NDC Western North Regional Communication Officer, Jerome K. Sam Esq., has dismissed allegations of absenteeism and greed levelled against him, urging delegates to assess his leadership based on his record and contributions to the party.
Mr Sam, who is seeking re-election as Regional Communication Officer, made the remarks while speaking to the media ahead of the party’s regional elections.
He described claims that he does not visit the region as completely false, arguing that the allegations were intended to tarnish his reputation and undermine delegates’ confidence in him.
He urged delegates to disregard what he described as unfounded claims and instead consider his commitment and contributions to the party.
Jerome K. Sam Esq. also rejected suggestions that his employment at COCOBOD while seeking to retain his party position amounted to greed.
According to him, party service is not a paid occupation but a responsibility that requires sacrifice, dedication and selflessness.
He maintained that regional executive positions should be viewed as platforms for service rather than opportunities for financial gain.
He further highlighted his efforts to use his position to create opportunities and support party members, particularly the youth.
“The true value of political appointments lies not merely in personal advancement, but in the opportunities they create for others,” he said.
Jerome K. Sam Esq. also expressed support for Chairman Big Aidoo and his team, insisting that their contributions to the growth of the NDC in the Western North Region should not be overlooked.
He argued that retaining the current regional leadership would help sustain the progress made, while promoting continuity and stability within the party.
He called on delegates to give Chairman Big Aidoo and his team another mandate, saying the region could not afford to reverse the gains made under their leadership.
