A viral video from Nsawam has sent shockwaves through the political landscape as a popular National Democratic Congress (NDC) activist known as Paddlemore issued a "final warning" to the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Hon. Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine.
The video, which began circulating on Sunday, February 22, 2026, shows Paddlemore surrounded by enthusiastic supporters at a local gathering, where he accused the Attorney General’s office of being "too soft" and "failing to deliver the justice the people voted for" in the 2024 elections.

The Ultimatum: Resign or Face "Action"
Paddlemore, a vocal grassroots mobilizer, expressed frustration with the pace of high-profile prosecutions under the current administration.
"Enough is Enough": He argued that the Ghanaian public expects swifter accountability for past corruption and that the Attorney General’s office has become a "bottleneck" for progress.
Forced Resignation Threat: Paddlemore explicitly warned that if Dr. Dominic Ayine does not resign voluntarily within a specified timeframe, the grassroots base would "force his hand" through massive, sustained protests at the Ministry of Justice.
Nsawam Context: The choice of Nsawam for the declaration is significant, as it remains a politically vibrant area with a strong NDC presence following the 2024 "Reset" campaign.
Dr. Dominic Ayine and "Operation ORAL"
The ultimatum comes despite the Attorney General's recent efforts to ramp up anti-corruption measures through his signature initiative, Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).
The ORAL Initiative: Launched in 2025, the program is designed to prosecute high-profile financial misconduct and recover misappropriated public funds.
2026 Outlook: In late 2025, Dr. Ayine declared that 2026 would be a "different year" for justice delivery, promising that several high-stakes cases would finally reach their conclusion.
Cabinet Status: Dr. Ayine, a seasoned legal scholar and MP for Bolgatanga East, was appointed by President John Dramani Mahama in January 2025 and remains a central figure in the current Cabinet.
