    Abronye is being interrogated by the NIB over remarks against Mahama – Nana B

    The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye, is under investigation at the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) office in Kawukudi, Accra.

    This was revealed by Henry Nana Boakye, the NPP’s National Organiser, also known as Nana B.

    In a Facebook post on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, Nana B revealed that he, along with other party leaders, had accompanied Abronye to the NIB office after the bureau invited him.

    He further assured the public that Abronye is currently being questioned by NIB officials and is being represented by his legal team, including Agyei Baffour Awuah and Enoch Afoakwa.

    “This morning, together with some party executives, we accompanied Kwame Baffoe Abronye, the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) office at Kawukudi.

    “Abronye is currently engaging with NIB officers, accompanied by his legal representatives, Lawyer Agyei Baffour Awuah and Lawyer Enoch Afoakwa,” he wrote on his Facebook page.

    Nana B affirmed the party’s steadfast commitment to backing its members, asserting,“The party remains committed to standing by its members at all times.”

    The invitation for questioning was issued by the NIB following Abronye’s allegations in a radio interview where he accused President John Dramani Mahama of withholding GH¢550 million designated for dismissed appointees at the Jubilee House.

    Mr Abronye made these claims during his appearance on Movement TV in Accra.

    “The Akufo-Addo government budgeted GH¢550 million for these individuals to be employed. This money comes from taxpayers, yet another government cancels the appointments and allegedly transfers the funds to the Jubilee House. So, what are you doing with the GH¢550 million that was put in bullion vans and sent to the Jubilee House?

    “You have revoked people’s appointments, taken their GH¢550 million, and put it in a bullion van. Meanwhile, Mahama and Okudzeto Ablakwa travel every week and have not spent more than three days in the country,” he claimed.

    Mr Abronye, reacting to the invitation, declared that no amount of intimidation or state security pressure could silence him.

    While speaking on Movement TV, the outspoken politician reaffirmed his strong views on the matter and conveyed his readiness for the forthcoming session with the NIB.

    “I cannot be intimidated by any state security agency. I am not one of those who run away from accountability. Why? Don’t I have the right to question the president on where he’s keeping that money? Is this the Ghana we are building? These people know that both spiritually and physically, they always lose a fight against me. So, is this the strategy they are resorting to? I will demolish them.

    “You, the same President Mahama, when you met the labour unions, stated that state resources were criminally used. Why can’t I also drag you to the NIB for questioning? We were in this country when a party chairman urged supporters of his party to burn DRIP machines, yet the Director of Investigation did not say a word on that issue. I am to appear before the NIB on Wednesday, but if they like, I can go and sleep there on Tuesday night ahead of the meeting,” he said.

    He added that “Nobody can threaten me or prevent me from asking relevant questions. Even Donald Trump was questioned after his company had a deal with Elon Musk’s company. When I appear before the NIB, I will use the word ‘hoarding’ in every paragraph. We can’t allow the government to keep that money.”

    2024 elections: We will leave the NDC in shock with our victory – Nana B

    Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B and the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed confidence that his party will emerge victorious in the 2024 general elections, leaving the opposition, particularly the National Democratic Congress (NDC), stunned.

    Speaking during an interview on Onua FM, Nana B attributed the NPP’s expected win to their strong performance record, insisting that the outcome will be indisputable.

    “We will win this election based on our superior track record. No one can rob us of the win,” he stated.

    He also criticized Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the NDC’s Director of Elections and IT, suggesting that his leadership would contribute to the NDC’s downfall in the upcoming election.

    Nana B argued that Dr. Boamah spends more time speaking than focusing on his responsibilities, which he believes will ultimately lead to the NDC’s defeat.

    “Dr. Edward Omane Boamah should focus on the work he has been given and stop talking too much. His party will lose the elections, and he will be blamed for not doing his work well and being the cause of their misfortune,” he added.

  • We’ll oppose external audit of voters register – NPP

    We’ll oppose external audit of voters register – NPP

    The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pledged to strongly oppose any move to allow an external body to carry out a forensic audit of the voters’ register.

    The party argues that the Electoral Commission (EC), which is constitutionally mandated as an independent body, should not be subjected to such an audit by an outside institution.

    In an interview on Peace FM on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B) stated that the issues raised by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) could be easily resolved without the need for an external audit of the voters’ register.

    “If you look at our law, the EC is very independent; their independence is enshrined in the constitution, and you cannot undermine it. Again, whatever they do is guided by our constitution or the various Constitutional Instruments and amendments.

    “If you look at the NDC demonstration and their grounds for it, they claim that after this year’s compilation of the voters’ register, they realized that there have been some transfers and dead persons on the electoral roll, and they have evidence of about 200,000 such persons. I read a statement from the EC indicating that when they met with the NDC, they asked the party to submit evidence of the discrepancies they claim to have identified so the commission could resolve the issue, but the NDC declined.

    “The party is rather calling for a forensic audit by an independent body. This kind of complaint, which can be easily resolved, should not lead to an independent audit of a body that the constitution stipulates should be independent,” Nana B said.

    He further stated that the NPP will vehemently oppose any such move.

    “We in the NPP, when we were in opposition, once filed a similar complaint with the EC. We were asked to bring our evidence, and we sent it. The committee that presided over our concerns said there was no need for a new register to be compiled. Instead, an opportunity was given for a special voter exhibition exercise during which the names of dead people would be removed. That was what was done, and we used the same register for the general elections.

    “We in the NPP will not allow any foreign interference. We will not allow any independent body to sit over a constitutionally created and well-established body. We will not allow the EC to let any foreign body conduct a forensic audit into its affairs. We will resist it fiercely. The demonstration that the NDC just held cannot compare to the action we will take,” Nana B added.

  • Bawumia is ready to challenge Mahama in debate – Nana B

    Bawumia is ready to challenge Mahama in debate – Nana B

    The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B) has affirmed the party’s eagerness to participate in a debate with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) under any circumstances.

    In a recent Facebook post, Nana B announced the NPP’s readiness to debate the NDC, even if the event is held at the NDC’s headquarters or moderated by the NDC’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

    “DMB is ready to debate JDM even with Asiedu Nketia as the moderator and at the NDC’s headquarters or JDM’s office as the venue,” Nana B stated.

