A group calling itself Alliance for Footsoldiers Advocacy (AFFA) says that it is alarmed by the contents of a leaked audio tape believed to be the voice of NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia.
In the said audio which has since gone viral, the outgoing Chief Scribe and National Chairman hopeful of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is heard admitting among other things that his party (NDC) was unable to collate its result during the 2022 general elections due to an internal IT system breakdown.
As if that is not enough, Asiedu Nketia also disclosed that the evidence his party sought to rely upon in challenging the validity of the election of President Akufo- Addo at the Supreme Court in 2021 was utterly useless, objectionable, and could not have been overturned by the outcome of the result of the election.
AFFA in a statement yesterday said that it is scandalized by the ‘confession’ of Asiedu Nketia given the fact that the NDC led by former President Mahama, has since March 2021 bastardized justices of the Supreme Court at every least occasion; describing them as “UNANIMOUS FC” and appendages of President Akufo- Addo following the dismissal of the defective elections petition.
“We find it puzzling how the petitioner, a former President of the Republic, knowing very well he had no case (as has been revealed by General Mosquito), proceeded to the apex court of the land to waste precious times of Ghanaians. The sudden silence of vociferous Asiedu Nketia in the past few days that the leaked audio has been in circulation only confirms the tape’s authenticity and content therein,” the group said in a statement signed by Sir – Obama Pokuase.
The group said that in the light above, it is calling on Mr. Mahama, Asiedu Nketia, and the NDC to render an unqualified apology to the Justices of the apex court, Jean Mensa – Electoral Commission, and Ghanaian at large.
“It is our submission that the dignity and authority of the judiciary and the EC must be upheld at all times for the growth of Ghana’s multiparty democracy,” the group concluded.
