We need a full time chairman whose attention is undivided.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It noted that \u201cthe national chairman needs all the time in the world to fight the ongoing legal action against him and to help restore his \u2018dented\u2019 image and also restore his integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are hereby demanding the immediate resignation of the National chairman of  the NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo to enable him concentrate on his ongoing legal case. It will be prudent for him to step aside, and for the NDC to focus on prosecuting the election 2020 agenda,\u201d it urged.<\/p>\n<p>The Action Movement, it said, believed that the resignation would be in the best interest of Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, and the larger interest of the NDC. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also call on the National Council of Elders to, as a matter of urgency, bring pressure to bear on the national chairman to do the honorable thing,\u201d it noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Melvin Tarlue <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/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>Samuel Ofosu Ampofo A NATIONAL Democratic Congress (NDC) group calling itself the NDC Action Movement, has asked the party\u2019s National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, to resign and concentrate on his ongoing criminal trial.
