Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande
A Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency and Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has revealed that his ultimate desire is to leave politics and dedicate the rest of his life to Christian ministry.
According to him, his biggest wish in life is not to “die as a politician.”
Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on December 10, 2025, Gbande disclosed that his involvement in government was never driven by personal ambition for power or public office but rather by a sense of duty to the NDC and its supporters.
According to him, even after the NDC won power, he was content without a government appointment.
“If President Mahama didn’t give me an appointment, I was a content person, when we won, my whole objective was to go back into ministry. I had no business being in government.”
Gbande stressed that his personal “prize” in life had already been achieved, explaining that his true calling lies in preaching the gospel rather than holding political office.

“I pray every day that I don’t die as a politician. Even if it is one year left for me, God should take me out of politics and make me a servant who will go and save souls,” he stated.
He added that if he were not currently serving as Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, he would already be preaching full-time.
“If you gave me an opportunity today, I will exit and go and preach,” he
