IMMINENT ARREST OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONGRESS, HON. SAMUEL OFOSU-AMPOFO
The National Democratic Congress has learned that the government, using security agencies, had obtained a stop warrant over the past few days for the arrest of our national president, the Hon. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo. We further learned that the security agencies had the intention to do so, apparently in conjunction with elements of the NPP security forces, and that they intended to stop the president so as to lower him in the esteem of Ghanaians.
The NDC takes the government's intent very seriously, if our information is correct, and wishes to draw the country's attention to the fact that, as chairman of the largest opposition party in Ghana , our national president has the right to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity.
While respecting the position already expressed by the Council of Wise Men regarding police invitations, we wish to make it clear that the National President is a law-abiding citizen who will never disregard an order duly obtained from a court duly authorized to do it.
This statement also aims to inform prospective supporters of the National Democratic Congress to await the imminent arrest of the national president in order to defend the narrow political interests of President Akufo-Addo in order to silence any legitimate political opposition. At all times, the national president of our party can count on the solidarity of all party members and we strongly support the hon. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo.