    This statement follows a call from the NPP’s flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for a debate with the NDC’s flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama.

    So far, Mahama has not officially addressed the debate challenge. His aide, Joyce Bawah, has dismissed the suggestion, arguing that given the current economic situation, there is nothing substantial to debate.

  • People are looking forward to a Bawumia-Mahama debate; forget the other parties – Nana B

    People are looking forward to a Bawumia-Mahama debate; forget the other parties – Nana B

    The National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has underscored the public anticipation for a debate between John Mahama, the main opposition party candidate, and the NPP flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia.

    Mr. Boakye also known as Nana B emphasized that such a debate is crucial given the prominence of the NPP and NDC in Ghanaian politics.

    Speaking on the JoyNews AM show, Mr. Boakye expressed the view that a debate between Dr. Bawumia and Mr. Mahama would provide a critical platform for discussing policy issues directly with the Ghanaian electorate.

    He highlighted the importance of debates in clarifying the positions of both parties on key national issues, especially amidst discussions about the economy and policy decisions.

    “I think that for me, we should not even include any other political party. I mean, these are the two main political parties. NPP, NDC, and I think they need to log on to this particular debate because, the NDC claims that a sitting vice president who is also the chairperson for the economic management team made some decisions, and they want to blame some of the challenges that we have regarding the economy on him. That is fine. That is their view. That view can be respected by some people. So why not debate?,” Mr. Boakye remarked.

    He noted that organisations like the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), the Ghana Union of Traders Associations (GUTA), and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) are eagerly awaiting such a debate between the two main contenders for the presidency.

    “People are looking for it, and it is very important we need to have it,” Mr. Boakye emphasized, highlighting the public interest in seeing both Dr. Bawumia and Mr. Mahama engage in an intellectual discussion about their respective policies and visions for Ghana’s future.

  • Bawumia selected NAPO as his running mate based on consultations – Nana B

    Bawumia selected NAPO as his running mate based on consultations – Nana B

    The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has announced that the selection of Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, as the running mate for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming elections was based on extensive experience.

    On Monday, Dr. Bawumia revealed his choice of running mate to the national executives of the NPP after consultations with President Akufo-Addo and Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.

    In an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Mr. Boakye explained that Dr. Bawumia’s decision was influenced by his extensive experience as a running mate and vice president.

    He highlighted that this decision was also shaped by consultations Dr. Bawumia conducted.

    “His Excellency the Vice President is making this decision with a huge wealth of experience. Why do I say so? In 2008 he was the running mate, in 2012 he was the running mate, in 2016 he was the running mate and we won, in 2020 elections he was again. His Excellency the president nominated him again to be his running mate. So he’s been eight years or more running mate and eight years vice president.”

    “He’s made this decision based on his own experience, the consultation he’s done. So clearly you will expect such a man to come before national executives with some convincing and detailed reasons why he wants Dr Matthew Opoku to partner him,” he stated.

  • Godfred Dame will continue to remain the A-G of this country – Nana B assures

    Godfred Dame will continue to remain the A-G of this country – Nana B assures

    The National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has staunchly affirmed that Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame will not yield to calls for his resignation, despite pressure from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and other concerned parties.

    Mr Boakye, also known as Nana B dismissed the demands as unfounded and reiterated Yeboah Dame’s unwavering commitment to his role.

    In an interview with Citi TV on Wednesday, May 29, Nana Boakye reiterated his support for Yeboah Dame, asserting that there are no grounds for his resignation now or in the foreseeable future.

    He attributed the calls for resignation to baseless allegations and emphasized the Attorney General’s dedication to his duties.

    Nana Boakye also accused the NDC of employing diversionary tactics, suggesting that their focus on Yeboah Dame’s resignation is driven by concerns about the legal issues facing Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

    Mr Boakye praised Yeboah Dame’s performance as Attorney General, stating that he deserves commendation rather than criticism for his admirable execution of his duties.

    “I can confirm to you that this tape is doctored and Godfred Yeboah Dame will not resign today nor tomorrow. He will continue to remain the Attorney-General of this country because he is doing a fantastic job for this country,” he insisted.

    The NDC stirred controversy on Tuesday with the release of an alleged audio recording purportedly capturing a conversation between Attorney General Godfred Dame and Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the contentious ambulance purchase trial. Mr. Jakpa claimed that the Attorney General had solicited his assistance in building a case against former Deputy Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.

    In response to these allegations and the subsequent call for his resignation by the NDC, Attorney General Godfred Dame remains resolute in his position. Deputy Attorney-General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has raised doubts about the authenticity of the audio tape released by the NDC, questioning the basis for the party’s demand for Dame’s resignation.

    Mr. Tuah-Yeboah emphasized that the Attorney General stands firm and is determined to continue executing his duties. He dismissed the NDC’s assertions, asserting that there is no substantiated reason for Dame to step down from his position.

    “It is not confirmed whether what we have is an authentic audio. That’s the first thing. The second thing is that the Attorney General is very resolute, very firm, very healthy and is undertaking his duties as Attorney General. He is currently out of the jurisdiction and very soon he will be back to continue his duties as Attorney General,” he said.

    “There is no doubt that the Attorney General had a conversation with the third accused, as you’ve heard from our spokesperson. Very true, circumstances led to that kind of conversation and we think nothing untoward was said.”

    Godfred Dame will not resign – Nana B to MPs calling for his resignation

    National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has reiterated the party’s backing for Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame amidst recent controversies.

    The National Democratic Congress (NDC) released an alleged phone conversation on May 28, implicating Dame in discussions related to the ambulance procurement case.

    In the leaked conversation, Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the case, discusses matters involving the first accused, meetings at a Supreme Court Justice’s residence, and concerns regarding the ambulance contract.

    Responding to the NDC’s press conference, Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, emphasized that Dame was continuing his duties as Attorney-General. He asserted that issues concerning financial losses related to the ambulance procurement would be addressed in court, not in the media.

    “He won’t resign today or tomorrow, he will continue in his role as is fit as an Attorney-General.

