Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Allotey Jacobs has stuck his neck out for the NDC’s National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo over a leaked audio circulating on social media.
The NDC National Chairman was captured on the leaked tape, unequivocally charging members of the party to "wage war" on the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa.
The recording which is believed to be from a meeting held at the NDC's headquarters after the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence, revealed the NDC's strategy to regain power, come 2020.
”We must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair, me she doesn’t want to see my face...” he stressed, adding that the party will also make life unbearable for some members of the governing New Patriotic Party.
“We will go after them, but we will not go after them face-to-face. We have to use tactical operation to make life very uncomfortable for them. We will target some people and we will let the people know that their lives are in danger.
“Once their lives are in danger they themselves will be careful. As for that one I want to assure that we will go all out to ensure . . .as President Mahama said when it comes to this game we are better than them," he said.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" programme, Allotey Jacobs stated emphatically that he will defend Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo because he is cocksure he didn't mean those statements on the leaked tape.
According to him, some people within the NDC Communication team once exposed him (Allotey) in the same fashion as they have done to Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo.
“2016 elections, the same thing they did to me in Cape Coast. They recorded my meetings when I hold meetings and sent it. Then they will turn themselves to tag me as NPP faithful because Kennedy Agyapong is my friend. I laughed…The very same people who were doing this thing to me; they’re part of the national Communications team, so no wonder!”, he revealed.
To him, the NDC National Chairman is a person he can bet his life on that he wouldn't make any loose statements like it's captured on the tape.
“I will stand up for Ofosu Ampofo. I will stick my neck for Ofosu Ampofo that he never meant what he said. I know Ofosu Ampofo very [very] well. We’ve been close friends…when it comes to character; I will defend him to the last…He’s one of the finest gentlemen you can get”, he stressed.

I JUST DONT TRUST ANYTHING NDC THATS ALL
I always thought you were among the very few level headed moderates in the NDC. However, supporting this nation wrecker on his call for assassinations, kidnappings, etc is very appalling. Your trick to downplay his threat and command will not work. This is a nice challenge to the security apparatchiks. The evil that men do lives after them. How on earth would one have suspected that the NDC has something to do with the wave and hype of insecurity in the country? This is a clear lead and our men and women in the security now have the lead to follow.
Uncle Allotey,whether he mean it or not,the good,book the Bible say from the abundance of heart the mouth speak.These are some the recommended strategy in the Kwesi Botchwey's report.One where they are they should paint the government black and attacked institutions that favour the government.
Panyin tintinto..Panyin sansanyi ab3 mb3l3sem na ereka no? ***barred word*** OLD BOY
Allotey disco-face Jacob is not serious
gye mboadzi atse. opayin kotobonko
Ohooooooooo, I now understand why NDC is ALWAYS saying INSECURITY, INSECURITY, INSECURITY, it is a planned thing. They are behind the kidnappings. NPP wake up!
Formal chaiirman paaa you are endorsing this ***barred word*** comments? Ohhhhj
Allotey, you are admitting that,the tape is genuine, not doctored as your communication director is saying. Just call your chairman and inquire from him whether he was serious or not. Your chairman has talked a lot on this bye-election. I think he is very serious. I can deduce from the tape that he was trying to justify why he called off the NDC participation in the elections and tell his people the future plans and strategies for 2020 elections. Ofosu Ampofo is a serious danger to Ghana's democracy.
THIS BEGORO MON-S-TER SHOULD BE ARRESTED BY SECURITY FORCES NOW SOFOT.
