Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has condemned the use of state security to harass political opponents.
His comments comes after his visit the the home of Rev. Ntim Fordjour whose residence was surrounded by personnel of the National Investigative Bureau on April 9, 2025.
To the former President, the people of Ghana will not accept this descent into lawlessness and fear emphasizing that our democracy is hinged on due process and rule of law.
He used the opportunity to call on Party faithful to remain calm and steadfast, and law-abiding in this period of unfortunate political persecution.
Making this position known in a post shared via social media, the former Vice President said “Last night, following the attempted raid by some alleged officials of the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), I visited Hon. Rev. John @NtimFordjour, MP for Assin South and Ranking Member of Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Interior. Rev. Fordjour was in high spirits and undaunted.
I urge all Party faithful to remain calm, steadfast, and law-abiding in this period of unfortunate political persecution. I wish to reiterate my earlier submission to the President, H.E John Dramani Mahama, to immediately rein in his security operatives. State institutions must not be reduced to political tools used to harass and intimidate opponents. Ghanaians will not accept this descent into lawlessness and fear. Our democracy is hinged on due process and rule of law.
