The opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] says they are “solidly” behind a beleaguered member about to stand trial for causing financial loss to the state; former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Dr. Stephen Opuni.
The party’s National Organiser, Kofi Adams noted that “We (NDC) won’t allow them (NPP) to go ahead with their scheme to destroy the man (Opuni).”
Dr. Stephen Opuni, together with businessman and CEO of Zeera Group of Companies, Seidu Agongo and Agricult Ghana Limited, have been slapped with with 27 charges of defrauding by false pretence, contravention of the Public Procurement Act, corruption of public officer, money laundering among other various offences.
The two individuals and a company, according to the state, connived to defraud the state of GHC 43, 120,000.
The case will be up for hearing at the High Court in Accra on Friday, 23rd March 2018.
Dr. Opuni had his assets including his accounts, frozen by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) in February 2017.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, Mr. Adams said “It’s just a calculated attempt to tarnish the big man’s image but we won’t allow them to go ahead with their scheme to destroy the man. We want him to know that we are solidly behind him and we will make sure that he comes out victorious.”

KOFI ADAMS AND HIS DISCIPLES HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO SUPPORT OPUNI. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER. WE ALL CRY AT THE DEATH OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS BECAUSE IN SUCH CASES WE COME CLOSE TO IT AND BECOME SO REAL FOR US. MANY PEOPLE MIGHT BEHAVE IN THE MANNER AS KOFI ADAMS DOES BECAUSE THEY CANNOT THINK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN ESCAPE SIMILAR FATE.
An ill assorted group made up of th13ves,liars,philanderers,and deviants.Why wouldn't they stick with their own kind?
Sometimes I wonder why people expected to know better behave in a questionable way such as what I am seeing from the angle of Kofi Adams. A person who has been a secretary should understand simple logic even if that person cannot remember simple equation. If the current government would like to tarnish Opuni image, Kofi why not allow the law and Opuni to justify all the payments. Kofi be matured and stop immature and childish politics. If you want the media to hype your issues, please stand on a better grounds and productive issues. Do not fail your people Kof Adams.
That was laughable! if the men get jail terms go and stay with him at Nsawam that will be great
YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE TO FACE THE MUSIC. GHANAIANS RATHER WON'T SIT DOWN FOR CROOKS LIKE YOU AND YOUR BOSS JOHN MAHAMA & IBRAHIM MAHAMA PLUS COUNTLESS OTHERS IN THE HOOD RAPE GHANA AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!
disgracefullll NDC... these are the things they do that Ghanaians hate.. thievessssssssssssssssssss
THIS GUY KOFI ADAMS IS A TIFF HIMSELF. I AM DAVISING THAT OPUNI MAN NOT TO LISEN O THAT KLUCK. KOFI ADAMS IS A FOREIGNER A TOGOLESE KOTOKOLI MAN. AND WHO IS HE?THAT THE AUTHORITIES ARE TALKING AND HE IS COUNTER.
why dont you allow the laws of the country to work? opuni has legal representation. rule of law is the game
i will advise opuni not to listen to this ed10?t. he shd learn from the story of Jesus even if he doesnt believe in him and learn to carry his cross by himself. they will all run away when u are found guilty. this ed10?t called kofi adamu is saying this so that he shd not implicate them. but i will advise him that if he doesnt want to die alone for the cr1m3 that we all know it was committed by a cr1m1nal gang of which he was just a mere leader then he shd not listen to this n1ncomp0?op. well he already knows the gang he was dealing with so I wont be surprised he wont mention names and will go in alone. I wish him well in his preparation to go to jail.
LORDINA WILL FOLLOW AND WHAT WILL YOU DO? BIG ***barred word***-HOLE
