Former Deputy General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho has criticized Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte for his unwarranted tweet and subsequent apology to the Supreme Court for speaking ill of the highest Court of the land.
In a tweet in response to the former NDC parliamentary aspirant for Shai Osudoku constituency, the former Director of Communications at the Presidency during the late Prof. Mills' administration said he did it just to please his cult hero who is abroad having fun.
"You unwisely insulted the revered Supreme Court of Ghana just to please your cult hero who is abroad having fun. Now, you are hot, and writing letters of pology trying to use the back door to beg for forgiveness. Did you have to get yourself into such mess in the place?" Koku Anyidiho tweeted.
Prof. Kpessa-Whyte's Apology
The former NDC parliamentary aspirant for Shai Osudoku constituency and lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, has issued an apology for speaking ill of the Supreme Court through a tweet.
Following a recent Twitter post where he referred to the Supreme Court as a “Stupid Court,” Dr. Kpessa-Whyte has expressed remorse for his remarks.
The summons issued alleges that he posted the following;
“The highest Court of the Land has been turned into a ‘Stupid Court’.
“They have succeeded in turning a Supreme Court into a Stupid Court. Common – sense is now a scarce commodity.”
“A major element in the death of democracies is partisanship in the delivery of justice.
"Our judges need lessons in political philosophy and ethics.
“Time will tell.”
Dr. Kpessa-Whyte’s tweets came shortly after the Supreme Court ordered Parliament to remove the name of NDC Assin North MP, James Gyakye Quayson from its records due to procedural breaches during his nomination and election in 2020.
The Supreme Court has summoned Prof. Kpessa-Whyte to explain why he should not be held in contempt for describing the nation’s highest judicial body in such a manner.

Cult Hero is better than a Lunatic like Koku
He is a botsua paa. Going to jail will help him be straight in his thinking. Bontsua.
Was is not the sane Dr. Kpessa White who boldly told the Supreme Court and the whole country that his laptop went off because he forgot his laptop charger home for 3 days whilst at the EC Strong Room? Imagine if that was his student's answer to the question 'why was your laptop off at EC office when you knew you were going to spend 3 important days there'? I think some of the sharp brains are loosing it to politics. That's sad.
I don't get this whyte boy. If you insist your attack was aimed at the American Supreme Court why apologize to the Supreme Court justices of Ghana ? Thinking that you can be smart you have only succeeded in exposing yourself . Are Ghanaian judges American judges . How do you insult American judges and instead of apologizing to them you rather apologize to judges of another country. You have proven that paper qualification is not necessarily wisdom . A Phd holder lecturing in a University speaking this way . Just go and face the judges . You are lucky Justice Atuguba is on retirement . You would have seen your smoothness level. What you did amounts to political galamsey. Next time be smart
I have always said and continue to tell my ndc brethrens that when your finger is in someone's mouth you don't hit the middle of his head. You guys continue to insult the judicial from JJ time todate and even some top judges were killed and instead of mendiant your ways with them, u continue to insult them on top. What a ***barred word*** party koraa bi this. Then u take your cases to this same insulted group of people to arbitrate for u. When will some of u start thinking normally as a party that wants to come to power. A word to the wise is enough.
This 'huhunious' face Pro. Kpessa Wyte should not be left off the hook. There is no difference between Montie 3 and what he has said. If indeed the supreme not ***barred word***, then condition precedence must apply here period.
But wait oo. What has Koku got to do with this? Why dont he leave the man to answer for whatever he has done himself instead of trying to bring in other people. Bitter Koku, sorry ooo
A custodial sentence will teach him and his kind a valuable lesson. Apology not accepted
