According to the national chairman Kofi Portuphy, Dr. Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku's resignation was politically motivated.

"Since the assumption of office, the Akufo-Addo administration has forced several professional public servants out of their offices, and replaced them with loyalist party members… A typical example is the manner in which the governor of the Bank of Ghana has been prevented from completing his term of office and has been forced to resign prematurely," he said.
