Hamza Sayibu Suhuyini, a member of the governing National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) communications team, has criticised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) ‘Yɛnnsuro Ahunahuna’ protest, describing it as lacking a genuine fight for accountability.
According to Suhuyini, the NPP’s demonstration was driven by self-serving interests rather than a desire to promote Ghana’s democracy.
His position follows the NPP’s September 23, 2025, protest in Accra, where party members expressed dissatisfaction with perceived injustices and harassment by the ruling government.
Beginning from the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange at Carprice, popularly referred to as Circle, the protestors moved to the Ghana Police Headquarters and presented a petition to Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
However, Mr. Suhuyini believes the exercise was nothing short of championing the parochial interest of some people within the party, rather than serving the interest of the state.
He stressed that unlike the previous administration, the Mahama government will allow the state institutions to work, contrary to what the NPP is alleging.
“As for the state institutions, we will not interfere when it comes to their functions. The President Mahama I know will not turn himself into a ‘clearing agent’ even before the police CID comes out with its report on suspected criminalities of his appointees,” he said.
“But you need to understand also that what happened yesterday was not a demonstration sincerely organised to expand the frontiers of our democracy. It was simply an avenue for Salam Mustapha to launch his campaign as the national organiser of the NPP. He was testing the waters,” he said on Channel One TV on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Suhuyini’s comments reflect a broader narrative that the NPP is struggling to remain relevant amid the current government’s efforts to deliver on its promises.
As a member of the NDC’s communications team, he believes the NPP has misplaced its priorities and resorted to attempts aimed at diverting attention from the government’s achievements.
