Attacks on Dormaahene is nothing but hatred and irresponsible – Deputy Regional Youth Organizer

The Deputy Bono Regional Youth Organizer for the opposition National Democratic Congress, the NDC, has described attacks on Dormaahene as nothing but hatred and irresponsible.

Dormaahene, who is the President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and a High Court judge of higher repute on Saturday, July 1, 2023 appealed to the President of Ghana through the Attorney General, to abort the trial of the Member of Parliament for Assin North, Hon James Gyakye Quayson.

The outspoken Chief made this plea as the chairman for the fourth series of the Regional Commemorative Lectures for the 10th Anniversary for the late former President John Evans Atta Mills in Sunyani.

The ruling New Patriotic Party and people within them, have strongly criticized the statement by Dormaahene and condemned his call as unnecessary. The Attorney General, Mr Godfred Dame, described the call as ‘unhealthy’ in his two page press release in response to Dormaahene and advised the public to stay away from making further comments on cases pending before the court.

In what can be described as a sharp response to these critics, the Deputy Regional Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress in the Bono Region, Mr Mustapha Omar Copson, in his write up, described those critics as ‘nothing but hatred and irresponsible’.

Mr Mustapha Omar Copson commended the Dormaahene as one of the very few opinion leaders in Ghana who comes out to speak against any ills in the society without any fear or favour and urged the others to learn from Dormaahene to speak truth to power no matter which political party is in government.

THE ATTACK ON NANA DORMAAHENE IS NOTHING BUT HATRED AND IRRESPONSIBLE

Since power changed hands from H.E. John Dramani Mahama to H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo in 2017, it has taken none but few opinion leaders such as chiefs, clergymen, CSOs, statesmen etc to boldly come out to correct the plethora of political vindictiveness and persecutions that have plagued our once beautiful country.

Nana Dormaahene did nothing wrong than to contribute his wisdom as a son of this country, a high court judge and the leader of the good people of Dormaa to at least bridge the gap to an already polarized society that will deepen our democratic and homogenous gains as a country.

Moreover, it is hypocritical for the likes of Mr Sam Okudjeto (member of the Ghana legal council) Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu (Majority leader and MP for Suame Constituency) Ernest Owusu Bempah (discredited young fellow) etc and the NPP’s miscreants to unleash unwarranted attack on the highly respected Chief.

The former senior minister, Mr Yaw Osafo Marfo facilitated a nolle prosequi case against Aisha Huang whom in his wisdom, thought it wise to free a criminal in exchange for development hence it is absolutely absurd to wake up to the sudden discovery of voices which were lost on the Aisha Huang issue.

If the Attorney General is sincere and apt to his task he should charge Akuffo Addo who is supposed to be a lawyer for contempt for making such a reckless and irresponsible statement in the matter of Hon.Gyaakye Quayson during one of their face saving rallies at Assin North.

The people of Ghana especially in the Bono region are very proud of the wise Chief for his courage and attributions to further secure and deepen our democratic gains.

Long live Dr Osagyefo!!
Long live Ghana!!!
