Former Ashanti Regional secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Joseph Yammin is accusing government of orchestrating a personal vendetta against former Chief Executive of Ghana Cocoa Board, Dr. Stephen Opuni.
According to Joseph Yammin, his own checks from reliable sources in government reveal there is no credible charge against the former COCOBOD boss and that, he (Dr. Opuni), is only a subject of hatred.
He is, therefore, calling on President Akufo Addo to show exemplary leadership by condemning the victimisation of Dr. Stephen Opuni.
Yammin was speaking in an interview with www.abusuafmonline.com in response to reports that accounts of the former Chief Executive have been frozen pending investigations into some contracts he signed while serving at COCOBOD.
Dr. Stephen Opuni had his bank accounts put on freeze by government.
The bank accounts were frozen pending the outcome of ongoing investigations by the Economic and Organised Crime Office into alleged procurement irregularities under the former CEO’s tenure.
Dr. Opuni, immediate past Chief Executive of the Board is suspected of superintending over questionable contracts he signed while in office.
Dr Opuni was fired by President Akufo-Addo through a letter signed by the Executive Secretary to the president, Nana Asante Bediatuo which asked him to vacate post not later than 5:00 pm Friday, January 13, 2017.
But Joseph Yammin believes the government is only embarking on a needless witch-hunt of the former COCOBOD Chief Executive.
“Though I am one person who benefited nothing from him as C.E.O of COCOBOD, I think they are just harassing him to gain cheap political points”, he said.
He adds, “Ghanaians nust call a spade a spade and not shy away from the fact that Dr. Opuni has been the NPP’s target even when they were in opposition.”
“How many times hasn’t their own Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong call Dr. Opuni names and even threatened him jail at a time Dr. Opuni’s government was in office,” he asked.
“He has paid his due by serving our mother land and I think the NPP must leave him alone to enjoy his personal life”, Yammin added.

YAMIN STOP LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETHS, BY THE WAY HAVE YOU HONOURED YOUR PROMISE TO ADOM TV HOST, I MEAN THE PICK-UP TRUCK YOU UNPROVOKINGLY BET WITH AGAINST AN IPHONE. WHICH SOURCE IN GOVERNMENT IS PROVIDING WHAT?,BECAUSE YOU EAT,SLEEP,BATH,SMELL,AND IN FACT LOOK AT EVERYTHING WITH POLITICS SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, VICTIMIZATION. WHO IS VICTIMIZING WHO. WRONG CAN NEVER EVER BE RIGHT NO MATTER WHO DECORATED IT IS. SAY THE TRUTH AND PERSUE THE TRUTH AND YOU AND YOUR NDC SHALL BE SET FREE.
Venturing into Ghana politics doesn't require any qualifications or certificate. To be a successful politician in Ghana today, one needs to be a loudmouth, be able to weave lies, (sorry Ayariga), insult, disrespect and many other vices'. Just look at who is talking. He doesn't even understand the meaning of the " victimizing" . So this dumb is saying any criminal is their own. Folks, continue from here....
Of course he can enjoy his personal life, but you see, if he's been found to engage in any illegality, he will be dealt with by the laws of Ghana! Same way your founder shot people for GOING FOR A LOAN, which was LEGAL. You know what would happen to Opuni had this been PNDC time?? My goodness. We would be looking for his body parts in remote areas of Ghana yo bury! If you've helped him to steal, Yammin, pls bring everything back BOKOOOOR...for the arm of the law is loooooong indeed and it will find your greasy head!
