The National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress, Joseph Yammin, has sparked discussions and debates on social media with a cryptic post following the recent appointments made by President John Dramani Mahama.
On January 21, 2025, the NDC stalwart shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter) featuring himself alongside Mustapha Foyo Gbande, the party’s Deputy General Secretary, and several other individuals at a gathering.
The picture was accompanied by a cryptic proverbial tweet: “We live in a strange world where the poor walk miles to get food and the rich walk miles to digest it.”
While his statement could be seen as a critique of modern society, where the poor struggle to secure daily meals while the wealthy have easy access to food and only need to exercise to digest it, his tweet appears to suggest that some individuals, who worked hard to ensure the party’s success in the December 7 elections, have been sidelined in favor of others who did not contribute to the party’s efforts.
Although the politician’s social media post did not explicitly reference the recent developments within the NDC party and its government, many have connected his post to the ongoing appointments.
Critics have suggested that Yammin’s post may be a response to not receiving any appointments, despite his significant contributions to the party’s electoral successes.
They also suggested that certain individuals appointed to various positions may not have been deserving, noting that some appointees recently joined the party.
In contrast, they highlighted Yammin’s long-standing loyalty and dedication to the party, implying that this could have merited a more prominent role for him.
On the other hand, many have expressed optimism that Yammin will receive the recognition and reward he deserves.
