For the wages of committing political sins is to be voted into eternal opposition and until the New Patriotic Party repents, they will never taste political power, a lawyer has predicted.. Lawyer Dennis Ofosu Appiah, a senior legal advisor to the Progressive People�s Party, made this remark on Okay FM. Rubbing more salt into the electoral wounds of the NPP, Lawyer Ofosu Appiah noted that the NPP is too obsessed with issues that sought to make the country ungovernable. He advised that as Ghanaians, "we must all focus on things which would bring about development and not give room to issues that will add up to the mounting pressures on whichever administration is in power". Lawyer Ofosu Appiah�s reason to go hard on the NPP stems from their decision to petition the Chief Justice and request for an investigation into the 2012 election petition verdict. Ms. Victor Hammah raised several eyebrows when a voice purported to be that of hers was caught on tape boasting that ahead of the reading of the election petition, the current administration used Nana Oye Lithur as a vessel to get the Supreme Court Judges to rule in their favour. Following this development, the NPP in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie called on the Chief Justice to commence a probe into the judgment of the election petition case. But Lawyer Ofosu Appaih believes the NPP are handling the issue wrongly. Their call for a probe makes absolutely no sense to him. �Just because a young lady has been unfortunate and had her private conversation taped and made public, the NPP has petitioned the Chief Justice over the matter. So this tells us that what they are aiming to achieve is to stop the president from enjoying his peace and make the nation ungovernable. They are seeking to drive away investors who would want to come and help reduce the unemployment rate in the country, he said. �In my view, they are nothing better than nation wreckers�, he added.