    “Your doctored, fake, cut-and-paste tape is headed nowhere. He will continue his job, we would meet in court to discuss the case not in public,” he stressed.

    Following NDC’s release of the alleged tape, Nana B addressed the matter, echoing the sentiments expressed by Frank Davies, the NPP’s head of legal affairs.

    Davies dismissed the tape’s credibility and affirmed that Godfred Yeboah Dame remained in his position as Attorney-General.

    He emphasized that the NDC’s actions would not hinder the prosecution of Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, who is the primary accused in the case.

  • Nana B speaks on “damning” secret recording associated with ambulance purchase trial

    Nana B speaks on “damning” secret recording associated with ambulance purchase trial

    National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, is anticipating the disclosure of evidence by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in an upcoming press conference regarding the alleged conduct of Attorney-General Godfred Dame Yeboah in the ongoing ambulance purchase trial.

    Nana B claims that the NDC’s ‘damning evidence’ consists of a secret recording made by the third accused, Richard Jakpa, at the residence of a Supreme Court judge.

    The third accused stated openly in court that Godfred Dame had approached him on multiple occasions, soliciting his help to incriminate the first accused person, Dr. Ato Forson.

    Dr. Forson, a former Deputy Finance Minister and current Minority Leader, is facing charges brought by the state for his alleged involvement in the procurement of defective ambulances for Ghana.

    In a Facebook post on Monday, May 27, the National Organiser of the NPP stated that the Attorney-General attended the meeting at the request of Justice Emmanuel Yonny Kulendi, which took place at his residence.

    He argued that the complete recording would demonstrate that the Attorney-General never asked Richard Jakpa to distort his testimony.

    “We are reliably informed that NDC is trying every means to maliciously ‘doctor’ the said tape to exclude portions of the conversation and particularly the voice of the Supreme Court Justice, whose invitation the AG honoured out of courtesy. The full-length recording will reveal the AG never requested Richard Jakpa to skew his testimony in any manner as bandied around by the NDC.”

    Nana B indicated that “No amount of scheming by the NDC and its affiliates will exonerate any person who participated in misrepresenting ordinary vans as ambulances to the Ghanaian populace.”

    Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, has issued a warning to the public, warning them not to trust pro-NPP communicators and media outlets that claim to have “incontrovertible evidence” on their hands.

    Below is Nana B’s full post

    On the dishonorable and discredited Ato Forson’s trial:

    The NDC has since the commencement of the prosecution of Ato Forson employed every rule in the book to frustrate, manipulate and curtail bringing Ato Forson to justice for the huge financial loss occasioned by Ghana at the expense of much-needed emergency health services for the Ghanaian populace.

    The latest in this charade is the claim of possessing some damning evidence which has been found out to be a recording by Richard Jakpa at a meeting the AG was invited to by a Supreme Court judge, Justice Emmanuel Yonny Kulendi without being informed Richard Jakpa will be present.

    We are reliably informed that NDC is trying every means to maliciously ‘doctor’ the said tape to exclude portions of the conversation and particularly the voice of the Supreme Court Justice, whose invitation the AG honoured out of courtesy.

    The full-length recording will reveal the AG never requested Richard Jakpa to skew his testimony in any manner as bandied around by the NDC.

    Justice they say must be done even if the heavens fall and no amount of scheming by the NDC and its affiliates will exonerate any person who participated in misrepresenting ordinary vans as ambulances to the Ghanaian populace.

    Volta Region with give NPP more than 300,000 votes in 2024 elections – Nana B

    The New Patriotic Party (NPP) aims to secure over 300,000 votes from the Volta Region in the December 2024 elections.

    This was announced by the party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), after a tour of the Volta region to monitor the ongoing limited registration exercise.

    Nana B, accompanied by Volta Regional Chairman Mr. Makafui Woanya and other regional executives, visited several constituencies, including Ketu South, Ketu North, Akatsi South, Aflao, Akatsi, Agotime Ziope, Ho Central, Ho East, and Hohoe, to assess the party’s preparedness for the 2024 elections.

    Impressed by the party members’ enthusiasm during the registration exercise, Nana B reaffirmed the NPP’s commitment to weakening the NDC’s dominance in the Volta region. He encouraged the party’s leadership to stay resolute and work unitedly in the lead-up to the elections.

    Following the registration exercise monitoring, the team visited various communities to engage with the residents.

    The numerous developmental projects executed by the NPP government in the Volta Region were noted as likely to significantly boost the party’s performance in the 2024 elections.

    NPP to secure victory in Ejisu by-election with a notable lead – Nana B

    The National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), has expressed utmost confidence in the party’s prospects for success in the upcoming by-election in Ejisu, foreseeing a substantial victory margin.

    During an appearance on JoyNews’ PM Express, Mr. Boakye, commonly referred to as Nana B, dismissed a recent poll conducted by Info-Analytics, which suggests an NPP victory but by a narrow margin.

    He criticized the organization and implied a lack of credibility in its work, stating, “Their polls look like somebody sitting in his living room and conjuring some figures and throwing them out there. We have a credible source and I am saying that we’re going to win with a clear margin.”

    Responding to this criticism on the same program, the Executive Director of Global Info Analytics, Mussa Dankwah, defended the credibility of their polls.

    Mr Dankwah emphasized their organization’s widespread recognition both nationally and internationally for the reliability and accuracy of their polling data.

    “The whole country knows we are credible, the whole world knows that we are credible. Despite discrediting us publicly, our poll is what they read every night. It’s a statement they make a lot so I am not surprised.”

    He further underscored the importance of voter turnout in shaping the election outcome, emphasizing that the victorious party would likely be the one capable of effectively mobilizing its supporters.

    “This election is not going to be a walk in the park. And whoever will win, it will depend on turnout. The competitor who can convince his supporters to come out and vote will most likely have it.”

    You couldn’t stop some of your appointees from stealing from market women – Nana B jabs Mahama

    The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, has criticized the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President, John Dramani Mahama, alleging rampant corruption during his administration.

    Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ programme, Nana B highlighted that the corruption witnessed during Mahama’s presidency had severe consequences, particularly for market women who suffered losses due to fire outbreaks.

    “Stealing during your term knew no bounds as some of your corrupt appointees even stole from market women with impunity,” he remarked.

