A Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Mr. Koku Anyidoho has served notice the Party will not follow any accused persons to court for whatever it may be worth.
This directly contradicts an earlier call by former President Mahama on party supporters to solidarise with members charged with any offences.
Speaking at the 31st December Revolution Anniversary held in the Volta Regional capital, Ho recently, the Mr. Mahama remarked saying “We must be prepared to face any prosecution that this government throws at us, but we must do so with commitment and solidarity; solidarity with our colleagues who may fall foul of the law because the law says you are innocent until proven guilty by a competence and justice of the court”.
But Mr. Anyidoho argues that persons who may fall on the edges of the Special Prosecutor’s knife have associates, family members and friends who may deem it necessary to follow them to court but not the NDC as a political party or its executives.
“Why should I wake up in the morning and say a particular individual has been sent to court so I must follow him to court?”, he asked.
“Of course, such persons have families, friends and loved ones who are free to follow them to Court and of course who may want to follow them to court and nothing stops them but to mass up as party executives, stop our jobs and follow them to court, no”, he added.
Koku was commenting on the passage of the law on the office of a Special Prosecutor on Adom FM.
Explaining the former president’s comments further, however, Koku Anyidoho said what he did was to caution the rank and file of the NDC from joining the NPP to castigate people who have been accused out of political malice.
“As a political party, we shouldn’t fall for the propaganda of the NPP and that we all support hundred percent”, he indicated.

How can you fall foul with the law and still be innocent? John Mahama is greedy and corrupt... What did you do to your Minister Dzifa Attivor the th..ief of corrupt bus branding fame? Follow her to court and support her if she is found guilty and sent to jail. NDC cr!m!nals in solidarity.
OSHA is right,Iam not an NDC, but the way some of your communicators are insulting the elderly on the social media makes your reorganization look like pouring water into a basket. There are some people that have taken entrenched positions that nothing will change, others are floating voters who are watching and listening to whatever that is going. Already some of your people have tagged with babies with sharp teeth. People are beginning to believe this. In the run-up to the election you people were insulting, teasing and saying derogatory words of your opponent while they were going round telling people what they could do. Please advise your communicators to stop the insults and talk about what you can do if you really what to come back to power. Likewise the leadership. A word to a wise they say .....
Massa; sending somebody to Court on the basis of evidenced fraud ;bloating of contracts ;sharing and diverting state funds for private use leads to being a crimina; ;KOKU is right !!!!!why should any sane person wake up in the morning and follow such toxic specimen of NDC thiffs to Court to listen to their crooked dealings of hiding monies and investing flats in Dubai with oour cash; why should someone in their corerect mind follow a thiff like Elvis Afriyie and Adu Asare to Court when everybody knows they stole $3 million during the Brazil World Cup with forged invoices and inflated expenditure to the people of Ghana ; besides this ewe man Tsatus was not WRONGLY jailed by Kuffour ; the man jailed on facts of the matter ; the man was a KROOK and a thiff ; he was released because he was seriously ill in jail and Kuffour had to pardon him ; even any mad person will not support any NDC member like OPUNI and Mrs LordinaMahama who created fake contracts to still from Cocoa Board.
Tsikata was not wrongful jailed he asked GNPC to garuntee a loan for a certain who did not pay his and GNPC being garuntor has to pay the load and he tsikata turn round to collect his share of the money
am ndc member and double us delegate,as for will not waste my time and energy to follower.any former prsident mahama"s appointees to court for what.koku is very right,they think we fouls.
Does sending somebody to court makes the person a criminal? I think this kwaku guy talks too much and needs to be advised. Even himself can be taken to court, that doesn't mean he is a criminal. He is losing it all and such a person don't deserve to hold an executive position in a party. The likes of Tsatsu were wrongly jailed to which Kuffour regretted and released him before his tenure so shouldn't NDC support such a person?
Koku is correct and wishes to distance himself from the appointees of Jon mahama who have been fingured to be involved in lutting state monies besides what is this idea of solidarity advocated by Jon Mahama ; why should any sane person upon reading the facts of bloated contracts ; buying of estate in dubai with stolen state funds abroad follow a JOn Mahama' appointee to a Court what difference would it make ; why should anybody with enough brains follow a Jon Mahama appointee to court when everybody knows that ; that person lived in a simple house had huge overdradrft with the bank and then suddenly builds himself a manasion owes three cars ; travels in first class with his family and suddenly can afford to give huge sums of monies under the guise of tithes to a church and seats in the front pulpit of the church with his family ; how can you follow an NDC man like Kofi Adams who fits the above bill or Asiedu Nketia who over bloats contracts when building the BUI DAM purchases a house in the US/Canada ; Massa Ghanaians are not ***barred word*** anymore ; even JJ Rawlings; Kuffour and Jon Mahama can be investigated by the SP.
Ato! Please behave well ok? It's about time we sanctioned and eradicated disrespectful people like you who the media men normally mistakenly call the 'NDC communicators', of which you are not, just to dis-brand our hard-fought for party to be in opposition. We are thinking of reorganizing the party on well-baked minds. Koku has the right to burst his opinions out. PLEASE LEARN AND BE SERIOUS FOR ONCE.
Follow them to court and they will still be jailed when found guilty. Politicians think we are always at their beck encore. Why should we leave our jobs and follow you to court because you have been charged. Are we lawyers? Mahama please come again
Hahahahaha, oh Koku will kill me
