Samuel Ablordepey, a broadcast Journalist with the Network Broadcasting Company (Radio Gold 90.5), in Accra has stated that he has the pedigree that will catapult the gains of NDC in the Greater Accra Region.

“I believe that I am the best for the position and if I am elected in the forthcoming NDC polls, I will bring my expertise and experience to the doorsteps of all to recapture power in the 2020 general polls.”

Mr Ablordepey who was speaking exclusively to the Ghana News Agency on his political prowess in the capital said he was a grassroots man who had over the years endeared himself to the hierarchy of the party and believed his contributions as a Regional Communications Officer could soar their prospects in 2020.

He said he had over 10 years -experience as a political reporter and due to his affinity to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and his unalloyed interest in party assignments, he had the opportunity to become part of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) 2008 Presidential Candidate, Professor John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama campaigns, that toured the nick and cranny of the country.

My stay at the Presidency exposed me to international politics/relations, political communication and government communication and I represented my Media House at the United Nations General Assembly, covered African Union summits and ECOWAS, and attended other high level meetings in Ghana and outside.”

Mr Ablordepey was among a group of Journalists who joined the ECOWAS to monitor the Nigeria General Elections in 2015.

“To win the 2020 elections, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) needs a communications officer in Greater Accra who will be visible and show leadership; and also to develop up communications structures that will enhance the ability of all party communicators in the region for an effective and efficient communications.