    Nana B emphasized the seriousness required for the presidency, suggesting that Mahama’s track record indicates that allowing him to lead Ghana again would result in further damage.

    He cited the recent case of embezzlement involving the former CEO of MASLOC, who was sentenced to jail by the court, as an example of corruption during Mahama’s tenure.

    “A typical example of crass corruption is the current one that has seen the former CEO of MASLOC being jailed by the court for her involvement in embezzlement activities,” he added.

    An Accra High Court sentenced former MASLOC CEO Sedina Christine Tamakloe Attionu, in absentia, to ten years in prison with hard labor on April 16, 2024.

    Former MASLOC Head of Operations Daniel Axim was also sentenced to five years in prison.

    They were found guilty on 78 counts related to causing financial loss to the state, theft, conspiracy to steal, money laundering, and contravening public procurement laws. An arrest warrant has been issued for Attionu.

  • Truck driver is a card-bearing NDC member – NPP’s Nana B on train crash

    Truck driver is a card-bearing NDC member – NPP’s Nana B on train crash

    National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, asserted during an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia morning show on Monday, April 22, 2024, that the driver responsible for the accident involving a newly acquired train during a test run is affiliated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

    Nana B maintained that the incident was a deliberate act of sabotage orchestrated by the opposition to tarnish the government’s reputation.

    “So Kwame, won’t you talk about the new train which was being tested that had an accident because an NDC person parked a car on the tracks?” he questioned the host.

    The host in response, probed whether Nana B had any evidence to prove his claim, to which he insisted that the driver who has since been convicted for his action is an NDC member.

    “I am telling you that he is NDC, we also have people there, he is a true NDC member with a party card in that constituency… If you look at the way the car was parked, it was very deliberate. Do you think it is okay for the NDC to do that? Such evil mindset, that a new train has arrived and for the government to receive praise you would cause its destruction.

    “The NDC is typically full of evil mindset. You listen to how happy they sound on social media. Even former President John Dramani Mahama, who is supposed to condemn such conduct, was saying he would be asking questions if he were to be president. He is not concerned about the person who caused the incident,” he submitted.

    Last week, a court sentenced Abel Dzidotor, the individual responsible for the accident involving the newly imported train on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line, to six months’ imprisonment with hard labour.

    Dzidotor confessed to three of the four charges brought against him, which included inconsiderate driving, unauthorised stopping, and causing unlawful damage.

    The fourth charge, failure to produce a driver’s license, was disputed by Dzidotor, who asserted that his license was inside the damaged vehicle.

    He has been directed to present the licence to the court by May 9, 2024, to avoid potential repercussions.

    The Ghana Police Service apprehended Dzidotor for causing the accident, which occurred on April 18 during a test run of a newly imported train from Poland.

    Preliminary investigations conducted by the police revealed that Dzidotor left the Hyundai truck with registration number GS 9018–20 unattended on the railway line, resulting in a collision with the train.

    The accident reportedly transpired when Abel Dzidotor went to deliver cement blocks, but the truck became stuck on the rail upon his return.

  • FLASHBACK: ‘Angry’ Nana B assaults ‘defenseless’ Sammy Gyami on live radio

    FLASHBACK: ‘Angry’ Nana B assaults ‘defenseless’ Sammy Gyami on live radio

    Five years ago, chaos broke out on Asempa FM’s Political Talk Show, “Ekosisen” when NPP National Youth Organizer Henry Nana Boakye (better known as Nana B) launched an attack against NDC’s Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi.

    It is unclear what triggered the attack but reports claimed Sammy Gyamfi was blasting the NPP for the violence recorded at the Asawasa West Wuogon constituency by-election when he incurred the anger of Nana B.

    As Sammy Gyamfi sought to leave the studio after being provoked, Nana B got up from his seat and shoved the head of Sammy Gyamfi.

    The youth wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) called for the arrest of Nana B. Less than 24 hours after the incident, Nana B offered a heartfelt apology, however, to the listeners of Ekosisen and Ghanaians, but not Sammy Gyamfi. 

    “Regardless of the repulsive, provocative conduct by the NDC’s National Communications Director on the show which included unacceptable verbal attacks on the President and myself, I am, upon sober reflection, apologising to listeners of Asempa FM and Ghanaians for the manner in which I responded.

    “I wish to assure all that, I remain committed to decent, issue-based discourse on our airwaves and that this unfortunate incident will not be repeated,” he wrote in a statement.

    To Sammy Gyamfi, Nana B said, “I will also encourage my junior brother, Sammy Gyamfi, to be decorous and respectful in his public utterances during such engagements and to, at all times, respect the high office of the President.”

    Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu resigned voluntarily – Nana B

    The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has denied claims that former Majority Leader in Parliament Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was forced out of his position.

    According to the National Organizer of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu voluntarily stepped down.

    Speaking to journalists after a National Council meeting on Friday, Nana B said “He was not ousted. You notice that he voluntarily stepped down from his position.”

    He explained, “Now he is taking another important position. Now he is the Chairman of NPP’s manifesto committee. And again, he will still be the minister in charge of parliamentary affairs.”

    Nana B added that “So, for us, that is okay. It’s a new mandate. I mean, change is good. We have consensus building on this particular matter and he’s still there.”

    The gathering confirmed Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for Effutu, as the new Majority Leader in Parliament, effective from Friday, February 23.

    The reconstituted majority caucus comprises Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei, Majority Chief Whip Frank Annor Dompreh, and Deputy Majority Whips Habib Iddrisu and Alex Tetteh Djonobuah.

  • Have you seen any letter? – Nana B clashes with Kwasi Pratt over reports on Ofori-Atta’s new appointment

    Have you seen any letter? – Nana B clashes with Kwasi Pratt over reports on Ofori-Atta’s new appointment

    National Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), has questioned the authenticity of reports suggesting that the outgoing Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has been given a new appointment.  

    Speaking on Peace FM’s morning show, Kokrokoo, Nana B noted that there has not been any official communication in that regard, therefore, such reports cannot be trusted. 

    His comments were in reaction to concerns raised by the Managing editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, over Mr Ofori-Atta’s said appointment. 

