Mahama Must Know His Governance Is Coming to an End – Titus Nii Kwartei Slams Government Over Miracles’ Arrests
NPP member and former Member of Parliament for Tema East Constituency, Titus Glover Nii Kwartei Quartey has launched a scathing attack on the John Dramani Mahama administration, accusing the government of using arrests to intimidate the opposition and distract Ghanaians from pressing national issues.
Speaking on the arrest of NPP’s Miracles Aboagye to Maurice Otoo of Kessben Digital, Kwartei said President Mahama “must know that he is bringing his governance to an end,” insisting that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) remains undeterred despite what he described as politically motivated arrests.
He declared that “we (NPP) would do the same to the NDC when we resume power in 2028,” adding that the arrests would neither discourage nor stop the party’s activities.
“I know I can be arrested today, and I am ready,” he said, arguing that the actions of the government amount to intimidation of the opposition rather than the enforcement of justice.
According to him, the current administration is failing to promote peace in the country and has instead resorted to unnecessary arrests.
Kwartei also criticized President Mahama’s handling of the recent floods, contrasting the work of Dr. Mahamoud Bawumia on the ground with the President’s aerial inspection of affected communities.
“Whilst Bawumia is on the ground visiting flood victims, President Mahama chooses to take an aerial view,” he stated.
He further described the government’s actions as diversionary tactics, stressing that although people who commit offences should be held accountable, the current process of making arrests raises concerns.
“What they are doing is just diversionary tactics. I am not saying people should not be arrested for wrongdoing, but the process of arrest is in a rumble style and they should be very careful,” Kwartei cautioned.
His comments come amid heightened political tension over recent arrests involving opposition figures and growing debate over the government’s response to national challenges
