In a Facebook post shared days after announcing his departure from Sagani TV, Lansah made it clear that he remains unfazed by the criticism surrounding his career decision.
”I have no intention of paying attention to those criticizing my decision to join Tolon Multimedia. My decision is mine to make, and I’m proud of it,” he wrote.
The journalist revealed that he has received overwhelming support from within the NDC, stating that about 20 Members of Parliament and several prominent party figures have personally congratulated him on his new role.
According to him, the encouragement he has received from respected personalities far outweighs the negative comments from a few critics.
”That encouragement means far more than the negativity from a few critics,” he added.
Lansah also emphasized that while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, he remains committed to his professional responsibilities and is focused on the opportunities ahead.
He concluded his message with the Dagbani phrase, “Dibi nyema,” a positive expression often used to wish someone well or signify optimism.

The long-serving Constituency Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Mion, Hon. Iddrisu Ndung Amin, popularly known as “Natural,” has officially announced that he will not seek re-election in the party’s upcoming constituency executive elections.
In a statement released on June 24, 2026, Amin said the decision marks the end of a 17-year journey as the administrative head of the party in the constituency, having served four consecutive terms since first assuming office in 2009.
Describing the role as the “greatest honour” of his political career, he stated that the time had come to hand over leadership responsibilities to a new generation.
“Healthy democracies and strong political parties thrive on renewal and fresh perspectives,” he said, adding that although he would be stepping down from the position, his commitment to the NPP and its ideals remained unwavering.
During his tenure, Amin played a central role in building and strengthening the party’s structures in Mion through election campaigns, voter registration exercises, grassroots mobilisation and administrative reforms. He credited the collective efforts of party executives and members for maintaining a vibrant and united constituency organisation, culminating in the NPP’s historic parliamentary victory in 2020.
Reflecting on his political journey, Amin recounted his experience serving as a polling station secretary for four years before becoming Constituency Secretary, bringing his total years of service as a party officer to 21.
He paid tribute to several former parliamentary candidates and party leaders he worked with over the years, highlighting lessons he learned from each.
Among them was former parliamentary candidate Hon. Samuel, whom he credited with giving him the opportunity to participate in the Electoral Commission’s collation process during the 2008 elections. According to Amin, observations made during that exercise influenced the party’s decision to challenge the election results in court.
He also praised Hon. Shani for teaching him patience and respect for differing opinions, while commending Hon. Hashim for exemplifying integrity, accountability and transparency in both public and political life.
Amin further acknowledged former Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister Hon. Ayaba for inspiring him to dream big and remain focused on achieving the party’s long-standing ambition of winning the parliamentary seat in Mion.
The outgoing secretary reserved special appreciation for family members, party elders, constituency executives, polling station officers, electoral area coordinators and members of the party’s Council of Elders and Council of Patrons for their support throughout his tenure.
He also expressed gratitude to Mohammed Yahuza, whom he described as his political mentor and “Rock of Gibraltar,” for supporting his rise to the position in 2009.
Amin used the occasion to reflect on the creation of “Agents for Change,” a political mobilisation group he established shortly after becoming secretary. The initiative aimed to recruit and organise educated party sympathisers from Mion living outside the constituency to serve as polling agents and campaign mobilisers during elections.
Despite stepping aside from the executive role, Amin assured party members that he would continue to support the NPP through mentorship and advisory roles.
“I leave this office with a deep sense of fulfilment. We have fought the good fight together, and I look forward to working alongside all of you from the sidelines to secure our next electoral victory in 2028, In Shaa Allah,” he stated.
