The Communications Director of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo’s campaign team, Nana Akomea says MP for Yendi, Baba Iddrisu, is a frustrated and confused man.
Nana Akomea’s comments follow claims by Mr Baba Iddrisu that Nana Akufo-Addo influenced the recent High Court ruling that freed all 14 suspects standing trial for the alleged murder of the late Dagbon Overlord, Ya-Na Yakubu Andani II.
The MP claims that prior to the ruling on Tuesday March 29, Nana Akufo-Addo had visited Dagbon and had promised the Abudus that he would secure the acquittal and discharge of the suspects.
But speaking to Adom News, Nana Akomea said the MP’s comments smack of immaturity and frustration.
He explained that the pressure from the Northern Youth for Justice and the Andani youth had frustrated Mr Iddrisu hence his accusations against Nana Addo which are baseless.
The Okaikoi South MP stated that with all the issues arising from the ruling, he had expected the MP to rather sit up and find solutions to calm down the Andani youth who have been on rampage since the ruling rather than accusing Nana Addo of something he knows nothing about.
He added that Nana Akufo-Addo was neither the Judge who presided over the case or the lawyer for the 14 people who were accused so there was no way he could have influenced the decision.
According to Nana Akomea he is however not surprised at the posture of the NDC members and some government functionaries at the ruling because the NDC Government had always shown their distrust in the Chief Justice and the Judiciary.
