PNP Leader Accuses Mahama of Political Witch-Hunting
The Leader of the People’s National Party (PNP), Madam Janet Nabla, has launched a scathing attack on the President Dramani Mahama, accusing him of behaving undemocratically and pursuing a personal vendetta against appointees from the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
In an exclusive interview with Opemsuo News, Madam Nabla claimed that the current leadership is driven by revenge, systematically removing individuals who served under the former government.
She pointed to the suspension of the Chief Justice as a clear example, emphasizing that the case is still pending in court, yet the President went ahead with the suspension unilaterally.
“This is not how democracy works,” she stated, expressing concern over the President’s apparent disregard for legal procedures and judicial independence.
Madam Nabla also criticized the President’s foreign policy direction, particularly his alleged affinity for countries that came to power through military coups.
According to her, the President’s push for such nations to be reinstated into ECOWAS contradicts the very principles of democratic governance.
She went further to caution against the President’s reported intention to appoint a new Chief Justice while the legal battle surrounding the suspension of the current CJ is still unresolved.
She warned that if the next CJ is perceived to be aligned with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) instead of acting impartially in the national interest, it could spark unrest.
“This decision has the potential to provoke resistance from the public and destabilize the country,” she cautioned.
Madam Nabla also voiced disappointment in the President’s track record on women’s empowerment.
She lamented that, despite a campaign promise to ensure 30% female representation in government, the President has not delivered—and is, instead, actively removing women from leadership roles.
“This pattern of political victimization discourages women from entering public service,” she added, stressing that female leaders fear being unfairly targeted whenever power changes hands.
