'My son's gold deals are clean' – NDC Abuakwa South Chairman fires back at critics

Abuakwa South Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Sanusi Mohammed, has debunked allegations made against his son regarding his gold mining activities.

In a video shared on X on October 14, 2025, Alhaji Sanusi Mohammed stated that the accusations made by some individuals regarding his son's mining business are false.

He clarified rumours on social media, where some individuals claimed that his Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), who recently appeared before the Local Government and Rural Development Committee, noted that his son was engaging in illegal mining.

According to Alhaji Sanusi Mohammed, the comment passed by the MCE was only to show how serious he is about combating illegal mining, and not the speculations on social media.

"The MCE's task force visited my son's mining site during their operation, and while there, they pointed out something they were not doing right. Two days later, he appeared before parliament, where he was questioned about his relationship with me and his friendly demeanor while inspecting my son's mining site.

"He responded that if he was at the mining site of his constituency chairman to inspect his son's work, then that should inform the committee how serious he is about the work. So I don't know why people are twisting the whole thing up," he said.

Sanusi Mohammed further reiterated that his son is a gold merchant and that his dealings are legal, contrary to speculation by some individuals.

"Whatever he is doing his legal. He is even a gold merchant, and as a father, I am a politically exposed person. So if he does anything bad, I will equally be affected, so there is no way I would watch him do something bad.

"Let me tell you that he didn't start this business today. He has been doing it under various political regimes... They should thoroughly check and ensure that he has all the documents. But you don't go about speculating rumours without evidence," he added.
