Responding to the question if the NPP feel threatened, Nana Obiri Boahen noted that “not at all. I have been active participant of partisan politics in this country from 1992 till today. As we speak now, I am the President for the Global Movement for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. I can assure you believe you me, some of us are not scared at all. I am not scared and I am not worried. We are going to beat them in 2024. Mark my words and read my lips.”
