The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is alleging that the Minister of Information Designate and Spokesperson for President Akufo-Addo, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Henry Nana Boakye are inciting the Supreme Court against the lawyers for the NDC in the 2020 election petition.
In a press statement, the NDC noted that the presidential elections petition initiated by HE John Dramani Mahama in the Supreme Court, both the NDC and the NPP have sets of lawyers who meet the Media immediately after each sitting to publicize their view of what has taken place in court.
However, the NDC said the NPP team, led by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has been using the podium offered by the media to attack Counsel representing John Mahama in the case, and even going further to incite the Court against the former Deputy Attorney General, Hon. Dr. Dominic Ayine.
In addition, the NDC said many NPP legal commentators in the media, appear to take inordinate delight in belittling and heaping insults on Counsel for John Mahama and the NDC.
“These attacks are characterized by constantly offering misleading comments about our lawyers and the case In court. We consider this persistent conduct of Hon. Oppong Nkrumah and Henry Nana Boakye and their surrogates as unbecoming of professional colleagues who have sworn to protect the ethics of their respected profession over and above partisan considerations,” the NDC stated.
