An aspiring National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Wonder Madilo has raised concern over the number of unemployed graduates registered under the Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo) that passed out on Wednesday, at the Independence Square.
According to him, the number of recruits that showed up at the inaugural ceremony is less than the 100,000 members government claims to have recruited, hence he suspects ghost names in the scheme.
He made this allegation during a pre-election debate for aspirants in the party’s upcoming National Executive Elections.
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday graduated recruits of the NaBCo who have accepted their postings.
Graduates from the Central, Western, Ashanti, Eastern, Volta and Greater Accra regions converged at the Black Star Square for the national ceremony, whiles the Northern, Upper East, Upper West and the Brong Ahafo regions were asked to send representatives to the ceremony.
However, there was a low turn out of the recruits at the inaugural ceremony.
The NDC believes the recruits are not up to the number being speculated by government.
Mr. Madilo who is former MCE for Akuapem North, said “I know the capacity of the square. Are you telling me that the number of people there was equal to anywhere near the 100,000? I know there will be ghost names on that payroll.”
Pre-Election Debate
The debate which is the first of its kind, was organized by the Centre for Social Democracy (CSD-Ghana) in partnership the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES).
Aspiring candidates for the National Youth Organizing position made up of Yaw Brogya Gemfi, George Opare Addo and Wonder Madilo, took turns to communicate their ideas to delegates who had gathered at the auditorium.
The debate was attended by Ambassador Lee Okran, Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhunyi, and some members of the NDC.
It seeks to promote a healthy competition among aspirants to explicitly explain their idea to delegates and also engender internal democracy within the NDC.

Oyiwa!!! NDC is a party mainly for, by and of f00*ls. What a mind*less g00n of helpless proportion. He is saying all the 100,000 heads should have turned up there and for what? It will be insane to put NDC even in charge of a dog shelter
EVEN AT THE FAMILY FUNERAL GROUND YOU DONT EXPECT ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AT THE GROUND. NDC MEMBERS CAN ONLY CRITICIZE AND DESTROY GOOD POLICIES BUT DIFFICULT TO THINK BROADLY AHEAD OF TIME. 7
I wonder the kind of God who created these NDC people, always talking senseless shits. How did he expect all 100,000 beneficiaries all over the country to be at the function? My wife is a beneficiary but she wasn't there. ***barred word*** ***barred word***!
A lousy, ***barred word***, twerp. Did you really expect 100,000 people to be at the black star square? The fact that you expected all the beneficiaries to be at the grounds shows clearly what you are made of. You are so full of ***barred word***.
Ignorance indeed is a disease!! How can you expect all the beneficiaries to be there? Are you normal at all??!! You need a pychiatrist!!!
So you think all the 100,000 people were supposed to be there? I know some people who are in Accra here who have been recruited but could not be there. From reliable sources some buses from Volta Region and other regions were even coming when they had closed. You don't expect everybody to be there. NDC should ***barred word***. How many people did they employ in their 8 years.Its only Amina who was given 54 cedis to real pigs. ***barred word*** party and ***barred word***.
To you guys everything is bad meanwhile Ghanaians were crying more than now. Your government was for northerners and voltarians only even small portion, now NABCO is for everyone who's qualified not party members and is District level recruitment. Because you steal and took double salaries,the youth were neglected. Fooooooooools
