Andy Appiah-Kubi, lead counsel for Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, says he is unperturbed by the decision of the Director of Legal Affairs, Gary Nimako, to block his phone number.
In an interview on Adom News, Mr Appiah-Kubi dismissed the significance of Mr Nimako’s action, stating that he has no interest in maintaining personal communication with him.
“He is not someone I call. I don’t need his chats for anything. If he has blocked me, so what?” he said firmly.
Mr Nimako, who is also a lawyer, had accused Mr Appiah-Kubi of throwing him under the bus.
He made the disclosure on Asempa FM’s , expressing concern over Mr Appiah-Kubi’s public claim that he was unaware of a variation application Mr Nimako had filed, which allegedly frustrated the bail process for Chairman Wontumi.
However, Appiah-Kubi admitted that Mr Nimako had previously called to criticise him for not communicating a key decision beforehand.
“He did not inform me that he was going to take another decision,” he stated, adding, “I am a senior to him, and he should take his time.”
Quoting Proverbs 4:7, the former Asante Akyem North MP emphasised the importance of wisdom and understanding in professional and personal conduct.
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding,” he said, stressing that there is no basis for comparison between the two of them in terms of academic qualifications.
“He cannot challenge me on my academic affairs. I can publicly advertise my results and let him come and publish his own. He is not someone I call. In fact, he would rather call me. He should never call me,” he declared.
