Mahama asked me to receive NPP petition because Chief of Staff, others were at memorial event – Nana Yaa Jantuah
Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah has disclosed that President John Mahama personally nominated her to receive the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) petition during its "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration because the Chief of Staff and other senior government officials were attending the August 6 commemoration ceremony.
Nana Yaa Jantuah, a Presidential Staffer, revealed that President John Dramani Mahama instructed her to accept the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) petition during their "Democracy Under Attack" protest. This decision was made due to the national memorial service for the victims of the August 6 helicopter crash, during which several key government officials were present.
Jantuah downplayed accusations that she lacked the necessary seniority to receive the petition, emphasizing that the President himself selected her for the task. She explained that other senior officials were at the funeral, necessitating her involvement. Initially, the NPP delegation was expected to arrive at the Jubilee House around 11:00 a.m., but they arrived later at 12:30 p.m. and finally at 1:00 p.m. Upon meeting the delegation, Jantuah noticed resistance from certain members who objected to her receiving the petition on behalf of the President.
Despite this opposition, she chose not to react, as she was representing the President in accordance with his wishes.
