The President of the Political Nurses and Midwives Association affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Amoako Baa, has ignited controversy with a fiery rhetorical question aimed at critics of the ruling government. In a recent address, he asked, Where were you when Akufo-Addo was bathing in the skies with Serwaa Broni? a comment that has since sparked heated political debate.

Dr. Baa’s statement appears to defend the NPP’s achievements and leadership style amid growing criticisms, particularly from opposition voices and disillusioned members of the public. While not directly addressing the longstanding allegations surrounding President Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni, his words suggest a dismissive stance toward what he perceives as misplaced focus on personal controversies over policy performance.

Critics argue that the reference to bathing in the skies widely interpreted as a jab at the president’s use of luxury air travel and alleged personal scandals distracts from the real issues facing Ghana, such as inflation, youth unemployment, and the health sector’s challenges. Others, however, see Dr. Baa’s rhetoric as a bold attempt to reframe political discourse, urging Ghanaians to look beyond tabloid-style narratives.

The real question is: what have you done for your country while you point fingers? Dr. Baa asked during his speech, calling on health professionals to rally behind the NPP’s vision.

As the 2024 election dust settles and Ghana gears up for the next phase of leadership, statements like Dr. Amoako Baa’s underscore the polarized atmosphere in the nation’s political landscape—where personal sagas and party loyalty continue to intertwine with national conversations.

Whether the comment will galvanize support or fuel backlash remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the political theatre in Ghana shows no signs of slowing down.
