Embattled member of the legal team of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Amaliba, is accusing the ‘biased’ media of twisting his recent comments regarding attempts to impeach Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte by some petitioners.
Amaliba in an interview says he did not say Ghana will burn if the EC boss is removed from office.
The lawyer says a large section of the Ghanaian media is uncomfortable anytime actions of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), and its operatives are criticized because the media politically tainted in NPP colours.
Abraham Amaliba has come under intense public backlash following media reports quoting him as saying Ghana will burn if the Electoral Commissioner is removed from office.
But he denies the reports explaining, “you the media have become so biased that you don’t want the NPP and its government to be criticized.”
According to him, the current government is using the system to harass Mrs Osei, a situation he said does not augur well for the stability of the country.
“It is never true that I said Ghana will burn, what I told the host is that if Madam Charlotte Osei removed from office, Ghana may not be peaceful and when that happens, my house will be burnt and the host’s house too will be burnt.”
“That does not mean I said Ghana will burn…I am not surprised the media is misreporting me because they hate it when we criticize the government, but I am assuring you that we will continue to criticize the government and they can continue to misreport us in their reportage,” he insisted.

I just dont know what makes the npp leadership so co.wardly.Is it too much schooling or they just lack the balls for African politics?.Today the ndc lo;o.ting brigade are walking free after loo.ti;ng state coffers dry,talking no.ns.ense all over the media.Ndc agents now dictating and running the show in gh when they should be running helter-skelter for their massive thie.ve.ry and cor.ruption.The npp are more democratic and booklong than even the originators of democracy.Its a shame.After one year of npp's weakness and no actions,ndc crooks have become emboldened and started emerging from under the rock to taunt and rob their lo;o.t in our face.Special prosecutor this ,special prosecutor that:Maybe its a case of scratch my back I scratch yours.Nana Addo has now proven THAT THERE ARE NO TRUE LEADERS IN GHANA.NKRUMAH WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE LEADER GHANA EVER HAD AND WILL REMAIN SO TILL KINGDOM COME.
What apology? Ghanaians dont need your apology period. Ghana will never burn.
Tf this thing is part of our legal team how are we going to win election.***barred word***. sack him from the legal team, ***barred word*** boy
Amaliba please listen to yourself. i do not think you are making any seience. the host house would be burnt and that of yours. what exactly do you take us for? or you think you are the only one who can read and write. please spare us. even though the NDC appreciate and quicky promotes such persons, you can do better or you want the promotion from inside the NDC?
Just look at his 'eating place' and you won't be suprised at what he said.
Akufu Addo did not say ghana would be in flames. in any case he lost that election and what he did was novel in the history of the African continent after he was openly cheated. he said the battle is still the Lords.
Anybody who has toiled to build a career,fixed assets,any God fearing person will not wish for his/her land of birth to be burnt,only 'nothing man' ie someone who has nothing to lose like amaliba would wish that Ghana burns, am not suprise because in N D C people who know how to insult and speak before thinking are promoted with ministerial post anytime the party is in power,looking at amaliba's face, he looks much like a moron,his arguements on T V puts a lot of people off,the challenge to him is to first ignite the fire that will burn ghana and he will be the first to fall into it,this n d c people are not men of their words at all,SAEED SINARE openly decleared that he will leave Ghana if NANA ADDO wins power, NaNa Addo has won and that Sinare is still in Ghana, as for N D C , i can't think far
I absolutely frown on the comments of the learned lawyer, however, it is a high time fair and just prevail when dealing with sensitive issues of such nature. We must call spade a spade and what is good for goose is good for the gander. We cannot thumbs up A when A does seemingly same thing and thumbs down B over same. That's not objective, fair and just. This apparent hypocrite attitude of we Ghanaians is one of the major causes of our current status quoe as a sovereign nation. Until we tackle issues from this angle devoid of personal or group interest we shall always hear and see this uncalled for remarks
Amaliba don't apologise because we will B'urn you and your family fist before Ghana burns. S'tupid man like You. You think we are afraid of You and your loose talkers.
what did you mean by your house and the host house will burn.who is going to burn the houses? loose talk.
