The NDC, on Saturday June 10, 2017, celebrated its 25th anniversary.
The anniversary which was under the theme "Mirroring the Past Into the Future" saw in attendance the party's founder Jerry John Rawlings, Ex-President John Dramani Mahama, and National Executives among other dignitaries.
Addressing a gathering during the function, the founder, Mr. Rawlings advised the party leadership and members to return to the core values of the party.
He urged them to ensure the principles of probity, accountability, transparency, reconciliation and unity within the party.
Speaking on 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM regarding the 25th anniversary of the NDC, PNC General Secretary, Atik Mohammed expressed disgust over the emergence of the party.
He says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a "mistake" in Ghana's political history.
According to him, the NDC came into being as a result of a coup d'état and so referred to the party as a "gang of coupees".
He noted that during the PNDC era, the party didn't set out to become the National Democratic Congress and for that matter, he strongly believes the party is a "reluctant democratic entity".
“A mistake in our political history has come to stay called the National Democratic Congress . . . It’s a huge mistake in our political history . . . When you look at how the NDC came into being. They overthrew a constitutional government; a democratically elected government . . . They didn’t set out to be a political party," he stated.

Oh Atik, common nomination forms you can't fill. The NPP will heap praises on you today but a day will come and they will pour thier venom on you. These NPP people don't see anything good in the NDC even if they see it they will pretend and its killing them slowly but surely. I have never seen a government come to power and the president's decision is challenged by vigilante groups. Where is the power. It is clear that the NPP led by Nana Addo can't rule this country. Petty petty things they can't see their way out. This government is a tragedy.
NDC is a cr!m!nal gang which has waisted 25 years of our time as a country... never again should we allow these NDC thifs to rule this country again......
IT'S YOUR OWN MISTAKE ATIK. YOU ARE PART OF SELLING CPP FOR CASH TO NDC. WHAT A DISGRACEFUL TO CPP ELDERS. NKRUMAH WOULD DIE AGAIN IN HIS GRAVE
National Destroyers Company
you have said it all and that is an undeniable fact.
NDC IS THE WORST TRAGEDY THAT HAS BEFALLEN GHANA. NDC IS A MALWARE THAT RESISTS ALL ANTIVIRUS SYSTEMS ON THE INTERNET. IF WE DON'T GET RID OF NDC, GHANAIANS WILL NEVER PROSPER!!!!!
Ei, Atik. This is poetry ... and it hurrts to hear it. In any case, NDC has developed from a raagggi/taaaggi oppooorrtuniiistic 'socialists' to Armani suit wearing - first class air travelling' - and sellllfish property-grabbing and steealing bunch who still daaarre to say they are social-democrats (an ideology their GS rightly says they do not understand). And decent and innocent people were shorrt or kiiilled so this group will have it well in life!!! Nuff, nuff ...
Of course Atik is right. Is The NdC a political party at all?This congregation of all that is unholy in our dear country is a blight on our political landscape.After independence the NDC is the party that has had the biggest opportunity to serve Ghana. What have we seen under NDC. Untold suffering, l00t1ng of the treasury,destruction of the environment,complete ravaging of the economy.And by the way the NDC has the distinctive honour of producing the most inept, corrupt,callous,insensitive leader ever in the annals of Ghana's history.The NDc is no party, It is simply an amalgamation of all the evil forces in Ghana.They don't even realise how detestable they are to the people of Ghana.We will make sure their rigging stunts are ended for good. We should all jubilate when the NDC is no more.
ATIK, PLEASE SAY IT AS IT IS. THAT CONTRAPTION CALLED NDC IS TRAGEDY ITSELF!!!!!!!
I'm sure Atik's measurement of NDC identity has hit them paaaaa, listen to their response. Hahaha
