A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Committee, Bernard Oduro Takyi, popularly known as B.O.T, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to recognize and honour those who worked tirelessly for the party’s success.
According to him, many dedicated individuals who made significant contributions to the party’s victory have been neglected in President Mahama’s recent appointments.
He warned that if the President fails to acknowledge such efforts, especially his own, the NDC could suffer setbacks ahead of the 2028 elections.
Speaking in an interview on Class FM on March 7, 2025, he stated, “I want the NDC to succeed. Do you know why? I played a phenomenal role. Personally, I worked in 16 orphan constituencies, and 14 out of the 16 were won. I want to go back in 2028 to help us win even more.”
“President Mahama himself, I donated GH¢100,000 to him in cash. Out of the 16 regions, I distributed 10,500 T-shirts each, and not only that, I visited most of them more than five to six times, and the results are showing.”
BOT emphasized that his contributions were self-funded and not financed by the party.
“In 2028, I don’t need to go back and make promises; I will return to give accountability for what I have done. Everything I did came from my own hard-earned money, not party funds.
“So, you see, if you fail to empower me, fail to reward me, and I step back, there will be a loophole in 2028,” he cautioned.
When asked if he expected anything in return for his contributions, BOT responded:
“It would take a fool to do all this and expect nothing. I don’t run an NGO, and the money didn’t fall from the sky.”
