Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Jantuah has accused members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of crying foul over alleged intimidation by the Mahama-led administration.
In a statement, Jantuah explained that President John Mahama has been calm and gentle with the NPP, especially when compared to the actions of the NPP while they were in power.
Jantuah, a former General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), made these remarks in response to recent raids on the homes of former government officials, including a failed attempt by operatives of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to arrest Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour,, at his residence in Spintex on Wednesday.
The incident followed allegations that two suspicious flights had landed at Kotoka International Airport, reportedly carrying drugs and cash.
The raid was described by some as politically motivated, with claims that it was an attempt to use security agencies to intimidate and harass opposition members.
However, in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Jantuah rejected these claims, stating that the NPP members were being treated far better than they deserved.
“They did worse things, and for them, Mahama is giving them farmgate treatment. What exactly is being done to NPP members? Where is the intimidation here? We have to separate the human aspect from those engaged in vandalism,” she stated.
Jantuah also criticized the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee for going public with his findings.
“Why do you even come to the media after you had the tip-off? If he doesn’t trust anybody, at least he should trust his Speaker, or there is someone he can trust because this is of national interest. Who leaves evidence in any clandestine activity?” she chided.
