General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu wants his colleague on the other side of the political divide to render an unqualified apology for wilfully misinforming Ghanaians.
To him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chief Scribe is a disgrace to his party.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM's "Ade Akye Abia" morning show, John Boadu said the leadership of the largest opposition party have subjected themselves to needless public opprobrium.
He believed they could have done the party a lot of good by agreeing from the very beginning to partake in the Electoral Commission's voter registration exercise.
Landmark Ruling
The Supreme Court, on Thursday, unanimously dismissed the NDC's case against the EC to compile a new voters register for the 2020 General Elections
The 7-member panel presided over by Chief Justice Kwasi Anin-Yeboah, in its decision held that the EC is an independent body and will only be directed by the court if it acts contrary to law.
The seven member panel that heard the case included Justices Jones Dotse, Paul Baffoe Bonnie, Sule Gbagegbe, Samuel K. Marful-Sau, Nene Amegatcher, and Professor Ashie Kotey.
Asiedu Nketia's Gaffe
The NDC General Secretary, minutes after the decision expressed satisfaction at the ruling saying the apex court had ruled in the party’s favour by calling for the inclusion of the existing voter ID card as one of the source documents for registration during the upcoming voter's registration exercise; a relief which the court did not grant.
“...the court has just delivered the verdict which has granted our request for the inclusion of the existing voter card as breeder document for the compilation of the new voters’ register. We feel vindicated,” he told the media at the forecourt of the Supreme court.
Gone Into Hiding
Ridiculing the NDC Scribe who John Boadu claimed has gone into hiding after misinterpreting the Supreme Court ruling, he added that the NDC is just a confused party seeking to bring their state of confusion on Ghanaians.
"But we will not allow that because the good people of Ghana have their strong belief in the NPP and will not allow the NDC and their leader to take over the affairs of this country again," he said.
John Boadu believes the NDC was secretly preparing for the registration exercise and that they just wanted to cause confusion like they usually do.
Case Against EC
Private citizen Mark Takyi-Banson and the opposition NDC filed the case in court asking that it stops the EC from compiling the register or allow the use of the birth certificate and voters ID card by prospective voters as proof of identification.
But in its ruling on Thursday, the court said the EC can go ahead and compile the new register with the Ghana Card, denying the NDC and Mr. Takyi-Banson’s request for the old voters’ ID to be used.
Ghanaians have taken to social media to troll the NDC scribe who they accuse of misinterpreting the court’s ruling.

A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF ASIEDU NKETIA SUPREME COURT BOMBSHELL REVEALS THAT HE WAS ALLOWED TO BE DISGRACEDD. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ALL THE LAWYERS WHO STOOD BEHIND HIM DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY. THEY CANNOT ALSO CLAIM THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS WRONG. THEY KNEW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY AND THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS WRONG.YET THEY ALL KEPT QUIET AND LOOKED ON FOR HIM TO RIDICULED HIMSELF BEFORE ALL GHANAIANS AND THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD WHO WERE KEENLY FOLLOWING THE ENTIRE COURT PROCEEDINGS. IT WAS SAD. HE HAS BECOME NOTORIOUS THAT NOBODY, INCLUDING HIS NDC, CARES ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS OR CARRIES HIMSELF OUT TO BE IN THE PUBLIC. BUT HE IS SOMEBODY'S FATHER, HUSBAND AND UNCLE. HE IS FAST THREADING ON THE PATH OF DC KWAME KWAKE OF DR NKRUMA ERA. WE ALL HAVE ND KEEP MKING ALL KIND OF STORIES BOUT HIM. ASIEDU NKETIA FROM MAA KABA TO SC PRONOUNCEMENT MAY LEAVE A SIMILAR LEGACY BEHIND. HE WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED FOR THIS SC SHOW. SOON HE SHALL BE IN GHANA MOVIES FOR HIS NOTORIOUS SC PRONOUNCE,EMT.
TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED JB, DURING THIS DANGEROUS ERA. GET AKAKADURO AND LEMOND LIQUID TO DRINK FROM TIME TO TIME. INHALE HOT WATER VAPOR TWICE A DAY. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO TAKE A GOOD REST, NOW THAT NPP PRIMARIES IS OVER. TODAY COVID-19 IS TAKING OVER ALL THE NORMAL SICKNESSES WE USED TO HAVE. SO IN TREATING ANY SICKNESS TODAY WE HAVE TO INCLUDE CORONA VIRUS THERAPY. MANY OF US IN NY WERE SAVED BY APPLICATION OF THIS LOCAL TREATMENT. ALL WHO RESORTED TO IT EARLY GOT WELL WITHOUT SHOWING ANY AILMENT. WE LOVE YOU, JB.
look at this VC10 general secretary of NPP he hardly talk sense and is all because he will not stop drinking akpeteshie before granting interviews what a uselesssss VC10 general secretary
I;VE BEEN WRITING ABOUT ASIEDU NKETSEA ,s ENGLISH BUT READERS ARE ALWAYS AGAINST MY FORM FOUR ENGLISH,JUST LISTEN TO HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE COURT,sJUDGEMENT. ITS SO EMBARRASSING,BOGUS,WASTEFUL AND T-R-A-S-H TO RELAX AND LISTEN TO HIM.THIS IS JDM,s SECRETATY GENERAL OF NDC PARTY OF TODAY.THE ELECTORAL COMISSION MUST BE VERY VIGILANT AT THOSE NIGERIANS WITH GHANA PASSPORTS AND BIRTH CERTIFICATES.
Oh Teddy, why is it that all NDC sympathizers are I D I OT S like this disgraceful general secretary? A whole general secretary could not read and understand a simple verdict and direction from the SC and prematurely run to the press to glaringly advertise his I G N O R A N C E to the whole world. Teddy to talk about Akpeteshie, don't forget that your Asiedu Nketia is a well-known Akpeteshie brewer so drop that point. Granted Nana Addo has fake certificates.... yet he has more credits in to his name in the Ghana Law report than any single lawyer int the history of Ghana as being the lawyer with the most credible records......this one de3 SKIN-PAIN! This confirms to me the perception that people in the NDC don't read and if they read, they don't understand. As for JB, BORGA, come again. What was very surprising is that when the U-S-E-LESS Nketia was spewing falsehood regarding the verdict, some supposed lawyers we also nodding to his lies. People of like mindedness led by a.............Duka daya!
Teddy you always insulting the president your pay master MAHAMA CLAIMS OF DOUBLE IDs OF GHANA CARD. MAHAMA IS LYINGG OR HE IS NOT INTELLIGENTTT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND PROF. AFFAFUAH. THE NIA BOSS SAID SOME CARDS HAD BEEN WITHHELD, NOT ISSUED, BECAUSE OF DOUBLE REGISTRATIONS. HE SAID THIS TO WARN PEOPLE TO STOP REGISTERING AGAIN IF THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THEIR CARDS. WHY IS EVERYBODY IN NDC HAS TO LIEEE AS IF NDC SURVIVE ON LIES.
Sttu pld* comment !! What shows that Asiedu Nketia is disgraceful and for that reason he has gone into hiding? How many legal blunders did your "fake lawyer" with questionable certificate bearing the name "William Akuffo Addo" - now the President not commit when he was the Attorney General? After all, Asiedu Nketia is not a lawyer and was only interpreting what he understood as a layman. Even lawyers from the both sides were heard giving their own interpretations. We have Judges who are alleged; not even able to write their own judgements unless assisted by some legal luminaries. This "Akpeteshie" general secretary is gradually making a mess of himself by each passing day. One cannot tell whether he was under the influence of his favorite Akpeteshie gin when he made this comment.
This is not the first time Asiedu has gone into hiding after he's lied to the whole nation but the paid up journalists/presenters will never ask him when he resurfaces from his hide out. his other accomplice, Bernard Mona is also advising Ghanaians to go to the registration centers with their voters id card just to create confusion at the centers. I'm sure the security will handle him for peace to reign in Ghana.
