In an address, Mr Anthony Gingong, National Co-ordinator of TEIN, reminded the leadership of youth wings of the NDC to always pursue profitable ventures for an accelerated growth of the party. "You should do away with arrogance, backbiting, divisiveness, internal wrangling and unhealthy practices that can thwart the party's efforts to come back to power", he noted. He entreated the new executives to put in place vibrant measures to increase the party's membership.

Alhaji Hamidu Mohammed, Oforikrom constituency chairman of the NDC, cautioned well-meaning supporters to desist from defecting from the party when they do not win elections.

He called on supporters to avoid being opportunistic but endeavour to seek the overall interest of the party in spite of their individual differences.

Mr Armah gave the assurance that the new executives would co-operate with stakeholders in the party in whatever they do.
