Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante has said he has nothing against the NDC despite the leaked audio tape purported to be the voice of NDC’s National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo.
Prof Emmanuel Asante has said the Council’s work will not be affected by comments supposedly made by the Chairman of the opposition NDC.
“Rev. Professor Asante has nothing against the NDC and will be focused on the work that has been entrusted in his hands till he finishes his term,” he said.
Rev. Professor Asante indicated he will not comment on the contents of whatever was said on the leaked tape but “I will speak as the Chairman of the National Peace Council, a national institution that has been instituted to foster dialogue in view of peace”.
Speaking on the request by the NDC Chair that the Peace Council should mediate the meeting between the various political parties concerning the President’s call to end vigilantism, Rev. Professor Asante stressed he believes the President's call is right and the time has come for political parties, especially the two major parties to sit and find amicable solution to this problem of vigilantism in the country.
According to him, members of the Peace Council board have already met and concluded they will be happy to be members of the meeting if invited.
“The National Peace Council will be very much happy to participate in the discussion by facilitating the meeting if it is acceptable to the parties concerned. We see it as our duty, we see it as our responsibility and we will welcome the invitation to facilitate,” he said.
Prof Asante’s comments come after a leaked recording of an alleged meeting of the party’s communicators made damning claims against the Chairman.
A voice believed to be that of the party’s Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo in that tape could be heard calling for Prof Asante to be verbally abused.
“There are CSO and religious organisations especially the Peace Council Chair. For the first time, I will endorse insulting the Peace Council chair,” he said and added when the group clapped “I like that. We have already started.”

The most interesting thing with ghanaians is that we keep growing taller when it comes to stupiiidity and hypocracy. No common sense approach to anything beginning with the president to the last soul on the soil. Our legs and stomach come first before the brain in our decision making process. The same shiit applies to every president every party, every association whether ndc,npp,ppp yyy, mmm,ccc,zzz and whatever party
This problem of vigilantism will go away if the police work as policemen but not as politicians. The police are the problem but not the partys. A whole party chairman who is planning to kidnap opposition members hasn’t been arrested so what do you expect? If you don’t protect yourself and you are kidnapped that is it.
Is that 'holy than thou' uniform worth it? Inside of them very dark while outside is shown white. Ghana if it should be well again then eschew RELIGION and become GODLY. GODLINESS has nothing to do with religion.
Pay 'waa waaa..wawa" at Julorbee(Jubilee) House and do illegal mining freely.Do not be surprise to see the so called secretary to inter sectorial committee on illegal mining feeli.....feeli...taking bribe at Flagstaff house ostensibly for "Opana" to legitimize illegal mining. He was just taking coefficient of what his senior colleagues Deputy Chief of staff who take $20,000 from Business men, foreigners, Ghanaians who want to see Dr promise alias Opana . If you judge Dr promise with his rhetoric of fighting corruption, Charlse Bissiw must have been arrested long ago before premiere of the Ana's video. Surprisingly, the competency of national security could not pick this basic Intel on their radar. I am told,the spokesperson for Opana is now requesting ballistic,optometric expert and a sub committee from SWAT to watch this Ana's video and advice the competent President. The swat sub committee has been given 3 yrs to submit their report and findings.
Who cares Papa! Please let us think!
Who cares?! Only God will judge you!! Live with your conscience!
You have nothing against NDC, but they have something against you.
hmmmmmm......."man's heart is darker than Nsawam Prison"! The mouth speaks one thing and the heart on different thing. So is man!!
