Speaking at the inauguration of the working committee and summit in Accra, the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo entreated the youth of the party not to be money conscious whiles working for the NDC but rather espouse and exemplify what the party stands especially in the development of the country.

Mr. Ofosu urged the party youth wing to sacrifice for the ideals of the party as they attempt to win back power from the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, government in the 2020 general elections.

“You must understand what the party stands for, the motivation for some of us to remain and kill ourselves for the party is not how much you will get for your pocket but because what the NDC tradition has done for Ghana…. Ghana only experience development when NDC is in power”. He said.
