The Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Mr. Abraham Koomson, has cautioned the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) against becoming arrogant, complacent, or disconnected from the people following its assumption of power.

According to Mr. Koomson, the party must govern with humility and maintain continuous engagement with citizens who entrusted it with the mandate to lead the country.

Speaking on Ahotor FM on Saturday, December 20, he stressed that political authority is derived from both God and the people, warning that any abuse of power could have serious consequences for the governing party.

“The NDC must understand that this power is from God. They should not get to a point where they say, ‘we are now in charge, we don’t care, what can you do?’ If they begin to think that way, it will not end well for them,” he cautioned.

Mr. Koomson also reiterated an earlier call for the NDC to strengthen its grassroots structures across the country, noting that many party supporters and ordinary citizens are already expressing concerns about being sidelined.

He emphasised that effective governance requires accessible systems that bring government closer to the people, rather than centralising problem-solving at the Jubilee House.

“If the NDC wants to remain in power, there must be strong and functional grassroots structures.

You cannot expect everyone to come to the Jubilee House to have their issues addressed,” he stated.

Drawing on historical lessons, Mr. Koomson warned that governments which misuse political power often suffer dire consequences, urging the NDC to exercise restraint, responsibility, and humility in managing state authority.

He concluded that only accountable and people-centred governance would enable the party to sustain public trust and political support.
