Leaked Tape: "Did Charlotte Osei die when NPP waged war on her?" - Veteran legal practitioner quizzes

A private legal practitioner, Mr John Ndebugri, has said ousted Electoral Commissioner, Madam Charlotte Osei did not die when the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) waged war against her.

Mr. Ndebugri who said they opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are only playing propaganda politic thus the leaked audio tape purported to be the voice of the National Chairman NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo can not be taken serious.

Mr Ofosu-Ampofo in the tape which has gone viral is heard inciting the party’s communicators against the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Jean Mensa as well as the Chairman of the National Peace Council, Prof Emmanuel Asante.

The voice is heard saying: “We’re going to take her [EC boss] to the cleaners.”

“As for the EC chair, we must wage a relentless war on this EC chair. Me, she doesn’t want to see my face,” the Ofosu-Ampofo-like voice said.

The voice is also heard giving his blessing to the party communicators to insult Most Rev Professor Emmanuel Asante.

“For the first time, I’ll endorse insulting the National Peace Council Chair,” he added.

Speaking on the saga, Mr Ndebugri said: “This is propaganda people doing their politics. I don’t see really what the brouhaha is all about.

“If he says they are going to wage a war against the Electoral Commission, after all, a war was waged against Charlotte Osei [former EC Chair] leading to her removal, she didn’t die. That was a war against her.

“When the ruling party was in opposition, they waged a war against Charlotte Osei and eventually got her removed, so, the CID are inviting him [Ofosu-Ampofo] to go and say what?

“How does what he said undermine national security? And is that how the CID operates? That they chance upon a tape on social media and based on that invite the author? We must stop these things. Some people are too anxious to hold on to power”.
