The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin is accusing some NDC Members of Parliament of engaging in propaganda politics.
Mr Bagbin who is also an NDC flagbearer aspirant said the recent list of MPs purporting to support the candidature of ex-president John Mahama was dubious.
The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament made the comment in an interview during his tour of the Volta Region.
There was controversy in Parliament when a list of 94 MPs claiming to support Mr Mahama’s 2020 bid popped up.
According to Clement Apaak, MP for Builsa North out of a total 106 MPs in Parliament, 94 of them have thrown their weight behind ex-president John Mahama.
He said the endorsement is a testimony of Mr Mahama’s continued popularity in the party and the need for him to be reelected to lead the party to victory in the 2020 elections.
But that list has been challenged by his colleague MPs many of whom claimed they were tricked into signing the list.
Yunyoo Constituency MP Joseph Bipoba Naabu who protested the inclusion of his name in the list said he was made to believe the list was for attendance in Parliament and not endorse the ex-president.
According to him, about 50 MPs on the list have since protested.
Another flagbearer hopeful Prof Joshua Alabi has since challenged Clement Apaak to make the list public.
In his first public comment on the matter, Alban Bagbin suggested the list was dubious.
“The gospel of truth, the gospel of doing things right, the gospel of representing our people are serving and sacrificing for our people and not over them.
“I am in Parliament and I am aware of what happened in Parliament. Recently a group of young MPs came out to say that 94 of them had supposedly signed a list in support of one of the yet to be declared aspirant of the position of flagbearer.
“I don’t want to go into this but see that as part of the propaganda politics we have in this country,” he stated.
According to him, 50 of the MPs who were on the list later came to him to explain that they were not told the list was an endorsement of the former president.
He wants the general public to discard the propaganda.
Mr Bagbin had paid a courtesy call on Asogli Chiefs in the Volta Regional capital, Ho, to ask for their blessings.

What record did join mahama left for somebody to campaign on? if he had a record he wouldn't have been humiliated like that. What do you in the ndc take Ghanaians for? look, Prof. Mills got the chance on the run off that's something you need to put in your minds that you didn't win the 2008 elections on a silver platter, you found it tough because Nana Addo eon the first round short of the 50+1 he had 49.7% and lost in the round off because the other small parties fell to your propaganda of sharing positions with them which never happened when you got the chance. You people are laughable when you think it will be easy for you to come back with nothing absolutely nothing to show except sharing of V8s to some so called celebrities, Akua Donkor etc and how did that help Ghanaians? Your propaganda of if you see black say white, suba Gyeeda nkomfem fly away to Burkina, DKM, God is Love etc who runaway with money Ghanaians deposited, arrogance, wickedness, insults, Yentie Obiaa, pomposity, inflation of contracts, propaganda of nonexistent projects, ste*ling, incompetence noisy on the airwaves and I can go on and on. All contributed to the anger of the people to boot you out and who told you they want you back with these your characters which you are still exhibiting tweeeeaaa! How do you tell the people you have changed? Nothing is showing ,you are still showing gross incompetence in opposition, Ghanaians don't like you so don't think you are coming any moment from now. The fact that they sometimes complain shouldn't give you false hope they want you, because they know all the difficulties the government and the people are experiencing are due to ndc gross mismanagement. When Ndc came to power in 2009 they met money in the consolidated fund which made create for themselves judgement debts, they met NHIS, SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM which gave their women organizers work to do, FREE MATERNAL CARE, YEP which ndc changed to Gyeeda and a lot of social interventions tell me what ndc left in 2016 for you to seek a return? you coming back to ste*l again is that what Ghanaians are bringing you to do?you joking!
So as a discerning legislator who wants to be President of Ghana, you genuinely think you’re more desirable as President over John Mahama?! Whose record will you be campaigning with anyway? Incestous loser!
Bagbin is putting knife at his on throat. Any NDC flagbearer aspirant who will speak evil about JM is like digging his on grave. Just tell delegate what u wish to bring onboard than attacking JM. Being senior in NDC does not make u equal to JM. accept it and move on Attack JM and forget about politics
Oh Bagbin are you complaining about Ndc propaganda? Is it not the core machinery of your party. You don't want ***barred word*** to start from home? Please propaganda is your language speak it at home and outside. Nothing can change Ndc from propaganda. If propaganda is taken from Ndc it will die that is Ndc blood. Please counter the with propaganda.
