Speaking during a courtesy call on the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Imane Ouaadil, om Tuesday, May 19, 2026, Salam Mustapha stressed the need for respect for political freedoms and due process, while warning of escalating political tensions if the situation is not addressed.
“If this nonsense doesn’t stop, we will weaponize our support base and make this country extremely ungovernable for them. We are sending this warning and caution to the government to release Abronye; otherwise, should anything happen to Abronye in custody, you’ll have us to contend with,” he said.
“And this constant harassment and intimidation of NPP people, if you people don’t stop it, we’ll make sure that we react in such a way that you will not be happy with us,” he added.
The comments come amid growing political exchanges between the opposition NPP and the government led by President John Dramani Mahama, with both sides trading accusations over fairness, governance, and civil liberties.
