“….you decided to prioritize your personal interest over the bye-election. Those here knew the situation and took a decision to withdraw from the bye-election then you come back now that you seeking for chairmanship position to blame the Chairman that he took a wrong decision”.
Speaking on ‘Asem Yi Di , a political talk show hosted by Osei Akoto popularly known as Teacher Kojo, he indicated that, there are well known security experts in the NDC who informed the decision declared by the Chairman on their withdrawal from the Ayawaso bye-election.
“who in NDC as we speak is on top of security issues more than Totobi Kwaakye, Asaase Gyimah, Nunoo Mensah? When these people talk about security, where do you stand? All these people stood by chairman Ampofo and said NDC should withdraw from the election and what are you telling us now?”.
