National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has stated that the leaked audio circulating on social media believed to be that of the NDC party chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, is fake.
According to him, the leaked tape has been doctored to achieve a deliberate, mischievous and evil purpose.
Speaking in an interview on an Accra based radio station, Sammy Gyamfi said “That tape is fake and has been doctored. Yes we had a meeting and we don’t record in our meetings and so it is a ploy to tarnish our image. What they do is to slice the tapes, insert their own versions and with technology available today, they add things to them.
80 percent of the issues in that tape are fake. The NPP are only using this tape to divert attention from the shameful Nana Addo government. It is an imitation of the original.”
A leaked tape is said to have the voice of Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo in a meeting with party communicators saying “we’re going to take her [EC boss] to the cleaners.”
“As for the EC chair, we must wage a relentless war on her. Me, she doesn’t want to see my face,” Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo allegedly said at the meeting which took place after the Ayawaso by-election.
As part of strategic communication plans for the NDC going into the 2020 elections, Ofosu-Ampofo also gave his blessings for the communicators to verbally attack the Peace Council chairman Professor, Emmanuel Asante.
