Accra, Ghana – The National Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has dismissed the petition presented during the #DemocracyUnderAttackDemo, arguing that it lacks substance and does not merit serious consideration.

Reacting to the demonstration, Gbande said the government remains focused on addressing national priorities rather than what he described as an unconvincing petition.

“That petition they have submitted today, nobody is going to have time to read it because it doesn’t make sense, and nobody is going to waste time. We have a nation to build,” he stated.

Government Should Prioritize Development, Says Gbande

According to Mustapha Gbande, the current administration’s attention is directed toward governance, economic recovery, and national development initiatives rather than responding to what he considers politically motivated actions.

He maintained that the government remains committed to delivering on its mandate and improving the lives of Ghanaians through policies and development programmes.

#DemocracyUnderAttackDemo Sparks Political Debate

The #DemocracyUnderAttackDemo has generated widespread political discussion, with organizers presenting a petition outlining concerns about governance and democratic accountability.

Gbande’s response adds another dimension to the ongoing national debate, as political parties continue to exchange views over the demonstration and its objectives.

Mixed Public Reactions

His comments have attracted mixed reactions across social media and within political circles. While some supporters agree that the government should remain focused on development, others believe every petition submitted through a lawful democratic process deserves consideration.

The discussion is expected to continue as stakeholders from across Ghana’s political landscape respond to the issues raised during the demonstration.
