Dambai Zongo community rejects Gbande’s Ramadan gift over alleged insults

The Dambai Zongo Community has rejected a donation of Ramadan rice from Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy Operations Director at the Presidency.

Gbande doubles as a Deputy Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

This decision followed allegations of insults and discrimination towards the community attributed to Gbande.

It is reported that Gbande stated he would use his position to block any candidate from the Zongo commnuity from becoming a Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), sparking outrage in the community.

The donation of rice, typically a welcome gesture during the month of fasting, was seen as insincere after the allegations of disrespect and disregard for the Zongo people.

This is not the first time a community has rejected a donation from a politician due to perceived insincerity.