    Mr Pratt, who was baffled by the fact that President Akufo-Addo is seeking to offer the Finance Minister another role, which appears to be bigger than his previous position, despite relieving him of his Finance Minister role. 

    More baffling, Mr Pratt asserted is the fact that some Members of Parliament (MPs) belonging to the New Patriotic Party called for the head of the Minister over claims that he is incompetent. 

    “I am a bit worried about something, NPP MPs said they didn’t want Ken Ofori-Atta, so he should be sacked. Then the president intervened, saying he had work for him, so they should take their time; when he finishes, he will vacate the position.

    “So, is he gone now, or is he still at post? If you look at the government structure, both Ofori-Atta and Osafo Maafo hold the same position. Ofori-Atta is a senior advisor on finance and the economy, and additionally, he is a special envoy for the international financial economy. Which position is bigger than this?” he said. 

    While making his case, Nana B reacted,challenging the authenticity of the reports.  

    “Have you seen any letter from the presidency indicating his appointment?,” he mounted a strong defense, however, Mr Pratt stood his ground, asserting that he had seen a lot to prove that the reports could be true, especially with reports on pro-NPP media outlet, Asaase radio.  

    In response, Nana B asked if Asaase radio was Eugene Arhin’s office?

    “No, it is not Eugene Arhin’s office. But our brother Gabby Otchere Darko is very instrumental in the affairs of the government, so I will believe any news coming from his stations unless it has been disproved,” Kwesi Pratt replied.

    NPP’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, also known as “Nana B,” is facing strong criticism for defending embattled Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, in relation to the latter’s disrespectful comments against the overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom.

    A group known as “Ashanti Youth” has expressed their displeasure, describing Nana B as a significant traitor and likening him to a modern-day “Kwame Tua” in the Ashanti Kingdom, a hated man within the Ashanti world over how he habitually fed the British with information about the Ashanti during the colonial era.

    At a press conference held at the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs-Manhyia on Wednesday, 17th January 2023, aggrieved members of the group said they are “highly disappointed in the National Organiser for the NPP in the person of Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B) for trying to cover up for Chairman Wontumi’s unguided remarks against the Golden stool”.

    The spokesperson for the group, Amaning Kwarteng also noted that, “Nana B has denied on various radio stations in the country that Chairman Wontumi did not make such statements, only to be revealed by the Kokosohene that indeed Chairman Wontumi made such statement”.

    During the media engagement, the group challenging NPP’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, asserted that he cannot prioritize his political interests over his identity as a member of the Asante Tribe.

    The spokesperson for the group labeled Nana B, along with other Asantes within the NPP, as individuals who have subordinated their cultural and ethnic heritage for the sake of political pursuits.

    Meanwhile, Bernard Antwi Boasiako has been accused of cursing the Kokosohene, Nana Kwaku Duah, with the ‘Antoa’ deity.

    The alleged incident is said to be in response to accusations about Chairman Wontumi making derogatory remarks about Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene.

    The situation unfolded when Justin Kodua, concerned about reports of Chairman Wontumi’s alleged attack on Otumfuo, called the Kokosohene to verify the news. During the phone conversation, Justin Kodua added Chairman Wontumi on a conference call to get his input on the controversial issue.

    Unexpectedly, Chairman Wontumi, upon hearing the voice of Kokosohene, became angry and started to curse him. In his alleged curses, Wontumi reportedly invoked the powerful ‘Antoa‘ deity and other river gods, praying for harm to befall the Kokosohene without any apparent provocation.

    The Kokosohene has confirmed the incident, stating that Wontumi cursed him, praying for the river deities to strike him dead.

    “I’m extremely surprised about Wontumi’s arrogant and weird behaviour. He just started to rain curses on me when he heard my voice on the phone.

    “Justin Kodua had called me on phone to verify the authenticity of Wontumi’s attack on Otumfuo and also ask what steps he should take to plead on behalf of Wontumi at the Manhyia Palace. Surprisingly, Wontumi rather started to curse me with river deities when he heard my voice on the phone.

    “He cursed me with about seven river deities, including ‘Antoa’ to strike me dead and use my wife and children as thanksgiving”, Nana Kwaku Duah claimed, adding “even Justin Kodua was speechless about Wontumi’s actions”.

    Also, Chairman Wontumi has refuted allegations that he made derogatory remarks about Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene. 

    He says that these reports are orchestrated by his opponents, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to create public discontent towards him. 

    In a press statement released on Thursday, January 11, Chairman Wontumi called on Ghanaians and NPP supporters to dismiss the propaganda. 

  • You must arrest Mustapha Gbande for inciting violence – Nana B tells Police

    You must arrest Mustapha Gbande for inciting violence – Nana B tells Police


    The National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has urged for the immediate apprehension of Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande.

    This call comes in response to Mr Gbande allegedly endorsing the idea of party members carrying weapons to polling stations during the 2024 elections.

    Nana B emphasized the perceived threat to the nation’s security posed by Mr Gbande’s statements.

    Condemning the suggestion that party supporters should be armed with guns and cutlasses at polling stations, Nana B expressed concerns that such actions could lead to chaos and disrupt the electoral process.

    In an interview with Okay FM, Nana B remarked, “If Yammin and Mustapha are men, they should go to the polling stations with guns and cutlasses, and let’s see what would happen. They can’t do anything. Even Yammin is a coward; he has been running away whenever there is a little chaos in the Ashanti region,” he said in an interview with Okay FM.

    He continued, questioning the rationale behind encouraging people to bring weapons to polling stations, expressing concern over potential disruptions and chaos.

    Nana B asserted, “Mustapha Gbande must be arrested ASAP. I will personally petition the police. Why would you carry guns to polling stations; he needs to be arrested to serve as a deterrent. I haven’t seen the invitation letter, though, but he (Mustapha) must be arrested.”

    “Mustapha Gbande must be arrested ASAP. I will personally petition the police. Why would you carry guns to polling stations, he needs to be arrested to serve as a deterrent. I haven’t seen the invitation letter, though, but he (Mustapha) must be arrested,” he declared.

    In response to the situation, the police released a statement confirming the initiation of investigations into Mr Gbande’s comments.

