National Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has sent a strong warning to President Nana Akufo-Addo not to orchestrate a plot to remove EC Boss, Charlotte Osei, from office.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Kokrokoo on Peace FM, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo expressed suspicions of President Akufo-Addo and his government's attempt to manipulate the probe into the corruption and abuse of power allegations against Mrs. Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Amankwa.
According to him, it has always been a plan by the governing New Patriotic Party to get rid of the EC Boss since she was appointed by Ex-President John Dramani Mahama.
He recounted machinations by some NPP stalwarts who doubted the competence of Mrs. Charlotte Osei and to him; the President is allegedly in cahoots with those party members to ensure that the EC Boss definitely vacates her office.
“For the first time, people wanted to throw the supreme law of the land – the constitution - aside because of some parochial interest . . . She’s one of the most vilified public officers ever seen in this country in recent times but I doff my hat for her that she stood very tall in all this and did her work effectively. As we say the end justifies the means, she’s been able to work for a successful election”, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo stated on Peace FM.
He was therefore certain that the petition to impeach the EC Boss is a "political agenda" on the government's table.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that what is happening now is more political than anything. And I want to caution President Nana Akufo-Addo to be very very careful because running a nation is not like leading NPP . . . My caution is that the Chief Justice, the Presidency must be careful the way they handle this matter.
“ . . I am cautioning the President because this matter is political and I want to say it’s political. And there is lack of transparency in the way this is being handled and it is being handled to achieve a certain end. We’re also in politics. We know the sort of conspiracies that are going round. And I’m cautioning that they must be very very careful because some people are alleged to have even met and decided the outcome of this matter before the matter even goes there . . . Let us be careful that we do not politically manipulate this to achieve some certain ends . . . ”

You guys have been daring NPP govt to go to court over any NDC member NPP thinks has indulged in any korrupt practices. So why this unnecessary cry? No amount of distraction will be entertained, the law should work. Why did you not rally behind Mrs Loretta Lamptey formerly of NCCE? Now you know your only hope of winning elections is Charlotte. Pray that she survives the impeachment process.
Braa Ofosu fotoo,you surprised me. If indeed the EC officials have committed crimes against the state and it has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt, you will still oppose it.I wonder why your party NDC officials and supporters always supports criminal,for example Woyome,Ameri deals,GYEEDA,ISOFOTON etc.It pains me a lot, because we cannot have good nation when crimes and bad things are protected.
OFOSU AMPOFO MUST GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS CURRENT STATUS IN GHANA. INDEED POLITICS HAS CATAPULTED YOU INTO FAME AND RICHES. I AM NOT SURPRISE THAT YOU WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH TO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST IN POLITICS AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SCREAMING, SHOUTING,JUMPING AND THREATENING THOSE TROWING STONES TO WHERE YOUR EGGS ARE. CHARLOTTE OSEI IS YOUR SURE BET TO USE TO COME BACK TO POWER TO ENRICH YOURSELF AGAIN.THE LAW MUST TAKE ITS COURSE AND LET ME TELL YOU AND YOUR NDC THAT YOU CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING. IF THE WOMAN IS FOUND CULPABLE OF THE COMPLAINTS THE OBVIOUS MUST HAPPEN.
The two of you think just like Ofosu Ampofo whom i think was made an elder because he used his corrupt ways in the church. I dont know why Amaliba, Koku, Ofosu and the babies with sharp teethes are fighting for Charlotte and attacking the president for no reason. What fear do u have if Charlotte is sacked after she is found guilt. The laws of the country governs all and no one is above those laws, not even the president. I dare u to tell JM to go and do robbery and see if when caught he will be left to go without facing the laws. @Good news, what basis do u have than Nana should get down, @GG is Charlotte is sacked wat will u do? You guys must wise up and not let ***barred word***#* politics ruin ur lives.
I tell you Nsawam will be a nice place for all these people
All the security agencies are ready to crush any resistance. The laws of Ghana have to work. This process will be smooth. Ghana belongs to Ghanaians.
The process will be live and coloured to your eyes and hearing probably on GTV
"For the first time, people wanted to throw the supreme law of the land – the constitution - aside because of some parochial interest" WOYOME also bypassed the constitution of the land and moved to African court... Abrokyire nyinaa saa, braa!!!
It is the likes of Ofosu Ampofo who make Christianity so unattractive and difficult in this country. He claims to be a church elder but just listen to him. Common truth and honesty have eluded this bloke. Ampofo and his NDC are always on the side of WRONGDOING/CORRUPTION/FRAUD/DECEIT ETC. He amass the ill-gotten wealth and heads to church to give thanks to God, without a shred of guilt. Pathetic!
You and who? And this 1d0t calls himself a Christian and an elder. People like Ofosu Ampofo are the very reason I have little or no faith religion anymore. We aspire and compare ourselves to western democracies. We are proud to cover ourselves with the glory of being a peaceful civilised country because every four years, we exercise our franchise through elections. Yet when lawful procedures are engaged to hold public office holders who are paid by the tax payer accountable, the likes of this dishonourable latter day c0rrupt minded and my0pic Ofosu Ampofo comes out with such bu11$h1t. Look at the Mueller commission's investigation of Trump and his administration. With such people at the helm of political parties, Ghana has less hope.
