Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has stunned political observers by declaring his unwavering support for a recent move by NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, despite admitting that the two have had serious disagreements in the past.
In a candid statement that has sparked conversations across the political landscape, Anyidoho revealed that while his relationship with Asiedu Nketiah has not always been smooth, he believes the chairman’s latest action is worthy of praise and deserves backing from all well-meaning Ghanaians.
“Even though I had issues with Asiedu Nketiah, I support his move 100%,” Anyidoho stated, making it clear that personal differences should never stand in the way of supporting decisions that serve the national interest.
His remarks have drawn attention because of the long-standing tensions that have existed between the two political figures. Over the years, Anyidoho and Asiedu Nketiah have publicly clashed on several issues within the NDC, making his endorsement all the more surprising.
Political analysts say the statement demonstrates a rare moment of maturity in Ghanaian politics, where individuals often remain entrenched in personal rivalries. By openly backing a former adversary, Anyidoho appears to be sending a message that principles and good governance must take precedence over personal grudges.
The former NDC communicator stressed that when a decision is right, it should be acknowledged regardless of who takes it. According to him, leadership requires honesty and objectivity, even when it involves giving credit to someone with whom one has previously disagreed.
His comments have already triggered mixed reactions among party supporters and political observers, with some praising his statesmanship while others speculate about what the endorsement could mean for future political dynamics within the NDC.
As discussions continue, Anyidoho’s unexpected show of support for Asiedu Nketiah is being viewed as a significant political moment—one that underscores the importance of putting national and institutional interests above personal differences.
