The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Aowin Constituency in the 2024 elections, Abanga Yakubu Fuseini, has explained the reason behind the party’s youth wing demonstration held on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, in Accra.

According to him, the protest was organised to assert their right to criticise the government and to remind the current administration that the New Patriotic Party will return to power in 2028.

Speaking to GhanaWeb TV at the event, he said, “We are expecting President Mahama to allow us to criticise him. He is not above the law. The NDC government is never above the law. We've enjoyed democracy since 1992. It should not be that under only the NDC regime, people are not allowed to express themselves freely”.

He further called on President Mahama to focus on pressing national issues such as “galamsey”, which has become a menace, unemployment, and poor road conditions, rather than targeting members of the NPP unnecessarily.

He emphasised that the challenges plaguing the citizenry are the reasons Ghanaians voted his government into power, not to harass opposition members.

He added that the NPP is returning to power and must therefore be allowed to express themselves freely.

“We beg him—that's why we presented a petition to him. He has a lot of challenges that he has to deal with: galamsey, unemployment, roads, and other issues. These are the things Ghanaians voted for him to come and address, not to harass NPP members. President Mahama, we know he's mismanaging the economy. The next 2028 NPP government is coming back. So, at least, he should allow us to express ourselves freely,” Abanga said.
