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.”

Why behind him? The NDC must solidly infront him
AS F0O0LISH AS YOU SOUND SO WILL YOU BE FO0OLISHLY LOOKING WHILES THE LAW DEAL & PROSECUTE ALL CORRUPT OFFICIALS WHO MILKED THE NATION.KOO-GYI-MIII IS YOUR NAME.
just want to allude to the old adage "show me your friend and I will show you your character." Showing solidarity will not help you Adamu, when you are hurled before the courts I tell you no one will be there for you. We did not pay him salary, free fuel, free car, bungalow and other allowances for him to treat us this way. when I said there will come a Pharoah who knew not Joseph people took me for granted. Here we are, Nana jail please jail them.
CAN'T YOU CLEARLY SEE IT IS A SCHEME TO TARNISH THE MAN'S NAME??.. WE WILL RESIST ANY ATTEMPT BY THE INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT TO HARASS THIS MAN.. AKUFFO ADDO HAS FAILED TO BRING HIS CORRUPT APPOINTEES TO BOOK. LOOK AT HOW CITIZENS ARE BEING SWAYED.... THINK THINK THINK... WHY CAN'T HE DEAL WITH HIS OWN CORRUPT PEOPLE... THEY WILL START RUNNING WHEN THE TABLES TURN... RAWLINGS IS JUST MAKING PREPARING THE NDC TO DO MASSIVE THINGS TO THESE CORRUPT PEOPLE IN THE NPP WHEN THE NDC TAKES OVER POWER SOON. AND I MEAN REAL SOON... WE ARE HERE AND WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS..
old days, same were england witches are not allowed in the Country,if they catch you they will burned you. so if there is witch in ghana here let hunt them stupiiiiiid fooooooooooooools when you people chop our money finished you hear stupiiiisiiiiiiid foooollllish people who will say political hunting GOD will Curse you all. Onye ***barred word*** AHHHM KUMASI NDC
WHO CARES????? when you even sleep in his room as he faces the law. Unfortunately, you can't replace him in the dock. SORRY for you. Parliament should pass a law which people who support corruption under political allegiance must be tried also, so that people like these would not disturb our ears.
There he goes again.So uncle Kofi Adamu when at all will you think as a patriotic Ghanaian.What can you do?He will be prosecuted so go burn the sea if you can.If you are a man of testicular fortitude stop the legal process.
THE SAME THING STARTED WHEN WOYOME'S CASE CAME UP. NDC TOP MEN AND SUPPORTERS SAID ALL SORT OF THINGS TO SUPPORT HIM BUT LATER TRIED TO DISOWN WOYOME WHEN IT WAS CLEAR AFTER SUPREME COURT RULING THAT HE HAS TO REFUND THE MONEY
I really find it extremely difficult to accommodate Kofi Adams.I don't wish him dead but something should just take him out of our nation building agenda. We have been doing this for decades which has cost poor mother Ghana a lot and Kofi Adams wants us to continue on the same path. Scratch my back and I scratch your back. NPP is not interested in that deal please. NPP should jail them so that NDC will also do same to NPP if they should ever come to power again. I hope not anyway. He couldn't organise NDC to win power but he can organise NDC to support Cr!m!nals as the court.
SO WHY DID YOU NOT RALLY BEHIND ABUGA PELE? OR BECAUSE HIS MONEY WAS SMALL? OPUNI'S MONEY WAS BIG BIG SO YOU MEMBERS CHOP BIG BIG. NSAWAM IS WAITING FOR YOU ALL NO MATTER YOUIR NUMBER. YOU WILL ALL GO INSUDE.
