Act of 1993 and the Companies Act of 2019, stressing that the dual appointments violate legal expectations of independence, fiduciary responsibility, and avoidance of conflicts of interest.

“This appointment tramples on the dignity of public office and sends the horrifying message that family proximity to political power now outweighs years of sacrifice and loyalty to the party,” she wrote.

The NDC Women's Organizer expressed frustration that many hardworking party activists who contributed significantly to the party’s 2024 victory have not been acknowledged or appointed, while someone already serving on a prominent board has been given an additional national role.

Although she did not mention names in her statement, she insisted that numerous dedicated grassroots members in Zongos who “sacrificed their energy, time and resources for the Mahama comeback” have been sidelined.

Fuseina described the development as “an insult” and “a slap in the face” to loyal party foot soldiers.

According to her, the appointment threatens internal cohesion, undermines public confidence and risks contradicting the leadership values President Mahama has pledged to uphold.

“It stains the image of the government. It sends the wrong signal to the grassroots. It erodes unity and creates unnecessary anger within the rank and file,” she said.

Calling for an immediate reversal, she warned that the party cannot demand accountability while promoting what she believes is selective amnesia.

“This is the time to correct the error. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Now,” Fuseina concluded.

The statement has triggered early discussions among party supporters on social media, with some backing her call for fairness in appointments while others argue that they don't know exactly who is advising the presidency to continue to commit such political blunders.
