Sad News Hits New Democratic Congress (NDC)

Nana Kwaku Oboadie, a prominent journalist known for his support of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed disappointment over what he describes as the party’s failure to recognise his contributions. The media personality reportedly made the remarks during a live broadcast, revealing that years of defending the party have brought him little support or appreciation.

Oboadie said he had consistently used his media platform to promote the NDC but had received neither financial assistance nor employment opportunities in return. He explained that the situation had left him feeling abandoned despite his longstanding commitment to the party.

The journalist also disclosed that he would consider joining a media organisation associated with the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) if offered an attractive financial package. According to him, personal responsibilities and the need to provide for his family must now take priority over political loyalty.

He maintained that he would not allow public criticism to determine his decision if an opportunity arose elsewhere. Having devoted considerable time and energy to supporting the NDC, he believes he has earned the right to pursue opportunities that offer greater personal and professional benefits.

His comments have reportedly generated mixed reactions among political observers and social media users. While some NDC supporters have expressed disappointment over the possibility of losing a vocal ally, others have sympathised with his frustration and questioned how political parties treat loyal media supporters.

The controversy has also renewed discussions about the expectations placed on journalists who openly support political organisations. Oboadie’s experience, as he describes it, highlights concerns about whether parties adequately acknowledge individuals who consistently defend their interests in the media.

He has also urged fellow journalists to carefully consider the consequences of aligning themselves with political parties, warning that loyalty does not necessarily guarantee financial security or professional advancement.

Oboadie’s remarks could serve as a reminder to political organisations that maintaining relationships with supporters requires more than public praise. For now, he appears determined to prioritise his livelihood and pursue opportunities where his work and contributions are valued.
