The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on Ghanaians to disregard the details of an alleged leaked audio recording that has been attributed to the National Chairman of the NDC, Ofosu Ampofo.
According to them, the statements and attributions contained on the said tape are concocted and false.
In a press statement signed by the National Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, he indicated that the statements were inconsistent with the character and track record of Chairman Ofosu Ampofo and do not reflect the values he has always stood for.
“The maliciously depraved and clearly doctored tape has been contrived by some devious elements in the NPP and government to undermine the NDC and its National Chairman,” they claimed.
He also argued that the release of the audio at the particular time was a plan to divert the attention of Ghanaians from the impending unfavourable expose by ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, in which key officials of the Akufo-Addo government have been caught on camera receiving bribes.
“We are not surprised about this act of desperation on the part of the ruling NPP. In the wake of an impending damning expose by ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, in which key officials of the Akufo-Addo government have been caught on camera receiving bribes in order to compromise government's so-called fight against illegal mining, the NDC can understand government's restless desperation to divert public attention with this rather vile and fraudulent audio recording,” he said.
The NDC, Sammy Gyamfi said, is currently considering all legal options available to it and will take appropriate steps to halt the phenomenon immediately.
“Having said this, the NDC is fully aware of evil and wicked plots by certain elements within National Security and Government to spy on meetings of its officials, record and in turn doctor such recordings for their spiteful ends. Such state-sponsored espionage is dastardly and shameful,” he stated.
“We state without equivocation that the position of the NDC on the matters that have been alleged on the audio is a matter of public record and that, the party does not need to resort to a so called secret meeting to hatch the sardonic plots captured on the fake tapes being circulated,” he added.
