Kojo Oppong , Nana B Not Inciting Supreme Court Judges Against Mahama’s Lawyers - NPP

The governing New Patriotic Party has rejected claims that Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Henry Nana Boakye are inciting Justices of the Supreme Court against lawyers of the Petitioner in the ongoing Election Petition case. Opposition National Democratic Congress had accused the aforementioned persons of seeking to get Dominic Ayine, a legal practitioner and one of the spokespersons

for the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama in the ongoing case, also punished by the Supreme Court for allegedly disrespecting the court. According to NPP, such claims must be rejected outrightly because they are plain lies and without a shred of equivocation. It is an affront to the apex court of the land for the NDC to suggest that the venerable, experienced and learned Justices of the

Supreme Court who, over time, have demonstrated to be independent and also be objective are amenable to incitement by spokespersons of the 2nd Respondent, a statement signed by Yaw Buaben Asamoa, National Communications Director, NPP, noted. The claim that Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah Esq. and Henry Nana Boakye Esq. seek to incite the SC against Dr Dominic Ayine is a blatant falsehood that must be rejected, Buaben added.

What are the accusations from NDC?

The NDC in a press statement on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 accused Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and Mr. Henry Nana Boakye of turning all the judges of the Supreme Court against the counsel for the Petitioner. According to the NDC, the NPP team had used their media briefing after each court proceeding to launch attacks against the counsel for former President Mr John Mahama and

further incite the Court against former Deputy Attorney General, Dominic Ayine. Many NPP legal commentators in the media also appear to take inordinate delight in belittling and heaping insults on Counsel for H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, NDC said in the press statement and the statement added that, These attacks are all characterised by constantly offering misleading comments about our lawyers and the case in court.
