A Communications team member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ellen Ama Daaku, has called out members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over their attitude in the case involving Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
She believes the utterances of the NDC is uncalled-for and noted that no amount of their noise-making will change the outcome of the pending case.
The NDC has been calling the government names after the third accused person in the case, Richard Jakpa, alleged in open court on Thursday, May 23, 2024, that Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has had several meetings with him at odd hours and telephone conversations, impressing on him to skew his testimony to implicate the Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
In their view, the allegation confirmed long-held suspicions of the devious modus operandi of Godfred Dame and the government he represents.
Among other things, the NDC said the development affirmed how desperate the Nana Akufo-Addo-led administration is, to manipulate judicial processes to unjustly victimise political opponents for cheap political goal-scoring.
Speaking on the Angel Morning Show on Monday, May 27, 2024, Madam Daaku said the opposition party’s behavior would have no impact on the verdict, knowing very well that the judgment would be based on the court findings.
“The Court will handle the case rightfully to a logical conclusion therefore they [NDC] should back off with their noise-making because it won’t hold any water,” she told Okatakyei Afrifa-Mensah.
The failed NPP Women’s Organiser on that score entreated the leadership of the NDC to rather advise the Minority Leader to concede defeat by explaining how he spent the state money than the path they had chosen.
“I rather urge the NDC to let Ato Forson come out and tell Ghanaians what he used the money for and stop the noise they have started making.”
For Madam Ama Daaku, the opposition party is trying to indulge in partisan politics with the matter however she cautioned them against the practice, indicating that a matter of such magnitude should least be politicised.
