In a statement that has set political circles buzzing, Johnson Nketiah has defended his party’s position following a controversial ministerial omission, questioning why former President John Mahama is being blamed.

Political Firestorm

Nketiah, speaking to the media, reminded critics that his party had previously publicly criticized President Nana Akufo-Addo over similar issues, arguing that the outrage over Mahama’s choices is inconsistent and politically motivated.

“We called out Akufo-Addo when we disagreed, so why is it a scandal when Mahama does something similar?” he questioned.

Ministerial Snub Sparks Debate

The comments come after a high-profile omission from Mahama’s ministerial lineup, which some opposition figures labeled a “snub.” Nketiah insists the reaction is blown out of proportion, urging party members and the public to focus on governance rather than personal grievances.

Social Media Erupts

Within hours, social media lit up with reactions — supporters praising Nketiah for speaking truth, while critics accused him of deflecting responsibility. Political analysts suggest this could fuel further debate ahead of upcoming party activities.

With this fiery declaration, Nketiah has thrown the spotlight back on Ghana’s political double standards, challenging both allies and critics to rethink their stance on accountability.

“It was our collective decision that Akufo-Addo’s 125 ministerial appointments were too many. Our government will make 60 appointments, so don’t blame Mahama if you don’t get one” — NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah told party members during his Central Region tour.
