THE MARK OF A TRUE SERVANT LEADER: Why Grassroots Work Defines Abass Mohammed Amogobo

Offinso South – Ashanti Region

The contest for the Offinso South NDC Constituency Secretary position has sparked a renewed conversation about the true meaning of leadership, as incumbent Abass Mohammed Amogobo comes under attack from political opponents for his hands-on style.

In recent days, some individuals have launched what supporters describe as a desperate propaganda campaign, arguing that “A Secretary shouldn’t ride motorbikes or climb light poles to hang party banners.”

But for the majority of grassroots members in Offinso South, that criticism exposes a fundamental disconnect between elitist politics and servant leadership.

For his opponents, leadership is about sitting in an air-conditioned office, wearing pristine clothes and issuing orders. For Abass Mohammed Amogobo, leadership is SERVICE.

Setting The Record Straight

1. A Secretary Who Knows The Grassroots
Abass does not just manage the party on paper; he leads from the front. When there is work to be done, he does not wait for ordinary members to risk their lives – he gets on the motorbikes, climbs the poles and puts up the party colours himself. That, his supporters say, is not a lack of status; it is humility and solidarity with the people.

2. The NDC Was Built On Grassroots Power
The National Democratic Congress was never built by air-conditioned politicians. It was built by people who got their hands dirty for the cause. If climbing poles and riding motorbikes for the NDC is considered a flaw, then critics have lost touch with the very core of the party’s values.

3. In The Trenches With The People
Abass sees himself as no better than any branch executive, youth organizer, or party faithful. As one supporter put it, “When you see your Secretary on a motorbike beside you in the rain and sun, you know you have a general who will never abandon you when the battle gets tough.”

As the campaign mantra goes: “A leader is not someone who sits at the top and points where to go. A true leader gets into the field and says: FOLLOW ME!”

While opponents complain about his rolled-up sleeves, Abass Mohammed Amogobo is focused on results – balancing administrative competence with unmatched field commitment.

For his supporters, the message is clear: Don’t confuse arrogance for leadership.

Stay Grassroots. Stay Grounded. Retain the Servant Leader, Abass Mohammed Amogobo, for Offinso South NDC Constituency Secretary.
