He said it was only through unity, sense of oneness and dedication that could help the NDC to grow from strength to strength in the constituency. Mr Ackon reminded the executives about what the spirit of togetherness could achieve and encouraged them to avoid backbiting and power struggle since that would not augur well for the development of the party.