    The statement emphasized the police’s commitment to upholding the laws and democratic values of the country.

  • Leadership met and decided to sack Buaben Asamoa, 3 others for choosing Alan over NPP – Nana B

    Leadership met and decided to sack Buaben Asamoa, 3 others for choosing Alan over NPP – Nana B

    National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has clarified the dismissals of party members who were found to be supporting an independent candidate.

    According to a statement dated November 20, 2023, and signed by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique, and Yaw Buaben Asamoa, by publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the party’s duly elected presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, have automatically forfeited their membership of the party.

    Mr Boakye stated that the decision was not solely the action of the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, but rather a consensus reached during a national executive meeting.

    “This letter, let me say that it is not only Justin Kodua Frimpong who authoritatively wrote the letter but rather we went for a national executive meeting, and all the party leaders decided that this is the way to go. So, he is carrying the message of the national executive committee,” Mr Boakye said.

    In an interview on Peace FM on November 20, 2023, Boakye emphasized that the decision to dismiss party members supporting an independent candidate was a national one, reflecting the stance of the entire party leadership.

    He explained that during the period when Alan Kyerematen, a former NPP member, chose to contest as an independent candidate, the party did not have an official flagbearer. Therefore, there was no need to take disciplinary action against members supporting Kyerematen at that time.

    “At the time that Alan wanted to go as an independent candidate, we didn’t have a flagbearer, so there was no need to sack someone who supported an independent candidate.

    “As of November 4th, we have an officially elected presidential candidate, so we have to base our decisions on the party laws to take such actions,” he said.

    The National Organizer emphasized the significance of adhering to party rules, particularly now that the NPP has a confirmed flagbearer. Boakye stated that supporting an independent candidate goes against the established party regulations, necessitating the need for disciplinary measures.

    Nana B shares details on why NPP running mate will hail from Ashanti Region

    The National Organizer for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, widely recognized as Nana B, has expressed that the NPP’s vice-presidential candidate will be chosen from the Ashanti Region.

    He emphasized that in addition to the candidate’s regional origin, their competence will be a crucial factor in the decision-making process.

    Furthermore, the party will take into account the individual’s personality and overall popularity within the country.

    “Kwame, the running mate for the NPP in 2024, will come from the Ashanti Region. This is because the Ashanti Region has, over the years, been the stronghold of the NPP. However, that will not be the only consideration.”

    “We will also look at the competence of the individual who will be selected. We will look at his or her track record over the years and how knowledgeable the person is. Did the person perform well when he/she was given an appointment or not?”

    “The running mate we will select will also be someone who is popular and loved by the grassroots. We will not go in for someone no one knows of. We will go in for someone who has the personality to be able to move the crowd because we want someone to shore up our numbers in the impending elections,” he said.

    On Saturday, November 4, 2024, the NPP elected Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as their leader for the 2024 election.

    The ruling party aspires to create a historical moment in the upcoming election by being the first party to break Ghana’s traditional eight-year political cycle with a victory in 2024.

  • When did Nana B join the NPP – Alan explodes

    Former presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has slammed the party’s national organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, for his recent comments in reaction to his breakaway from the party.

    Henry Nana Boakye poplularly referred to as Nana B, has challenged some of the claims by Mr Kyerematen, when he said fuelled the reason for his exit from the NPP.

    According to Mr Kyerematen, the party has been hijacked by some individuals, whom he says frustrated himself and supporters in the party’s recent electoral process to elect a flagbearer for the 2024 elections.

    But Nana B said the former Minister of Trade and Industry had to “orchestrate” and “conjure” some of his reasons just to make them sweet to the ears of Ghanaians.

    “For me some of these assertions are not backed by facts,” Mr Nana Boakye said on Ghana Tonight on TV3 on Monday, September 25.

    “They are not backed by evidence. So I think that yes he intended to leave, so certain reasons must be orchestrated and conjured so that he will hang these personal decisions, the rationale behind it, on the orchestrations and conjecturings.”

    In response to the recent cricitism, Mr Kyerematen belittled Nana B, stating that he cannot make such unfounded comments as he was nowhere to be found when he joined the party.

    “You Nana B, when did you join the NPP. You Nana B when did you come for you to utter such controversial comments.”

    He added: “I pick my fights. If you say something I think is false, I will address it.”

    Meanwhile, former Trade Minister, he will contest for the office of president as an independent candidate in 2024 with his new party, Movement for Change.

    Mr Kyerematen was among the contenders for the NPP flagbearer position, but on September 5, he declared his withdrawal from the race, citing reasons such as electoral irregularities, unfair treatment, and bias during the super delegates’ conference held on August 26, 2023.

    Mr Kyerematen first resigned from the party in 2008 following alleged attacks on his supporters after the NPP held its 2007 presidential primaries.

    Mr Kyerematen has been an active member of the NPP following its establishment in 1992. He was part of a group of young dynamic Business Executives and Professionals came together to establish the Young Executives Forum (YEF) that became the financial backbone of the Party and provided significant financial resources to support the Party in all its endeavours, including the seed fund for the purchase of the Party’s first national headquarters building.

    The ‘All Black Party’ held in Kumasi over the weekend saw the attendance of notable figures, including Henry Nana Boakye, the national organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP); Christian Kwasi Agyeman, the CEO of Taabea Bitters and a member of the East Legon Executive Club; as well as Rev.

  • Nana B slams NDC’s ‘shallow analysis’ of Assin North by-election

    Nana B slams NDC’s ‘shallow analysis’ of Assin North by-election

    The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party has denied claims by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the governing party is conniving with the Electoral Commission to insert the name of one of its aspirants into the Assin North voters register ahead of the by-election.

    Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, on JoyNews’ PM Express said the allegation was false since neither the party nor the aspirants have filed for his name in the voters register to be moved.

    On Sunday, the NDC in a statement made the assertion that an NPP aspirant Charles Opoku is not a registered voter in the Assin North Constituency, adding that the “illegal” move will help the aspirant contest in the NPP parliamentary primaries to select a candidate for the Assin North by-election.

    This, they stated, is against the requirement that a candidate in an election must be a registered voter of the said constituency.

