The government under President John Dramani Mahama has demonstrated strong leadership and good governance, particularly in the areas of education, the economy, and the fight against corruption, according to Mahdi Jibril, Deputy Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on the Adekyee Mu Nsem morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM, hosted by Alexander Nana Dogbey in Accra, Jibril argued that Mahama’s administration has delivered commendable results over the past eight years—despite operating within a four-year mandate at a time.
“The NDC has shown an outstanding performance in key sectors. It’s unfortunate how the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continues to paint a distorted picture, as if nothing good is happening under this government,” Jibril stated.
He described the political dishonesty of the NPP as “bizarre and unfortunate,” accusing the opposition party of engaging in deliberate acts of protest and demonstrations not purely out of principle, but as a strategic move to position certain individuals for re-election into national and regional leadership roles within the party.
Jibril also dismissed claims of selective justice, asserting that the rule of law is functioning properly, as corruption cases involving officials from previous administrations are being handled through legitimate judicial processes.
“Where is the selective justice? Former government officials are being prosecuted according to due process and have the opportunity to defend themselves in court,” he emphasized.
NPP Takes to the Streets Over “Misapplication of Justice”
Meanwhile, members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are staging a protest in Accra today, Tuesday, September 23, 2025, to voice their concerns over what they describe as the “misapplication of justice” by the Mahama-led administration.
The NPP accuses the government of abusing state power to target former party officials and sympathizers through politically motivated investigations and arrests.
Speaking to Citi News on Monday, the party’s National Youth Organizer, Salam Mustapha, confirmed that all necessary arrangements had been finalized with the police in accordance with the Public Order Act.
“We notified the police five days in advance, as required. We also agreed on the routes and other logistical details. Everything is in place,” Mustapha said.
The protest follows a string of high-profile arrests, including the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako (also known as Chairman Wontumi), who was recently detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). Another regional executive, Kwame Baffoe (also known as Abronye DC), was also picked up by police.
The NPP says several other party members and supporters have faced similar arrests, which it believes are part of politically influenced investigations.
According to party leadership, today’s demonstration aims to highlight what it sees as the government’s selective application of justice and to demand fair and unbiased treatment of opposition figures.
