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.”

If Opuni, kromfor is not guilty, the High Court will set him free. So why worry, Kofi Adam and NDC? Only get him, Lawyer David Annan, Tsatsu or Ayariga. We will see whether he used our money or not
Kofi Adams, you are out of your senses. Everyone that has caused this country and the people of Ghana what is truly due them will DEFINITELY pay the consequences for it. ***barred word***
Only ***barred word*** will talk that
kwa sia su. You and who are behind Opuni ? who has ever followed a dead man into the grave we shall see if you will follow him to jail when he is found guilty.
If you do the crime then be prepared to do the crime. This man Opuni has been pointed in many shady fraudulent deals for a long time. He was the alleged “big man” behind the infamous Nayela ametepe’s cocaine saga. It’s alleged that it was him that facilitated the vvip escape route. As for this miserable fuuuool teacher kofi di3, he will get what’s coming to him p33333
See Why it will take divine intervention paaa to move Africa forward? Why won’t Africa be referred to as a sh*thole? A country when wrong cant be punished. Cos The equally korrupt will be gang up and be crying “witch hunting “ when one of them is arrested. A country where the laws predominantly catches the nobodies and the rich and affluents get away with murder and just about anything. You and who are solidly behind him? Your own party started complaining about him a long time ago when u morons were in power. So dis be your own cry ooo bafooon. Or you’re just saying that so when your time comes , u will have support too. It’s about time Ghanaians wake up and call the spade for what it is and STOP politicising everything. That’s our huge menace
***barred word***
You are solidly behind him; Why won't you? He created,looted and shared with you guys . You can all follow him to Nsawam when he's jailed.
We know the NDC always associated with l00ters of state coffers. They were deeply involved in and supported SMARTIES bus branding, "WOYOME financial engineering" so we don't expect anything new. Their solidarity won't exonerate Opuni, so they can do all they want. The l00ting is over so they should get ready for more prosecutions. I tot they were bragging that none of them have been touched after a year of NPP in office? now they are crying? FIRE BURN THEM!
Kofi Adams who told you that NDC is behind crooks like you. in fact we the NDC members support the move to trial people like you not to even mention Opunin. it's clear that the man has really cause Ghana billions of cedis and look what you are saying. is he above the law? Greedy bastards your time will come one by one. But the man did not do it on himself alone he did it with the John mahama's wife Lordina Mahama should also be investigated. Next time when you are put in a sensitive position like Cocoa board you will be careful to deal with issues.
