The First Vice Chair of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has said that his party is tolerant and did not manoeuvre to get immediate past Chief Justice Georgina Wood to exit her position during the administration of the NDC.
This is contrary to remarks by Mrs Wood who said that she nearly resigned because there was so much pressure for her to do so during the tenure of the Umbrella party.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service to celebrate her 70th birthday at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church in Accra, Mrs Wood said the support of Justice Jones Dotse helped her to weather that storm.
“…Can you imagine, a full vessel, an array of the men and women who matter at the time with the press in full array asking you to resign?” Mrs Wood, who was appointed by former President John Kufuor, revealed.
But Mr Ampofo has suggested otherwise, insisting that the NDC was unlike the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) which forces appointees of past governments out of office.
“She must thank God that we were not like the NPP to force her out and she was able to complete her term,” he said on Thursday, June 8.
For him, credit must be given to the NDC that she served her term without any effort by NDC officials in government at the time to have her out.
“If we have been very tolerant and helped her to complete her tenure, then she should thank God that we did not force her out like what the NPP has done to the Bank of Ghana Governor and others under the pretext of resigning. Go back and see the stories behind it; they are forcing people out of office,” he told Kwadwo Asare Baffour-Acheampong of Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen.

The action of Muntie 3 and the reaction of Mahama and his NDC to release these people from prison castody confirms what the CJ brought out.
I had a good laugh when he peddled fałsehood on kokrokoo program three days ago and the family of the late Captain/Major came on air to dispute it immediately. I felt so bad for him. Elder paaa, being shãmed like this!? Always doing propaganda and in effect lŷing all the time.
Church of Pentecost, why do you still allow this man to hold the position of an Elder of the church? He hops from one media house to the other spewing lîes all the time and I am very sure most of the church executives get to hear. What is happening to is disgrâcèful. Where was he when there was so much agitation to have the woman resign. Has he forgotten so soon about that infâmous demonstration against her, calling for her resignation? Everyone has a right to belong to whichever political party he/she chooses, but it should be with integrity especially when one holds a respectable position in any religious organization. Chairman, bring him to order!
ampofo, and you call yourself an elder of a church?. when will you try to speak the truth? you should have kept your comments and let one of the babies with sharp teeth come to comment on this issue. you have rather worsened your case.can this woman of intergrity lie to ghanaians?
Aaaba, Mr. Ofosu 'Fotoo' Ampofo, what you saying. The CJ says you NDC people nearly got her removed and you're refuting what she's said. How can you believe you rather than her. I'll believe the CJ Theodora Woode. NDC li ars. You cannot hook wink anyone. Just go way you.
NDC people and lies are synonymous..... Now we know this NDC people are a group of cr!m!nals. No one trust you guys anymore. If I were you Ofosu Ampofo, I will remain silent over this matter.
Ampofo, what can you then say about that uśełesš demonstration from the people from the north, demanding for her resignation at the instance of those babies wîth śhårp tèéth, because of the late Yaa Na?
You liar, you remember what your chairman said at that time, "many ways og killing a cat'. It was late President Mills wbo put his foot down to stop.
