Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Former Special Prosecutor Martin A. B. K. Amidu has accused the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating a smear campaign against him.
In a report by tigpost.co, he specifically named high-profile figures such as Alhassan Suhuyini, Sammy Gyamfi, and NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah as being involved in this targeted attack.
Amidu claims these attacks are based on unverified allegations regarding a petition he supposedly submitted for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
He expressed confusion over why NDC leader and flagbearer John Dramani Mahama would spearhead such a campaign against him.
“What has really baffled me, and which is what I have been trying to understand, is the reason for which John Dramani Mahama, who is the leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has unleashed his NDC attack dogs such as Alhassan Suhuyini, Sammy Gyamfi, and to crown it all, the Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, on me since 17 May 2024,” Amidu stated in a release on May 26.
The controversy revolves around a purported petition dated April 30, 2024, that allegedly called for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng. Amidu has challenged the authenticity of this document, stating it lacks proper verification.
“I cannot understand why the NDC will collaborate with Kissi Agyebeng’s preferred rented media house and his chief executioner, Sampson Lardy Anyenini, to make allegations against me without publishing the alleged petition on which the allegations are based to provide me the opportunity to confirm or deny my signature and rebut or admit the accusations,” he said.
Amidu also questioned the role of the Chief Justice in this matter, expressing doubts about the legitimacy of a document attributed to her.
He pointed out several inconsistencies and procedural errors, suggesting the document might be a forgery.
“I have every reason to question the authenticity of the document attributed to the Chief Justice because I established with mathematical precision with the assistance of information and communication technologies (ICT) that a Joint Statement published at the instance of Kissi Agyebeng as a Joint Statement by the OSP and the Judicial Service of Ghana (JSG) was a forgery by the OSP,” Amidu asserted.
Additionally, Amidu criticized the media’s handling of the allegations, specifically targeting Joy FM for what he perceives as biased reporting.
“Joy FM and the NDC have refused or failed to publish the letter from the Presidency to the Chief Justice or the alleged petition for purposes of authentication to enable a reasoned response from me as the Joy FM’s accused in its trial in the court of public opinion,” he argued.
Amidu concluded his statement by reaffirming his commitment to fighting corruption and defending the 1992 Constitution, despite the personal attacks and public scrutiny.
“I will continue to defend the 1992 Constitution against all greedy bastards abusing the rights of citizens under the guise of law enforcement,” he declared.