    However, citing portions of the 1992 constitution, Nana B said his comrades in the opposition were wrong.

    “When I read the press statement I was surprised it was coming from a big opposition part because according to the 1992 constitution, you do not have to be a registered voter in the constituency you want to contest before you become eligible to contest. You have to be a registered voter and the man in question is a registered voter.

    “He hails from that constituency, in fact, both candidates are from Assin Breku and they are far and above 21 years, they are all Ghanaians, they don’t hold dual citizenship with emphasis on dual citizenship,” he said on Monday.

    Considering these, Nana B believed the NDC statement “lacked deep thinking”.

    Similarly, the Electoral Commission has denied the allegation, explaining that a person does not need to be a registered voter in a particular constituency to enable him or her to contest elections in that constituency.

    NPP delegates of Assin North will on Wednesday, June 7, head to the polls to decide between two candidates who would be the NPP representative in the upcoming by-election slated for June 27.

  • Assin North: NDC won’t secure victory by sympathy vote in upcoming by-election – Nana B

    Assin North: NDC won’t secure victory by sympathy vote in upcoming by-election – Nana B

    National Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has cast doubt on the possibility of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to secure the Assin North seat by sympathy votes.

    Henry Nana Boakye explained that the dynamics in the area is beyond voting for a personality who was ousted from Parliament for engaging in illegality.

    Ahead of the Assin North bye-election on June 27, the NDC is confident of winning the seat after its deposed Member of Parliament, James Gyakye Quayson, declared his intention to contest again.

    This is a big gamble by the opposition party as its candidate is also facing criminal charges in court. If found guilty, Mr Quayson could face 10 years in prison in hard labour.

    But Nana Boakye on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on Friday said the NDC is engaging in emotional blackmail by retaining Mr Quayson as its candidate.

    Unfortunately, he said the people at Assin North are very discerning and will not fall for the antics of the opposition.

    He said: “94 percent of the people at Assin North are educated and will not vote because of sympathy. They deserve better.”

    The NPP National Organiser said they have done all ground works and will bring on board a competent candidate to contest the election.

    He charged voters at Assin North to look beyond theatrics and vote massively for NPP to continue the developments in the area.

    In a rebuttal, National Organiser of the NDC, Joseph Yamin, said they have already won the bye-election.

    He said the people of Assin North appreciate the good works of Mr Quayson and will vote massively for him.

    The NDC National Organiser stated that the roads being contracted in the area are not enough to buy the votes of the people.

    Mr Yamin predicted a landslide victory for the NDC at the end of the bye-election.

  • Be serious! – NPP’s Nana B fires NDC’s Yamin

    Be serious! – NPP’s Nana B fires NDC’s Yamin

    The National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye popularly known as Nana B, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the approach taken by Joseph Yammin, the National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). 

    Nana B claims that Joseph Yammin has neglected his responsibilities as an organizer by focusing too heavily on social media activities rather than engaging on the ground. 

    Speaking in an interview with Okay FM on May 19, 2023, Nana B highlighted Yammin’s lack of knowledge about Kumawu’s by-election. 

    He questioned Yammin’s familiarity with the local polling stations, electoral areas, and even the chiefs in Kumawu. He further challenged Yammin to name ten towns in Kumawu, suggesting a lack of deep understanding of the constituency’s intricacies. 

    “Joseph Yammin is not really understanding his job. 

    “For Joseph Yammin, he doesn’t even know all the electoral areas in Kumawu, ask him how many polling stations are in Kumawu and electoral areas in Kumawu, he doesn’t know. Ask him if he knows any chief in Kumawu. Ask him, what is the name of Sekyeremanhene…ask him to mention ten towns in Kumawu, he doesn’t know, so for him ignore him,” he said. 

    The NPP national organizer also criticized Yammin for making serious allegations on social media without proper evidence. Nana B referred to a recent incident where Yammin claimed to have seen a vehicle carrying ammunition heading towards Kumawu ahead of the by-election. 

    According to him, he considers the allegation a cause for concern, as it could potentially spread fear and panic among the public, therefore, Yammin should be invited by the police for questioning to clarify the basis of his claim. 

    “I saw him posting on social media that he has seen a car with ammunition heading toward Kumawu, I think this is a serious allegation and he must be invited by the police for questioning because he is causing fear and panic. Are you a serious organizer? Which organizer organizes or mobilizes on social media; he needs to be serious….my brother Yammin should be serious about the work. You are the national organizer of the biggest opposition party; you don’t just come on social media to say anything at all,” he added. 

    Nana B’s remarks reflect the ongoing rivalry between the NPP and the NDC, the two major political parties in Ghana. Both parties are gearing up for a by-election on May 23, 2023, in Kumawu following the demise of the sitting MP, Philip Atta Basoah.

    Military personnel must exhibit higher discipline – Kweku Baako

    Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako, has been instructed the military to uphold the principle of discipline that guides their activities.

    The veteran journalist cautioned the military to exercise control and discretion in all of their activities in response to a radio discussion on the March 7 raid that ended in soldiers brutalizing some Ashaiman locals.

    Baako was reacting specifically to a comment by New Patriotic Party (NPP) national organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, who in his submission refused to cleary condemn the actions of the military.

    “Nana B is entitled to his inability or unwillingness to blame the modus operandi of the military at Ashaiman. I, however, wish to advice Nana B to tell the military to adhere to the regime of discipline required of the Armed Forces as an institution.

    “A lot more is expected of the institution of the armed forces than the residents of Ashaiman in terms of discipline,” Baako texted in into the show.

    Police have announced the arrest of six persons in connection with the death of young soldier Sherrif Imoro, which incident triggered the military swoop.

  • Nana B alleges Mahama wants to rule for 8 years if he wins 2024 elections

    Nana B alleges Mahama wants to rule for 8 years if he wins 2024 elections

    National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Henry Nana Boakye, alias Nana B has alleged that former President wants to be President for another eight (8) years should he be given the nod as President in the 2024 elections.

    He also alleges that the changes made in the leadership of the minority caucus by the National Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has the full backing of former President John Mahama and that it is part of bigger plot to extend his reign in the event he becomes president.

