According to the communicator, President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice on the grounds of establishing a prima facie case over three petitions against Justice Gertrude Torkornoo is an act of ‘domestic violence.’
“All the women in Ghana should come together to report President Mahama to Auntie Naa because his action is an act of domestic violence against all women. They should send him there and taunt him, just as is done to other men on that platform,” he said during a discussion on Wontumi FM on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
President Mahama suspended Chief Justice Torkornoo with immediate effect on April 22, 2025, following three petitions filed against her alleging misconduct.
However, according to Agyemang, President Mahama’s decision contradicts his portrayal as an advocate and supporter of affirmative action.
“President Mahama was the same person who campaigned by telling Ghanaians that he is all for women’s empowerment, which was why he chose a female running mate. Now, he is engaging in substitution by rough tactics; he wants to remove the Chief Justice and the Electoral Commissioner, who are both women. That is akin to when a man deceives a woman into marriage and later mistreats her. So, the women should report him to Auntie Naa,” he said.
The Auntie Naa show is a social program hosted by Auntie Naa on Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.
Following the establishment of a prima facie case against the Chief Justice by the president, in consultation with the Council of State, and her subsequent suspension, a five-member committee has been set up to investigate the allegations, with Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie appointed as Acting Chief Justice during the probe.
