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.”

Statements like this tend to confirm remarks by others that the NDC is a party of bandits! A court of competent jurisdiction is trying someone for defrauding the state and you crookedly posit that this is politics! Why won't you support him...you have a reputation for sharing in most of the loot created by the former government and when they went to your house you alone had about 4 high-grade vehicles! What work do you do apart from being a national organizer? Look, Ghanaians have come of age and we are tired of politicians crying wolf after squandering national resources and when they are being tried they say it is political witch-hunting. We need our stolen money back,people spend less than a dollar today in this country and yet politicians swim in opulence..we are sick of you people.Who doesn't know dr opuni is corrupt in this country? Even his own workers(who could be both NPP and NDC) wanted him removed for his unbridled acts of corruption, impunity and arrogance.Politicians must face it: once you squander public resources you must be prepared to get caught by the long arms of the law and we are neutral Ghanaians look forward to more trials,convictions, retrievals and jail terms! We had nii lantey spew some garbage after the conviction of abuga pele and even before the trial of dr opuni begins this bull-dog opens his mouth to say this robbishhh!
WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE KOFI ADAMS SO BEREFT OF BRAINS. WE ARE A PARTY TRYING TO COME TO POWER AND A HIGH RANKING OFFICER OF THE PARTY IS SEEN TO BE CONDONING CORRUPTION. WHY WHY WHY, SINCE OPUNI IS BEING TAKEN THROUGH DUE PROCESS, WE SHOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO WAORK AND ITS IMPORTANT WE DISTANCE OUR GREAT PARTY FROM REAL OR IMAGINARY CORRUPTION.
Kofi talk like a matured person and who says is NPP that is after Opuni and his create,loot and share team.It is the laws of the state and we will not allow corrupt people both past and present to have space to breath.
I don't know that one of the functions of a national organizer of the NDC is to support criminals.
You had money full of fertiliser bags in your V-8 during the 2016 Election Week. You were with Girls on Spintex Road drinking Green Bottles on the night before the elections and you were bringing Money out in Bundles. You were not even checking. Day of reckoning in here. The Stolen V-8s and all would be accounted for. If You think the apology from the INCOMPETENT KEN DAPAA at the National Security means your are sorted then think again.
Do you think the entire NDC support you on this? In any case what are you going to do to stop a court processes?
Oh! Kofi Adams. Do not preempt the charges before the law courts. If he not guilty of all the charges he will be left off the hook irrespective of it being 27. Do not let us begin to think that this is the stock in trade of the NDC.
Let the rule of law work. Don't expect us to follow you blindly because we are NDC. Ghanaians are watching and listening to us even in opposition.649885
