The First Vice Chair of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has said that his party is tolerant and did not manoeuvre to get immediate past Chief Justice Georgina Wood to exit her position during the administration of the NDC.
This is contrary to remarks by Mrs Wood who said that she nearly resigned because there was so much pressure for her to do so during the tenure of the Umbrella party.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service to celebrate her 70th birthday at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church in Accra, Mrs Wood said the support of Justice Jones Dotse helped her to weather that storm.
“…Can you imagine, a full vessel, an array of the men and women who matter at the time with the press in full array asking you to resign?” Mrs Wood, who was appointed by former President John Kufuor, revealed.
But Mr Ampofo has suggested otherwise, insisting that the NDC was unlike the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) which forces appointees of past governments out of office.
“She must thank God that we were not like the NPP to force her out and she was able to complete her term,” he said on Thursday, June 8.
For him, credit must be given to the NDC that she served her term without any effort by NDC officials in government at the time to have her out.
“If we have been very tolerant and helped her to complete her tenure, then she should thank God that we did not force her out like what the NPP has done to the Bank of Ghana Governor and others under the pretext of resigning. Go back and see the stories behind it; they are forcing people out of office,” he said on Asempa FM.

@ Tinko, please let me know the branch of Pentecost where this disgraceful man fellowships
Ofosu Ampofo be human once. Don't try to answer everything. Pretend you've never heard sometimes. Big big positions are always given to matured politicians not people who talk by heart.
Ofosu Ampofo should know that there is a whole world of difference between getting cheap political appointments and party leadership position especially in ndc and becoming a Chief Justice of Ghana. Georgina is not your class so you should remain in lane of ndc full soldiers.
THIS PHOTOGRAPHER GUY IS MAKING HIMSELF IMPORTANT THAN HE REALLY IS BECAUSE THE UNDESERVED POSITIONS HE OCCUPIED UNDER P(NDC). I GET BORED STIFF BECAUSE OF HIS DISJOINTED DISCOURSE ON NATIONAL ISSUES. HE IS TOO QUICK TO ENUMERATING THE APPOINTMENTS HE HAD DURING HIS P(NDC) DAYS JUST TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK IMPORTANT. HE SHOULD KNOW THAT MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS OF GHANAIANS CAN STAND UP TO HIS QUALIFICATION AND KNOWLEDGE IF NOT BETTER SO HE SHOULD STOP WASTNG OUR EARS.
Oh Ofosu Ampofo, why try to answer or respond to everything? NDC has eaten into your fibre such that you want to defend everything about this party. I hear you are an ELDER in the Pentecost Church. Have you heard of the statement "SILENCE IS GOLDEN?" The comparison you are making are just ***barred word***. The former Governor of the BOG said he was leaving on his own volition. I salute Dr Issahaku for his courageous stance. Do you think it would have been proper for him to have hanged around when a new govt had assumed power? It would have been professionally unwise to do so.
