The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says attacks on his person by the General Secretary of the party are unwarranted.

Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo insists he has discharged his responsibilities as the National Chairman of the party faithfully.

As such, he said Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia’s attacks on him are unfounded.

According to him, the latter is doing this due to his quest to unseat him.

“I have become aware of a viral interview granted to a media house by the General Secretary of my party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in which he makes various references to my person, leadership style and stewardship as National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress.

“Throughout my entire adult life, I have faithfully, dutifully, and conscientiously served the National Democratic Congress in various capacities.

“I have done so with honour and dignity while resisting every temptation to vilify political opponents,” he said.

However, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo said he will not respond to the said allegations made at his person due to his position in the party.

Having regard to the high office of party chairman which I occupy and the onerous responsibility of overseeing a successful reorganisation of our party in our quest to wrest power in 2024, I have decided not to respond to the said accusations.

Meanwhile, he has asked party members to put the interest of the party above all others.

“I hold the view that it is totally out of place for party officials to divulge or discuss internal party matters that are within their knowledge by virtue of their privileged position, in the media or on any public forum.

“It is within this spirit that I elect to refrain from commenting on the merit or otherwise of the matters that were referenced in the said interview, including high-level party decisions that are supposed to be held in confidence,” he added.
