I will rather join Al-Qaeda than the NPP - Lawyer Amaliba vows

A member of the National Democratic Congress’ [NDC] legal team, Abraham Amaliba, has said will rather join terrorist group Al-Qaeda that join their rival party, the New Patriotic Party [NPP].

According to the outspoken lawyer, irrespective of what the party will achieve under President Akufo-Addo, the NPP party will remain a party of no interest to him.

He said “I will rather join Al-Qaeda than the NPP.”

Speaking on Citi TV’s Breakfast Daily Show, Mr. Amaliba said the NPP Government under President Nana Akufo-Addo has resorted to public deception by claiming that his government is delivering on their promises.

“This is not a President you can trust because already he has not been able to provide for his promises and it makes it difficult for anyone to trust him.”

“He said by the end of this year the Kumasi road would be improved. I ply the Kumasi road a lot to the North, I hope you will invite me by the end of this year, so I come here and have a chat about the road” he told the host of the Breakfast Daily show, Isaac Wilberforce.

Mr. Gary Nimako a member of the NPP legal team who was on the show refuted Mr. Amaliba’s assertions saying his assessment of the government was premature.

He said a proper assessment of government could only be made after the NPP’s four-year term in office.

It was when Gary Nimako teased Mr. Amaliba that he will defect to the NPP after President Nana Akufo Addo is done delivering on his promises to Ghanaians, that Amaliba interjected and said he would instead prefer being a terrorist for Al-Qaeda.
