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 . . . ”

I just dont know what makes the npp leadership so co.wardly.Is it too much schooling or they just lack the balls for African politics?.Today the ndc lo;o.ting brigade are walking free after loo.ti;ng state coffers dry,talking no.ns.ense all over the media.Ndc agents now dictating and running the show in gh when they should be running helter-skelter for their massive thie.ve.ry and cor.ruption.The npp are more democratic and booklong than even the originators of democracy.Its a shame.After one year of npp's weakness and no action,ndc crooks have become emboldened and started emerging from under the rock to taunt and rob their lo;o.t in our face.Individuals who have st.o.len,embezz.led and mis.managed BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PUBLIC MONEY turn around to bastardize/sabotage polices like the FREE SHS benefiting the Ghanaian poor.Special prosecutor this ,special prosecutor that:Maybe its a case of scratch my back I scratch yours.Nana Addo has now proven THAT THERE ARE NO TRUE LEADERS IN GHANA.NKRUMAH WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE LEADER GHANA EVER HAD AND WILL REMAIN SO TILL KINGDOM COME.
Ofosu AMPOFO is a fully grown ***barred word*** ***barred word***. Period. Where do we find such empty ***barred word*** to mess up the governance of this beautiful country. Hey bushman Just ***barred word***. NDC NKWASEAFO KUO.
Go on and resist. Who cares. I doubt whether you can make it to the forefront. Dare and you will be crashed like 'Chars Kele' tin.

When you stood on nation television and propagated visible untruth that you were in a comfortable lead. enti oye nokware de eye elder wo chapel aa? end justifies the means indeed. Had it not been the vigilance of NPP enkye wo de comfortable lead dem ara na besia ye bo NPP fuo one corner, wo be te dwee John Mahama has won, wo be te dwee but NDC lost their majority in parliament. Awodze ewo nsem pii to answer when the LORD comes se nyim aa.
WHY IS THE NDC SOO PROTECTIVE OF CHARLOTTE OSEI? is she above the law? did the president ask her and her deputies to tell the public the bad deeds going on at the EC? NDC PLEASE LEAVE THE PRESIDENT OUT OT THIS. Charlotte has laid her bed so allow her to lie on it.
When blocked headed by dint of politics gets into authority what should we expect. The current crop of NDC leadership is beyond garbage. They have to change all of them at the next congress. What has the implosion at the EC got to do with politics. Are they telling us the EC chairman was nominated to do the bidding of the EC but failed and for that matter her stay in office guarantees their win in 2020? Very Pathetic we've had all these non entity in government
I dont really know ,if this our toddling democracy has to stay or sliping away.I dont really understand us as a nation,when the president working with our own constituition,oppostion political party NDC is daring him.They talk as if the nation belongs to them.Enough is enough!!we are sick and tired of your insults and threats,lets Ghana be free.
ANY FUUUULLL CAN BE CHAIRMAN OF NDC.
Ofosu Ampofo, you can scream, sing, talk politics about this impeachment, but it will not impede the course of justice. In the end justice will prevail. I dont know the Church of Pentecost you are an elder of, and I pity that congregation!
Ofosu Ampofo should have cautioned the CJ instead of the President. If he has cautioned CJ that would have been contempt so Ofosu Ampofo chose the soft option...a coward. Charlotte Osei can defend herself as she will go through due process
