Me, she doesn\u2019t want to see my face,\u201dOfosu-Ampofo allegedly said at the meeting which took place after the Ayawaso by-election.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d also incited the party communicators to verbally attack the Peace Council chairman Professor Emmanuel Asante.<\/p>\n<p>But commenting after Mr Ofosu Ampofo\u2019s first appearance in court today, Tuesday 16th April, 2019, Johnson Asiedu Nketia stated condemned what he called political prosecution of the NDC Chairman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is just political intimidation, I\u2019m not sure it will end anywhere because they themselves were not confident about the charges they were talking about. So we think that this is intimidation but this is the beginning of the fall of Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s government. He\u2019s demonstrated to the whole world that he\u2019s not in for any rule of law. He\u2019s just in power showing his machoism but it will not end anywhere. It will end in his removal from office come 2020 so we are not disturbed at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Wednesday, 17 April 2019 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2019-04-17 play videoGeneral Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has said the Akufo-Addo government has set itself up for defeat in the upcoming 2020 by deciding to engage in political prosecution of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":608062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-608061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
