Ofosu-Ampofo Tape: 'NPP waged war against Charlotte Osei, she didn't die' – Ndebugri

A private legal practitioner, John Ndebugri, has downplayed the weight of the contents of a leaked audiotape containing a voice that resembles that of the National Chairman of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, which is heard inciting the party’s communicators against the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa as well as the Chairman of the National Peace Council, Prof Emmanuel Asante.

The voice is heard saying: “We’re going to take her [EC boss] to the cleaners.”

“As for the EC chair, we must wage a relentless war on this EC chair. Me, she doesn’t want to see my face,” the Ofosu-Ampofo-like voice said.

The voice is also heard giving his blessing to the party communicators to insult Most Rev Professor Emmanuel Asante.

“For the first time, I’ll endorse insulting the National Peace Council Chair,” he added.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has invited Mr Ofosu-Ampofo to assist with investigations in connection with the tape.



Speaking on the Executive Breakfast Show (EBS) on Class91.3FM on Thursday, 28 February 2019 about the saga, Mr Ndebugri said: “This is propaganda people doing their politics. I don’t see really what the brouhaha is all about.

“If he says they are going to wage a war against the Electoral Commission, after all, a war was waged against Charlotte Osei [former EC Chair] leading to her removal, she didn’t die. That was a war against her.

“When the ruling party was in opposition, they waged a war against Charlotte Osei and eventually got her removed, so, the CID are inviting him [Ofosu-Ampofo] to go and say what?

“How does what he said undermine national security? And is that how the CID operates? That they chance upon a tape on social media and based on that invite the author? We must stop these things. Some people are too anxious to hold on to power”.
