‘Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna’ demo: NPP petitions Mahama, IGP over ‘selective justice’ against members
The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has accused the John Mahama-led administration of undermining democracy through what he described as the weaponisation of state institutions against political opponents.
Speaking to Citi News’ Hanson Agyeman during the NPP’s Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna demonstration in Accra on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, Nana B said the protest was intended to “send a signal” to President Mahama about the growing threats to Ghana’s democracy.
“What we are seeking to achieve is to send a signal to President Mahama, to let him know that he was elected as president of the country to defend democracy. The level at which our democracy is descending is worrying. The fact that there is a change in government does not mean that you weaponise state institutions, orchestrate things against your opponents,” he said.
Nana B further alleged that the government was practising selective justice in handling cases involving political actors.
“The selective justice that we are talking about is to the effect that, do we have a different set of laws for the NPP and other laws for the NDC? We had someone portray herself as a medical doctor, which is a criminal offence; she was not arrested.
“We also had Ralph St Williams going to hospitals to disturb persons who were there for medical attention; he has not been arrested. As we speak, we were told that Chief Azorka was arrested for threats and assault during the Akwatia by-election, but we have not even seen anything to prove that he was indeed arrested,” he stated.
He stressed that the NPP’s demonstration was a march against what the party believes to be the “deliberate abuse of power” under the current administration.
