Babgin, who is the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament is alleged to have made comments suggesting that appointees under the erstwhile NDC administration were corrupt.
“Don’t tell me that the boys that suddenly came closer to the president [ads1]within four years can build mansions and buy land cruisers and you say there are no resources, where are they getting the money, their salaries?”, he said.
While addressing NDC supporters in the Volta Region, he also said: “The pillars that support you when you’re up there, are the pillars you have to fortify to continue to carry you up there, when you weaken them, you fall. You can put something on nothing. We have to change.”
However, Kofi Adams thinks such comments from the experienced lawmaker is intended to destroy the party.
“I’m scandalized by his comments and it should not be coming from somebody who is seeking to lead the party like the NDC. He should be worried why his vote has dwindled over a period,” he said.
“If truly, Mr Bagbin is not out there to destroy the party,…he must be careful with what he says. But for some of us, it is becoming very clear that it is an agenda to destroy the party not to want to lead it. Because if truly he wants to lead the party he will not be speaking the way he is speaking”, he added.
Alban Bagbin is contesting with the likes of Ekow Spio Garbrah, Joshua Alabi, Sylvester Mensah for the position of NDC flagbearer for the 2020 general elections