    According to him, there are discussions within the corridors of the NDC on how to circumvent the constitution to get John Mahama to govern for eight years if wins the 2024 election.

    In view of this sinister move, Nana B claims that John Mahama with alleged collusion from some members of the NEC is planting persons in key positions in parliament.

    He is therefore challenging John Mahama and the NDC to come out and state publicly that he will not embark on such mission in the event that he becomes president.

    “The selfishness and greediness in Mahama is that he wants to go for 8 years in the unlikely event that he wins the 2024 elections. The plan is either to amend the constitution or go to the Supreme Court interpretation of constitution on the eight-year term.

    “The plan is to convince Ghanaians that the four-year terms is not enough and therefore should be extended. Mahama will come back and not be excited by a four-year mandate. This discussion is going on in the deeper circles of the NDC.

    “They are finding ways and means, constituting teams on how they can make it possible for Mahama to govern for eight years. If you think I’m lying, I’m daring him to say it during his campaign that his will rule for only four years. I’m challenging Mahama to say that he will govern for just four years.

    The NDC on Tuesday, January 24, made some changes to its leadership in Parliament.

    Ranking Member of the Finance Committee and Member of Parliament for Ajumako-Enyan-Esiam Constituency in the Central Region, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has replaced Tamale South MP, Haruna Iddrisu as the Minority Leader.

    Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, MP for Ellembelle has also replaced Ketu North MP, James Klutse Avedzi as the Deputy Minority Leader while Kwame Governs Agbodza, MP for Adaklu has also replaced Asawase MP, Muntaka Mubarak as the Minority Whip.

    The decision has since sparked outrage among some sections in the Party, with some NDC Members of Parliament publicly opposing the move.

  • NDC struggling . . . We’re the only party ready for election 2024 – Nana B asserts

    With a successful National Delegates Conference to elect National Executives, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is the only political party ready for Election 2024 according to National Organiser elect, Nana B.

    Nana B speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM praised his party for being able to elect officers from polling station level to national; “something the NDC has not been able to do”.

    “Among all the political parties in Ghana; the only political party who has been able to organise elections from polling station to National is the NPP. We are the only political party. Infact the NDC are even struggling to start their branch and constituency elections . . . they’re not even done and so if you want the political party which is ready for the 2024 election, it is the New Patriotic Party. That shows a sense of readiness,” he said.

    Meanwhile, he has urged members of his party to brace themselves because there’s a lot of work to be done towards winning the 2024 election.

    “It is our duty now as a party to put things in order in full preparedness towards election 2024. We have a lot of work to do. Infact the quantum of work to be done is just staring us in the face; it is not hidden,“ he stated.

  • NDC’s biggest mistake is choosing Mahama as flagbearer – Nana B

    National Youth Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye popularly known as Nana B, has said the biggest mistake the largest opposition NDC has made is to make former President John Mahama their flagbearer.

    But he says it is to the advantage of the which the ruling NPP.

    He argued on Adom FM’s ‘Badwam Mpensenpensenmu’ programme that members of the NDC have regretted choosing ex-President John Dramani Mahama to lead them, but they had no other choice since looking through the hierarchy of their party there was no one to lead them.

    According to him, he is the only man in the party who has the capacity to ‘waste’ his money on the 2020 elections since they (members of the NDC) are very much aware of not winning power.

    The NPP Communicator noted that former President Mahama keeps providing his party men poor leadership show.

    ” . . Look, apart from the fact that former President John Mahama is providing his party men with poor leadership advice, he has as well lost track of becoming the President of this state,” Nana Boakye said.

  • Prove that you have responsible leaders by calling Nana B to order – NDC youth to NPP

    The Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has challenged the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to call their National Youth Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye aka Nana B to order.

    The NDC youth says they have received reports that he meted out some unsavoury words against NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama.

    In a release, the NDC youth cautioned the NPP to be responsible for their utterances but if they decide to make the 2020 elections insults and vitriolic attacks, they will meet them ‘boot for boot’.

    Below is the release;

    NPP SHOULD PROVE TO GHANAIANS THEY HAVE RESPONSIBLE ELDERS IN THEIR PARTY BY CALLING NANA B TO ORDER

    The Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has received and confirmed same, reports of unsavoury words used against the person of the Leader and Flagbearer of our party, HE John Dramani Mahama by the National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Henry Nana Boakye AKA Nana B.

    We make an exception of not responding to wild men on the loose with blabbermouths to react to this especially as his commentary was laced with deceit, half-truths and his own interpretation of whatever scenario he pictured in his mind of H.E John Mahama’s words.

    But this is not new to us, Nana B and his party, led by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and Vice President, Dr Mahmoud Bawumia have made it their modus operandi to slight the former President at any given instance.

    HE John Dramani Mahama in his right as a former President, Leader of the opposition party admonished the Electoral Commission and it’s Chairperson to be wary of embarking on activities that will plunge this nation into electoral violence as they will be rightly held responsible for that. How that turns into “irresponsible and reckless’ comment according to Nana B beats imagination.

    The former President was emphatic and concise as he spoke in Twi, a language which offers no ambiguity and misrepresentation. He never mentioned chaos or anarchy, neither did he call for conflicts or violence of any kind.

    It is therefore surprising for a whole National Youth Organizer of the NPP to miss this sound counsel and go to town with his own interpretation of what President John Mahama said. This says a lot about his party and how they have allowed the culture of insults to permeate their ranks. If the NPP has any virtue left in them, their elders will call him to order.

    The NDC is a party made up of young people who take great care to be decorous in their public utterances. We are well aware that imploring him to retract and apologize will not amount to anything but we are giving him the benefit of doubt. And we serve notice that we can equally reply in same measure. If the NPP intends to make this elections about insults and vitriolic attacks, then we will meet them “boot for boot”.

    Calling President Mahama names will not win the elections for the NPP. The Ghanaian people will decide if the politics of corruption, cronyism, nepotism, state capture, flying excavators and using Galamsey money to enrich party functionaries is better than unprecedented achievements in infrastructural development, education, health and shared prosperity for all Ghanaians.

    Signed,

    George Opare Addo,

    National Youth Organizer,

    National Democratic Congress.
