The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, widely known as Nana B, has accused President John Mahama’s administration of eroding Ghana’s democratic principles by weaponising state institutions against political opponents.
Speaking in an interview during the NPP’s Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna demonstration in Accra on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, Nana B said the protest was aimed at sending a strong message to the President.
“What we are seeking to achieve is to send a signal to President Mahama, to remind him that he was elected to defend democracy. The level at which our democracy is descending is worrying. A change in government should not mean the weaponisation of state institutions to target opponents,” he stressed.

He further accused the government of practising selective justice in its handling of politically related cases. “Do we have a different set of laws for the NPP and another for the NDC?” he asked, citing examples of alleged offences by individuals linked to the ruling party that, according to him, have gone unpunished.
“These include a case where someone falsely presented herself as a medical doctor—clearly a criminal offence—yet she was not arrested. We also had Ralph St. Williams storming hospitals to disrupt patients, but he has not faced prosecution. Even Chief Azorka, said to have been arrested for threats and assault during the Akwatia by-election, has not been held accountable,” Nana B alleged.
He emphasised that the NPP’s protest was a march against what the party views as the deliberate abuse of power and the erosion of democratic freedoms under the current administration.
