The General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah popularly known as General Mosquito has confirmed that the content of a leaked audio making the rounds are comments he actually made.

In the leaked audio recording, Asiedu Nketia, who was addressing some party executives said: "When we were doing the collation, the system you (Chairman Ofosu Ampofo) brought saying it is robust and strong, when we collated five Regions; we are told it has crashed. This is the truth. So, when we decided to the court, we agreed to do manual collation. So, we gathered some people to collect the pick sheets and our Chairman sat on the Collation Committee that he will handle the collation. He went for some University people who did some shoddy work. When the time was up for me to stand in the dock, the results that they gave me if I use it to defend the case, I will be disgraced so we couldn't send those results to the court.

"They then said we should go to lawyer Tsikata. So we carried all the documents and presented them to lawyer Tsikata. These are things we shouldn't be saying publicly. When we gave them to him and in the next morning, after he had perused them, he replied us saying take back your grasscutter. If these are the things you are sending to the court, go and look for your lawyer because I can't do this work. This is why when we went to court and they said where are my results, I replied that I didn't bring any results. I believe you heard that; I don't know how to lie. I am saying if I become the Chairman, all this nonsense will not happen," General Mosquito added in the leaked audio recording.

Owning up to this when he passed by shortly on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', General Mosquito who is contesting for the General Secretary position of the NDC said he was even surprised people described it as 'leaked'.

"It is me, it is not a doctored tape . . . I spoke on more than five platforms on the same subject, all I said are true . . . when I heard it was a leaked tape I didn't even understand it, how can a public statement be a leaked one? . . . " he told host of the 'Kokrokoo' show Kwami Sefa Kayi.
