National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Hamidu Akamba has threatened to go to court over a leaked letter purportedly written and signed by some members of the Inter-Party Resistance Against a New Voters' Register (IPRNA).
IPRNA, a group made up of the NDC and other smaller opposition political parties have sworn to contest the decision by the Electoral Commission to compile a new voters register through countrywide demonstrations until the Commission changes its mind.
However, a letter reportedly signed by Joshua Akamba and three other members of the group, suggests that they lack funds and had requested for GHc 974,900 from former President John Mahama to embark on one of their demonstrations held in Kumasi.
Reacting to this on Peace FM's evening news at 6 pm, Joshua Akamba said: "you have to withdraw your statement . . . you should not have read the statement without investigating it first. How can I sign such a statement, I don’t handle money at all and so by the time we finish (with the interview) you should have apologized to me or you meet me in court. Per responsible journalist, you should have spoken to the people first before coming on air; that is responsible journalism. You speak to the people and know their views before coming on air . . . (moreover) my name is Joshua Hamidu Akamba; my name is never Joshua Akamba so you have to withdraw and apologize to me."
Watch his interview below and how his request for an apology was declined

So President Atta Mills is different from President John Evans Atta Mills?? President Kuffour different from President John Agyekum Kuffour? President Akuffo Addo different from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo? President Rawlings different from President Jerry John Rawlings? I have to go to court because Ghana has different people acting or acted as president. hahahahahahahahahahaah
People with such temper should not be elected to responsible positions. In fact the radio stations should give him a media blackout. Insults do not win elections.
Go court now if you are a man. ***barred word***.
U see that is how it is when u go on air and accuse people wrongly without hearing from them.. Insult everybody.. Today u are telling the Journalist to call u for a response first before putting the news on air..And this is an organizer of a major opposition party.. Apuu
Ndc is having leaders who lack wisdom and deep thinking but it serves them right. Money, propaganda and spinning of issues made ndc settle on the kind of leaders. From chairman to whoever one can think of are all propagandist. Presidential candidate also a propagandist why and how? I know most of you have realized that, in John mahama, you have mounted a BRONCO. Too much irrational thinking and actions. The whole leaders are behaving like BOYS SCOUT IN A REAL WAR SITUATION. I pray thee to continue with the demonstrations don't stop.
You are Joshua Hamidu Akamba, and not Joshua Akamba. So you could have simply said what they are talking about has nothing to do with you because that is not your name. Period. How can you threaten to take someone to court when your name has not been mentioned? And by the way, if I give you a cheque for ten thousand cedis with Joshua Akamba written on it, will you cash it or not?
Look at his b1ig big mouth
Is he saying because there's no hamidu, it means it's not him, what kind of human being is this, the person has called you to clear your self by response and you are threatening her with court, hahaha this guy is not serious at all
AKAMBA MUST BE WISE TO DO WHAT IS NEEDFUL. THEY MUST GO TO COURT ON THE NEW REGISTER AND STOP WASTING MONEY AND THE TIME, AND LIVES OF GHANAIANS. GHANA IS PRONE TO ACCIDENTS AND IT IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO RISKS PEOPLE LIVES FOR NOTHING. IN FACT SOME OF YOU CAN BE CITED FOR INCITING VIOLENCE TO DISTURB THE PUBLIC PEACE FOR THE LAW TO DEAL WITH YOU. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW. NOBODY HAS MONOPOLY OVER VIOLENCE AND IT IS THEREFORE STUOIDITYY ON YOUR PART TO AGITATE FOR VIOLENCE. DONT BEHAVE LIKE A CHILD WHO CRY AND INSIST ALL THE TIME TO GET WHAT HE WANTS. AS ADULT YOU MUST RELY ON REASON WHICH EVEN IF WELL STATED MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST CONSIDERATION FOR MANY OTHERS. YOUR RESISTANT GROUP IS EXHIBITING TOO MUCH OF IMMATURITYYY IN YOUR OPPOSITION TO NEW REGISTER.
Excellent response
