NDC Denies Receiving GH¢8m from National Signals Bureau Ahead of 2024 Elections

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has firmly refuted claims that it received over GH¢8 million from the National Signals Bureau (NSB) in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.

These denials come in the wake of a memo allegedly authored by former NSB Director Kwabena Adu-Boahene and addressed to the National Security Coordinator.

In the document, Adu-Boahene alleged that more than GH¢8 million was distributed to opposition parties for election logistics.

He further defended himself against accusations of embezzling GH¢49 million, claiming the funds were used for covert national security operations.

He also accused the Attorney General of pursuing a politically motivated prosecution.

Though Adu-Boahene did not specifically mention the NDC as a recipient, the party swiftly issued a public rebuttal, distancing itself from the alleged funding and demanding full transparency on the source and use of the funds.

Speaking in an interview on May 9, Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, NDC Deputy Director of Elections and IT, unequivocally denied any involvement.

“The people he’s talking about were the ones backing him during their recent protest. We all saw it. Why would my opponent give me resources to beat him in an election? That’s absurd,” Dr. Tanko said.

He criticized what he called a baseless narrative and suggested that Adu-Boahene should consider a plea deal, warning of a potential 25-year sentence if convicted.

Dr. Tanko also questioned the sincerity of some smaller opposition parties, hinting that they often sided with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) during key moments.

“When the NDC challenged the EC or the NPP at IPAC, those parties took their side. The NDC stayed the course, used its own resources, and dealt the NPP a heavy blow,” he added.

“The NDC has no links to these allegations—we’re not part of whatever circus this is.”
