Regardless of that, she stated that she would not resign, insisting that the attempt to remove her was fundamentally flawed.
"I have also heard several commentaries in the media about how this process was born out of a stated political agenda to remove me and control the judiciary, and that it is a political effort that can only result in the charade of a hearing that is played out. I thank all those who have engaged in this conversation out of concern for my safety and well-being," she said during her address.

@stvyao stated:
"There’s so much to unpack from her speech. Innuendos, indirect accusations, and many subtle jabs at even the Supreme Court. Well… she just gave her accusers the dagger that will do away her judicial jugular. She has shot herself in the foot. I wonder what options she has left!"
@worldnewsUSA101 indicated:
"All this while, Mahama is right to remove her. She is very disrespectful and troublesome. She would be dismissing corruption cases."
