Accra: A member of the communication team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hamza Suhuyini, has expressed deep concern over recent public comments made by the party's General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey. He warned that some of the utterances from Kwetey could undermine internal unity and negatively affect the party's future electoral fortunes.
According to Ghana Web, Suhuyini, while speaking on Channel One TV on January 31, 2026, emphasized that the general secretary's remarks are driven by principle and loyalty to the party, rather than opposition. Suhuyini, who supported Kwetey's candidature, stated that he felt free to express his concerns publicly as part of his democratic principles within the party. He stressed the importance of measured public statements, especially when the party is in government.
Suhuyini pointed to specific instances, citing remarks made in Kumasi where Kwetey allegedly suggested that some party members were lobbying to protect members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Suhuyini expressed concern that such statements could foster doubt and suspicion among the party's ranks, complicating internal trust and unity.
Further concerns were raised about comments made during activities in the Volta Region marking the June 4th Revolution, where Kwetey reportedly called for President John Dramani Mahama to seek a third term. Suhuyini cautioned against labeling proponents of this idea as sycophants, as it may deepen internal divisions within the party.
Suhuyini also mentioned the recent introduction of the word 'greed' into political discourse, warning against rhetoric that could alienate government appointees and party executives. He underscored the necessity of maintaining unity and cooperation within the party to secure future electoral success.
In conclusion, Suhuyini reaffirmed his confidence in Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, highlighting his long-standing support for the general secretary. He emphasized that his criticism stems from a place of trust and commitment to the party's success, urging Kwetey to consider the implications of his public statements.
