Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president, has cried out to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates about party members being arrested by the John Mahama-led NDC government.
According to Dr Bawumia, the NPP needs to unite and regain power in the 2028 elections.
Speaking to some NPP delegates, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stated, “We all have seen the things going on. After losing power, the NDC are using power to intimidate us, harass us, and abuse us. In a short period, Chairman Wontumi was arrested, and they have arrested Chairman Abronye; they are arresting our TikTokers, bloggers and appointees. What all this means is that the NPP needs to be united so that in 2028, we will regain power.
Bawumia’s comments come following the Accra Circuit Court remanding NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, Abronye, into police custody.
According to a police statement, Abronye has been remanded into Police custody to reappear on Friday, 12th September 2025.
“The Ghana Police Service today, 9th September, 2025, arraigned Mr. Kwame Baffoe @ Abronye before the Circuit Court, Accra.
The court remanded him into Police custody to reappear on Friday, 12th September, 2025”, the police statement read.
The police had earlier stated on the social media platform X on September 8, 2025, that Abronye had been charged with offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace.
The police statement read, “ POLICE ARREST MR KWAME BAFFOE FOR OFFENSIVE CONDUCT.
The Ghana Police Service has today, 08/09/25, arrested Mr. Kwame Baffoe @ Abronye for Offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace.
He is currently in custody and will be put before Court”.
Also, Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has slammed the Accra Circuit Court decision to remand Abronye DC into police custody.
Some disgruntled NPP Supporters at the Accra Circuit Court vow vengeance on the National Democratic Congress when they win back power.
In a viral video, Salam Mustapha boldly stated, “Power has an end, the tables will turn, I am telling you the tables will turn and we will all have our revenge.”
Additionally, Reverand John Ntim Fordjour, a member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South, has warned the John Mahama-led NDC government that selective justice breeds retribution when power changes hands.
His warning follows the Accra Circuit decision to detain Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, in police custody.
According to Rev Ntim Fordjour, the NDC government is practising selective justice and using state security agencies to intimidate critics.
He cited the case of Kevin Taylor, who insulted judges, chiefs and others, also, Chairman Sofo Azorka’s ability to walk freely despite assaulting Chairman Buga and threatening the minority leader Afenyo-Markin.
In a post on social media on September 9, 2025, the lawmaker wrote, “Kevin Taylor insulted and threatened notable people, including Judges, Chiefs, Clergy, and the President, among others and was given a State Security escort to court in a Land Cruiser Prado under Mahama”.
“Azorka is walking free after assaulting Chairman Masawud and threatening Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, our Minority Leader. Chairman Abronye, on the other hand, was arrested in a dramatic manner, remanded, and put in a Black Maria to court like a hardened criminal”.
The lawmaker post added, “Pro-NPP social media influencers are constantly intimidated and mishandled by the NDC government and their remote-controlled security agencies as if they’re not citizens. It was Fante Comedy, Sir Obama, @adentaKumi and today Abronye.
“Selective justice breeds retribution when power changes hands. This tyranny is nauseating and will not be tolerated beyond four years. While they are at it, they must remember power changes hands and no regime is permanent”, Ntim Fordjour post concluded.
