She said: "Anytime the NPP is being bashed for any wrongdoing or irregularity, then boom reports come out to say otherwise."
"The NPP is excellent when it comes to PR and I will not be surprised if they influenced an international body to come out with such a report," she stated.
Speaking on Accra-based Happy FM, she said "We recently raised issues of security threats and instability and suddenly a report comes out saying Ghana is the 2nd most peaceful country in Africa. The report coming out at this time is suspicious."

She described members of the NPP as public relations gurus who can spin issues to their favour.
"They wear suits with pocket squares and bath in private jets so I will not be surprised if the report is directly from the NPP," Nana Yaa Jantuah noted.
