National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has rejected calls by many Ghanaians not to reduce the Canadian kidnapping saga to the usual partisan politics.
According to him, it has become necessary for the main opposition NDC to politicize the Canadian kidnapping issue as until the arrest of the kidnappers, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had sought to portray the NDC as a party full of bandits.
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Sammy Gyamfi, who expressed unhappiness with the way his National Chairman Ofosu Ampofo and the NDC have been wrongfully indicted, said it is in order for the NDC to name the kidnappers and the political party they are affiliated to.
“They (NPP) are tarnishing the name of the NDC to the world as a party of kidnappers and so if today, there is evidence that those engaging in that nefarious act are not NDC members but rather they are NPP activists, you are telling us not to identify their political lineage to clear our name from the bad image the NPP has carved for us?” he angrily asked.
“Some people want the NPP to continue tarnishing the name of Ofosu Ampofo and the NDC and therefore are uncomfortable when we reveal the identities of kidnappers as NPP members, we will continue to politicize the case. They should stop making us angry; we will continue to say it in the morning, afternoon, evening and at night until the world and Ghanaians know the kidnappers and the political party they belong to. We are serious,” he fumed.
He claimed until President Akufo-Addo and his government took over power from former President John Dramani Mahama administration, nobody ever tagged the NDC National Chairman Samuel Ofosu Ampofo as a criminal; thus the Church of Pentecost Elder had lived and served the country for many years without bastardization from anyone.
He added that comments by government communicators and ministers all attest to the fact that the NDC National Chairman is behind the kidnapping cases in the country without any evidence to buttress their claims except that "so-called doctored tape".
“It is only President Akufo-Addo and his NPP government that out of sheer hatred, they have vowed to disgrace Ofosu Ampofo for no reason . . . nobody has brought any evidence that Ofosu Ampofo is a kidnapper but whenever they talk on radio on kidnapping, they link it to him and they base their claims on a certain doctored tape of Ofosu Ampofo, mentioning kidnapping which is a pure lie; even in that doctored tape there is nothing like kidnapping which the police dropped their first charged when they listened to the tape,” he chided.

Now we know who are the kidnappers,Npp crooks and their evil plans has exposed them in broad day light in shame
this guy is an id**t. Doesnt he know that even if the kidnappers were NPP Ministers, a crime is a crime and does not have party colours and also that crime cannot wipe the voice of ofosu ampofo off the tape? This common sense and I am wondering why this guy is so low on common sense
I thought this boy is a youth organizer ,how and when has he become the leader and the spokesperson for a party of so much respectful,renowned intellectuals,elders and great women ? For such reason will this party go back for several years.the hearing public are human beings ,not animals.To the wise a drop of wisdom is enough.This country will not loose all including respect for elders.
NDC SHOULD THINK TO SPONSOR GHANA MOVIE DIRECTORS TO USE THEIR BRAINS AND MAKE MOVIES OF KIDNAPPING AND CRIMES. SUCH APPROACH WILL HELP THE NATION IN TWO FRONTS. FIRST IT WILL EXPOSE THE OPUS OPERANDI, THE MANNER OF OPERATION OF THE CRIMINALS AND CREATE FOR THE PUBLIC THE AWARENESS OF THE CRIMINALS ACTIVITIES. SECOND IT WILL PROVIDE JOBS FOR MANY, INCLUDING SOME WHO WOULD HAVE BECOME CRIMINALS. THE MOVIES OF AKOMFO MAME WATER AND OTHER IN THE MARKET ARE ALL OUTMODED. THEY DO NOT REFLECT THE REALITY OF LIFE IN THE MODERN GHANA SOCIETY. IF ANYTHING AT ALL THEN THEY SHOULD EXPOSE THE EVIL AND STUPIDITYYY OF THE SO CALLED PROPHETS RELIGIOUS PERSONS WHO ACTIONS AND FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE SO DESPICABLE AND INHUMAN.
So you believe that Elder Ofosu Ampofo tape was doctored, these are people who only believe what people tell them, they have no m!nds to think themselves., continue to remain in your f0u00ls sh!t hole, D:U:MP
Herrrh gyae ***barred word*** no
The very people who you are asking to stop making you angry will show you how to really get angry at the polls. The NDC council of elders are as st*uup*id as this boy so nobody in the party sees anything wrong with his posturing and style of communication. Beyond having a bad product as a candidate for 2020, the national officers they elected are seriously vulgar, uncultured and sen*se1ess. THEY HAVENT LEARNT ANYTHING after their terrible defeat in 2016.
like seriously, are the big boys in NDC saying they are okay with the way this boy is handling the affairs of the NDC party. I keep asking myself this question. Well let me shut my mouth.
Ghana is really Sick , I never believed it until I witness it by myself. Does crime have POLITICAL COLOR? I wish the Queen Of England takes back this country.What is wrong with the so called politicians in IT.
