PNP's Janet Nabila Calls Arise Ghana Protest 'Shameful' and 'Injustice'

Janet Asana Nabila, Leader and Chairperson of the People’s National Party (PNP), has criticised the picketing at the American Embassy in Accra, by Arise Ghana, describing their actions as “injustice” and “shameful.” In an interview on Joy Prime on Wednesday, January 21,2026, she wondered where Arise Ghana was when the Attorney General granted nolle prosequi to members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). "Arise Ghana, were they in this country when the Attorney General gave noelle prosequi to NDC members? Why we picketed against Ofori-Atta not Sedina Tamakloe, others – Arise Ghana explains "Because Arise Ghana, the majority of their membership comes from the NDC. They never opened their mouth. In fact, they went on a vacation," she remarked. Nabila argued that the group’s sudden activism against Ken Ofori-Atta, a former finance minister, demonstrates political selectivity. “These are not the types of movements we want in this country, political movements that are very selective. When their preferred government is in power, they remain silent. When it’s the opposition, they become active. That is shameful,” she said. Frank Davies responds to Bernard Mornah's accusations against Ken Ofori-Atta Arise Ghana has announced an indefinite picket at the US Embassy in Accra starting from January 20, 2026, to demand the extradition of Ofori-Atta to face corruption-related charges in Ghana. The hearing of the case involving former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta has been adjourned to April 27, 2026. Ofori-Atta appeared before a United States immigration court in Virginia on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, as proceedings continue over his immigration status. The hearing followed his detention in the United States after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him on January 6, 2026. According to the US authorities, the former finance minister no longer has lawful status to remain in the country after the revocation of his visitor visa.
