Former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, has warned the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to underestimate the opposition NPP.

According to him, the NPP’s plans and strategies are worrying and the government should be cautious and act appropriately in all its dealings.

Speaking in an interview on a YouTube channel, Nana Obiri Boahen warned that a lot is happening in the country and urged the government to be careful.

“The kind of mindset that the NPP has picked, the NDC shouldn’t underestimate them at all. I don’t know when I will die, but the NPP has planned a lot, so the NDC shouldn’t underrate them.

“And if you know the history of this country, Kwame Nkrumah did a lot of things but on the day he was overthrown, the money that had his head on it was used by people as a song to insult him. I am a historian and I am talking,” he said.

He further warned President John Dramani Mahama to be careful about developments within his government and the country at large.

According to him, the President should not rely solely on his close allies but must also pay attention to voices from outside his inner circle, particularly those who criticise his administration and draw attention to issues within the government, if he wants to leave a lasting legacy.

“So, Mahama should be careful. Mahama is my elder brother and he should be guided by the lessons of history. A lot of things happening in your government are not coming from you, but they are happening.

“Open your eyes and ears and see what’s happening. Be extra careful because there has been a time in this country when people insulted Kwame Nkrumah.

“So, he should be extra careful. He shouldn’t listen only to those close to him because those people are only interested in what they will eat. He should try and listen to voices from outside. But if Prof. Mills were to be in government, a lot of the things happening today wouldn’t happen,” he said.

Cabinet approves long-pending diplomatic agreement between Ghana and Holy See Ghana has taken a major step towards resolving a decades-long diplomatic matter with the Holy See following Cabinet’s approval of a Host Country Agreement governing relations between the two parties. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the development after meeting the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana, Archbishop Julien Kaboré, on Friday, October 9, 2026. Mr Ablakwa said the approval followed sustained collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Apostolic Nunciature to address an agreement that had remained pending since Ghana established formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See. The first Apostolic Nuncio arrived in Ghana in 1976, but the Host Country Agreement had yet to be finalised. The agreement, which is consistent with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, sets out the framework governing relations between Ghana and the Holy See. It also provides for specific rights, privileges and immunities for holders of ecclesiastical office and members of the Catholic faithful in Ghana. Mr Ablakwa expressed satisfaction with the progress, commending officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for working to meet the target set for the agreement. In a post on X, he also acknowledged the commitment of President John Dramani Mahama and the Attorney-General to resolving the matter. Cabinet’s approval clears the way for the agreement to be submitted to Parliament for ratification in accordance with Article 75 of the 1992 Constitution. The Foreign Affairs Minister also recognised the Catholic Church’s longstanding contribution to Ghana’s development, particularly in education and healthcare. He said the country remained grateful for the Church’s role in shaping its moral values and establishing institutions that have contributed to national development across multiple sectors. The agreement is expected to formalise important aspects of the relationship between Ghana and the Holy See, subject to parliamentary ratification.
