Gbande acknowledged Anyidoho's past prominence but urged him to refrain from attacking the current NDC National Chairman, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah.
Speaking in an interview on Neat FM on December 22, 2023, he stated that Koku Anyidoho's criticisms appeared to be driven by bitterness.
"Spiritually, I don't insult people who have been where I am before, but I do know that life has not been fair to my brother (Koku Anyidoho) …Koku Anyidoho's insults to my national chairman are from long-standing bitterness.
“Koku Anyidoho was one of the most powerful appointees under President Mills. At the time, if Koku Anyidoho shouted, nobody could talk.
"Everybody’s time would come to pass, and this is General Aseidu Nketiah’s time. He will enjoy it to the glory of God, and people like Koku Anyidoho cannot distract us,” he said.
