The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, did not err in his interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement on the compilation of new voters register.
According to the party’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, Mr Nketia only communicated his understanding of a “confusing ruling” by the apex Court.
General Mosquito, as he is popularly called, has been trolled on social media for his gaffe. The Supreme Court has ruled to exclude the use of the old voter’s ID for the registration.
But immediately after the ruling, he told the media the court had ruled in their favour – which later turned out to be false.
Mr Nketia has been asked to render an unqualified apology for misleading Ghanaians, especially members of the NDC who celebrated after his comments.
However, Mr Gyamfi, reacting to the issue on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Friday, said his party’s General Secretary owes no one an apology.
“He should say sorry to who and for what? Judges even misinterpret judgments so what are people talking about?” he quizzed.
The NDC man maintained that General Mosquito cannot be blamed because even the Deputy Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame was confused.
“I was told even the Deputy Attorney General after the ruling stood up to seek clarification so Asiedu Nketia did nothing wrong,” he said.

The supreme court did not misrule but they are part of the satanic agenda to President Akuffo Addo and the Electoral Commissioner to rig the elections.
The new voter register will be a game changer for NPP and NDC monopoly of parliamentary seats. Now there is hope that minority parties such as CPP will come back to life. The ghost names in the current voter register is doing a lot of damage to Ghana's democracy where foreigners tip the balance in marginal seats. Interesting times ahead. I hope EC works diligently to ensure at least 95% credibility of the voter register. May God help EC

A CRITICAL EXMINTION 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.
