Ghanaian media personality, Oheneba Boamah, has stirred controversy with a bold declaration to lead a naked demonstration if former President and President-elect John Dramani Mahama reappoints George Akuffo Dampare as Inspector General of Police (IGP) in 2025. His remarks have sparked debate over political lobbying and the future of Ghana\u2019s police leadership.<\/p>\n
Speaking on his platform, Boamah accused certain individuals of lobbying for key positions in Mahama\u2019s incoming administration using unscrupulous means. He singled out IGP Dampare, alleging that he is maneuvering to retain his position despite being unfit for the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people have started lobbying for positions from President John Mahama using back doors,\u201d Boamah claimed. \u201cThe time we were at war, they were relaxing and behaving like professionals. They said they didn\u2019t want to have issues with the war at hand. If you get any position from John Mahama, it doesn\u2019t pain anyone, especially IGP Dampare. He is using back doors to maintain his IGP position, but it will not work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The outspoken media figure went further, accusing Dampare of harboring unresolved issues and describing him as a \u201cdangerous politician.\u201d He warned Mahama against retaining Dampare, suggesting that it would displease many police officers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIf John Mahama appoints you as IGP, I swear I will lead a naked demonstration against you,\u201d he vowed. \u201cThis is because you have issues that we need to look into. One of the most dangerous politicians in this country is IGP Dampare. President Mahama, I\u2019m begging you, sack Dampare to go home early. If you have any IGP to sack, then it\u2019s Dampare. This will make the policemen and women happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oheneba Boamah\u2019s comments highlight lingering tensions within Ghana\u2019s political and security sectors. While Dampare has been praised by many for his professional approach to policing, he has also faced criticism from certain quarters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As Ghana prepares for a transition of power, questions over key appointments like that of the IGP are expected to dominate discussions. Whether Mahama will retain Dampare or appoint a new police chief remains to be seen, but Boamah\u2019s fiery remarks have undoubtedly set the tone for what could be a contentious decision.<\/p>\n
