It is hypocritical for President Nana Akufo-Addo to just condemn his party members for breaching COVID-19 safety protocols during the New Patriotic Party’s primaries while a pastor and some ordinary citizens have been jailed for similar offences, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, Chairman of the biggest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said.
President Nana Akufo-Addo, at the weekend, told members of the NPP that they must not break the COVID-19 safety protocols again as they did during the parliamentary primaries on Saturday, 20 June 2020.
In his acceptance speech at the party’s ceremony to acclaim him as the presidential candidate for 2020 on Saturday, 27 June 2020, Mr Akufo-Addo said: “My dear friends and colleagues, this past weekend, our party came to the end of the processes that we have to go through to prepare for the elections in December with the primaries in constituencies, where we have sitting MPs”.
“Unfortunately, in our enthusiasm and sheer unbridled joy, we broke some of the COVID-19 safety protocols. It should not happen again”, he warned.
However, speaking in an interview with Accra FM on Monday, 29 June 2020, the National Chairman of the NDC said: “A pastor has been jailed for breaking the President’s Executive Instrument but why do you watch your own people break your own rules before you just condemn it? It’s hypocrisy”.
According to Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, “The police just walked about at the primaries and did nothing, only for you to come and condemn it”, adding: “Governance and leadership is not an easy thing”.
He, thus, asked the President to release the jailed pastor and the others, and, in like manner, “just condemn them” for breaking the protocols as he did to the NPP members.
“It’s a selective application of your own executive orders. You can’t govern a country like that”, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo insisted.

Logical commosensical proposition. Too plain to see. Too simple for Akofo ado to understand.
Stop supporting FOOOOOOOOLS! You also have very serious case to answer. It the case of "birds of the same feathers fly together"? Oh, NDC, where are your men of old?
LOOK AT AND LISTEN TO THE SO CALLED PENTECOSTE ELDER OF OUR GENERATION,PRETEND.. ER OF CHRIST CHOSEN FOLLOWER-ELDER OFOSU AMPOFO.D-E-V-I-L IN-C-A-R-N-A-T-E,W-O-L-F IN SHEEP CLOTHING YOU STILL DON,T FEEL ASHAME OF YOUR SELF TO TALK IN PUBLIC AND YOU GET ON BRAGING.
OFOSU AMPOFU NDC HAD' NO REGARD OF THE OTHER ARMS OF GOVERNMENT THE JUDICIALLY AND THE LEGISLATIVE. IN VIEW OF THAT THEY JUDGE AKUFFO ADDO NPP FROM THE SAME MIRROR. NDC SHOULD NOT TAKE EVERYBODY TO BE LIKE THEM TO INTERFERE WITH THE STATE INSTITUTIONS. FOR NDC EVERYTHING IN GHAANAA IS AAKUFFO ADDO. ALL OTHER INSTITUTIONS DO NOT MATTER FOR THEM. EVERYTHING IS THE PRESIDENT. THEY MAKE THE PRESIDENT TOO POWERFUL AND EVERY ONE ELSE
IF OFOSU AMPOFO IS NOT HYPOCRITE AS HE'S TAGGING THE PRESIDENT, HE SHOULD FIRST CALL FOR THE ARREST OF HIS PARTY SUPPORTERS WHO DISREGARDED ALL THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND BESIEGED AT CID'S HEADQUARTERS TO SUPPORT BERNARD MORNAH. STOP THIS NEEDLESS POLITICS.
Do you want the President go round and arrest them? Why was the Police deployed?
Do you remember sledge hummer = bulldozer
Lawless NDC party...... I remember the release of Montie 3 by the c0rrupt John Airbus Ford Mahama. Go to court if you think otherwise. This Pentecost Elder is embarrassing the Pentecost Church.
Ofosu Ampofo you are on your way to jail.
What is Ofosu Ampofo saying Lawless NDC (Notorious, Deceitful Criminals) Party Chairman saying was that so called man of God not cautioned the first time by the court before he was jailed after the second offense. Still you people don't read.
