The First Vice Chair of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has said that his party is tolerant and did not manoeuvre to get immediate past Chief Justice Georgina Wood to exit her position during the administration of the NDC.
This is contrary to remarks by Mrs Wood who said that she nearly resigned because there was so much pressure for her to do so during the tenure of the Umbrella party.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service to celebrate her 70th birthday at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church in Accra, Mrs Wood said the support of Justice Jones Dotse helped her to weather that storm.
“…Can you imagine, a full vessel, an array of the men and women who matter at the time with the press in full array asking you to resign?” Mrs Wood, who was appointed by former President John Kufuor, revealed.
But Mr Ampofo has suggested otherwise, insisting that the NDC was unlike the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) which forces appointees of past governments out of office.
“She must thank God that we were not like the NPP to force her out and she was able to complete her term,” he said on Thursday, June 8.
For him, credit must be given to the NDC that she served her term without any effort by NDC officials in government at the time to have her out.
“If we have been very tolerant and helped her to complete her tenure, then she should thank God that we did not force her out like what the NPP has done to the Bank of Ghana Governor and others under the pretext of resigning. Go back and see the stories behind it; they are forcing people out of office,” he said on Asempa FM.

So can't the Pentecost Church excommunicate such a miscreant liar who calls himself an Elder of the church? Is he not disgracing the church? From all indications, utterances,intents and action especially from their communicators, Ofosu Ampofo and Chairman Adjei they wanted to remove her but for the cumbersome procedure they had to go through. First there should be a concrete charge or accusation against her which they found non. Ofosu Ampofo!
Between this well educated civillised lady and the low-life Ofosu Ampofo who used to be a nobody whose only claim to fame is that he used to carry around the PA system for NDC functions in the Eastern Region, who should I believe? This party is a magnet for th13ves, pathological liars and bums.
KRAKYE, WHY DID THE THEN NDC NATIONAL CHAIRMAN STATE THAT "THERE WERE MANY WAYS IN KILLING A CAT"? WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THAT TIME AND WHO WAS REFERRED TO AS 'THE CAT'? OFOSU AMPOFO, NOT ALL OF US HAVE SUCH SHORT MEMORIES AS STATED BY EX-PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMAH. GO ON WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA BUT TIME WILL TELL WHO WAS TELLING THE TRUTH. MY HEART'S-ACHE IS THAT IF OUR SO-CALLED HONOURABLE MEN CONTINUE TO DABBLE IN SUCH BLATANT LIES WHAT EXAMPLE ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE THE FUTURE GENERATIONS? GOD SAVE OUR MOTHERLAND.
"Oh NDC, cant you keep quite for once?" you have answers to every question that may come out from every person why? you will stay in opposition for long prepare for that.
Ampofo, Do you know a renowned heart surgeon by name Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng ? Who sacked him from Korlebu Teaching Hospital?
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo is being economical with the truth. Their then propaganda secretary, once said the Ms Wood is a disgrace to women and the lady should resign from her post if she had any dignity at all.
DONT MIND THIS ***barred word*** APPOINTEE!!! HE IS SPEAKING FROM HIS AAANNNUUUS!!! WHY DID YOUR ***barred word*** PRESIDENT PARDON MISCREANTS LIKE MONTIE3. ITS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE RULE O9F LAW!!! MAY GOD CURSE YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!!
This man must be dreaming. You should have listened to NDC lawyers confirming they gave her a hell of time. But she was firm. Even the fact that they let go the montie 3 after all they said and their threat is even enough to push some one out of office. Why would she say so if it was not true. She is a christian and matured unlike others.
Is Ofosu Ampofo day dreaming? Has he soon forgotten his own chairperson's pronouncement and that of the babies with sharp teeth? Ma y3n nwene wae.
members of the NDC party were openly saying she should resign. this was in all the media. i was even happy that she was not murdered like they did to other members of the bench. we deserve to praise God for her life. you could see clearly that she was afraid to sit on the Election Petition.
