The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to provide concrete evidence that supports the claim that President John Dramani Mahama personally authored the petition seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The call comes in response to allegations by the former General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu, who claimed that President Mahama wrote the petitions himself in a bid to replace the Chief Justice.
Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, May 6, the Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the NDC, Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer dismissed the allegations, describing them as baseless.
He claims that the NPP’s poor performance in the recent elections has left the party disoriented and desperate.
“In that case, they are telling us something we don’t know. And that is, when they were in power, all the petitions that Nana Akufo-Addo received, were drafted at the Flagstaff House, or written by him. Maybe they are revealing what they were doing.
“In any case, then Prof Kwaku Ansah, wrote a petition seeking the removal of the chief justice, was that written by Nana Akufo-Addo?
“You see because they lost, it has affected their thinking capabilities. So, they just open their mouth and anything that comes out doesn’t make sense to anybody,” he stated.
