NDC’s Appeal Against Ya-Na’s Ruling Will Be An Infatuated Venture – Kweku Baako

Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Malik Kweku Baako says though he is somewhat deficit in legal matters, he can emphatically and rightly predict that should the National Democratic Congress (NDC) attempt to appeal the High Court ruling on the Ya-Naa’s murder based on the same sets of facts earlier presented in court, it will be “an infatuated venture” despite the fact that “it is their constitutional right.”

Some members of the NDC, according to Mr. Baako, have been pontificating on radio and on tv and resurrecting issues that were unnecessarily raising the expectations of the people of Dagbon. He added that the NDC had deployed a particular direction to cure their “mischief” concerning the matter.

“The NDC has been able to maximum their electoral strength in the Northern region using the Ya-Na and because they could not succeed, the Andanis’ had directed their anger at them and not the Abudus’, Mr. Baako said.

He added that the NDC would continue to get things wrong concerning the Ya- Na, because they have boxed themselves into a situation where they would have to start a fresh investigation “without credible evidence.”

Sounding a bit charitable to the NDC, he advised that the party should thoroughly examine reports from the WUAKU, the criminal prosecution of Edana and the libel suit that General Hamidu filed.

Mr. Baako revealed that the NDC would try looking for a certain former BNI director (Ellis Fordjour) who resigned relative to the Yendi crisis, but assured Ghanaians that “the Andani youth will go back on the streets if they keep raising their expectations and fail to fulfill them.”

He was critical of the fact that everything seemed rather focused on the late overlord of Dagbon’s death but little or nothing on the killers of the 29 other people said to be part of the Ya-Na’s retinue and inquired whether the charge sheet was only on the Ya-Na’s death.
