Private Legal Practitioner and aide to the former president John Dramani Mahama, Lawyer Goodwin Edudzi Tamakloe has sound a strong caution to the former director of the Danquah Institute (DI), Mr. Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko.
He says Mr. Asare Otchere Darko will have to run away from this country once John Mahama is elected again as President of this country come 2024.
Gabby's FB Post
The former DI Director, in his Facebook post strongly held that Mr Mahama lacks the moral right to tag the current administration as corrupt, accusing him of home-growing a crisis and outsourcing the solution when the latter was president.
To him, the Akufo-Addo administration has done a better job of protecting the public purse than what its predecessor - the Mahama administration - did.
He was reacting to remarks by Mr Mahama during the first leg of his regional thank you tour that the NPP wants to break the 8 in order to protect itself from corruption.
Why Does NPP Allow NDC To Accuse It Of Corruption?
Cataloguing a litany of reasons to back his assertions, Gabby Otchere-Darko accused the former administration of "making zero savings" on contracts that were either sole-sourced or done by restrictive tender, and thus wondered why the NPP can allow the NDC to attack it on the issue of corruption.
"This Government has managed to reduce the percentage of contracts that are either sole-sourced or done by restrictive tender and, by that, saving hundreds of millions every year through the PPA by reducing the costs of such contracts to the taxpayer. NDC, under Mahama, made ZERO savings in such situations. This is a fact.
"It bothers me how NPP can allow the NDC to attack it on corruption when the NPP evidently does more for the people with taxpayers’ money than the NDC did under Mahama. Clearly, corruption is such an easy cane with which to whip a government whether it is supported by facts or propaganda.
Surely if a government is doing more than any previous one in spending public funds on the people and their communities and also getting more in return than the previous government, then why should that ruling party allow that opponent to confidently feel that corruption is rather the ruling party’s Achilles heel?" he added.
You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself!
But speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Mr Mahama's aide could not fathom why the NPP stalwart would brazenly attack and accuse the former president of being corrupt.
"Who is Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko? . . . Gabby should be the last person to even attack Mahama . . . politics allows for anything so we just have to take it like that . . . I can understand his pain," he said.
"If Nana Addo leaves power now Gabby will run away from Ghana . . . if he is still using his British passport he should keep it clearer and renew it, because he will run away from this country . . . just look at the numerous crimes he has done to Ghanians with his uncle?"
"As for Gabby the right time is coming," he added.

NO WONDER ALL THE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM NPP SYMPATHISERS, OKAY LET ME AFFIRM IT FOR YOU AGAIN, WHEN JM COMES TO POWER GABBY AND CO SHUOLD RUN SINCE THEY HAVE FOREIGN PASSPORT,EVEN IF THEY DO WE WILL BRING THEM BACK TO FACE PROSECUTION AND PERSECUTION JUST LIKE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO OPUNI. ***barred word*** CLOWNS.
Threatening a fellow citizen who has equal rights to stay in the country. Has the NDC lost ideas and so issuing threats instead of proffering alternative solutions to the current government policies. Sammy Gyamfi did same during the run up to the elections and NDC lost and this guy is continuing on that tangent?
I dare this ***barred word*** lawyer to mention only one of his family members who fought Ghana. It is high time we tell these Togolese their root.
Mahama is too desperate.How an ex president to like this threatening someone.JDM is vowulence.Why Will Gabby runaway when NDC comes to power.Retract your statement .You’re the cause of NDC’s downfall and wonder why they still want you to lead them in 2024
This is their kind of campaign message. Nothing sensible. It's all ***barred word*** empty threats.
Awwwwwwwww Edudzi. Its sad to read from the online portals and also hear him speak that Gabby will run away from Ghana. Even members of NDC are still living in Ghana after losing the 2016 and 2020 elections. These are some of the things the babies with sharp say and no elderly person in NDC will caution them. What has Gabby done? Even when he was horse whipped when Mahama was in power, what did he say?. NDC rather justified that act that the demonstrators veered off the agreed route. When power changed hands, Gabby could have retaliated because the policemen who did that are all known. He never retaliated, rather Nana Addo made sure NDC members were protected by the police during demonstrations. Let this be the last time we will hear these threats again. A word to the wise as they say is..............in NPP. haaaaa
I think the threat issued by Lawyer Goodwin Edudzi Tamakloe is unnecessary. I have the following questions for Mr. Tamakloe: 1. As a legal practitioner, mention just one crime that Gabby Otchere-Darko has committed in Ghana indicted by any state institution? 2. Is Gabby Otchere-Darko a public servant whose role at any point in time can be subjected to a scrutiny for which he could be found culpable for any misdeed? 3. What has Gabby Otchere-Darko's British passport got to do with his epistle about Mr. Mahama? Is that jealousy? 4. Does the NDC have the legal prowess to charge and successfully prosecute even a fly in the law court and get a favorable outcome? 5. What happened to the Ghana's Golden Jubilee celebration scandal, which a whole committee was set up to waste our resources in order to indict Mr. Kwame Mpiani, a former Chief of Staff in the Kufour's administration, and Dr. Charles Wereko-Broby, a former VRA CEO is Kufour administration? Did the then AG, Betty-Mould Iddrissu, who only made similar empty noise of threat in the media but never stepped her feet in court, succeed? It's unwarranted for you to waste the airtime to disturb us with this empty noise of a threat. You guys are just loud but cannot bite. Gabby put ideas on paper and backed them with evidence. If you want to do same to impress Mr. Mahama, please do! Please give us a break!
Edudzi paaa nkwasia kasa de33.. smfbh
NDC at their best again! Lying to Confuse Vulnerable Ghanaians to vote for them. They know well that its all lies. Gabby Darko is a very good lawyer to defend himself at Court and what will happen! Well-informed Ghanaians will not take this dumb talks
