Lawyer and former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for North Dayi constituency, George Loh, says the charges leveled against the NDC National Chairman, Ofosu Ampofo are frivolous.
National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel
Ofosu Ampofo was at the Police Headquarters Monday, March 4 upon
invitation following the emergence of a tape recording of a meeting at
the party’s headquarters.
The audio, which has been authenticated by NDC Communication member,
Kwaku Boahen, exposes the evil intents of some party stalwarts and
sympathizers against some members of the ruling party, the Clergy and
the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensah.
In the said tape, Ofosu Ampofo confirmed that the NDC vigilante group,
Azorka boys were bussed from Tamale to Ayawaso West Wuogon to cause
mayhem, but they were repelled by the Kandahar Boys from Tamale who had
been recruited by national security.
Ofosu Ampofo also suggested that covert operations like abductions and
kidnappings could be used to tame political opponents ahead of the 2020
election. The NDC has, however, maintains that the tape was doctored.
Speaking to the issue on Atinka FM’s Am Drive with Ekourba Gyasi,
lawyer and former Member of Parliament for North Dayi constituency, George Loh
stated that the whole saga is a mere ploy by the opposition NPP to use
the Police to intimidate the national Chairman of the NDC, Ofosu Ampofo
and demoralize the NDC as a party in general.
He stated that “even if the allegations in the audio are authenticated, people have said worse things in this country”.
“Are the NPP more Ghanaian than others do we have separate laws for the
NPP and separate laws for the NDC? Kennedy Agyapong has said worse
things in this country, even the death of Investigative Journalist Ahmed
Suale is still hanging,” he fumed.
