‘I’m not a nobody; I’m a senior government official’ – Nana Yaa Jantuah assures NPP its petition will reach Mahama

Nana Yaa Jantuah described the presentation of the petition as evidence that Ghana’s democracy remains functional, noting that the NPP had been permitted to march to the seat of government and present its grievances.

Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah has rejected Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s description of her as “a nobody”, insisting that she is a senior government official and will ensure that the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) petition reaches President John Mahama.

The NPP organised the “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration to present petitions to the three arms of government over what it describes as growing concerns about governance and the state of Ghana’s democracy.
