The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has explained why it was absence at the National Peace Council (NPC) meeting for discussions on drafting a roadmap to address political vigilantism in Ghana on Thursday.
Deputy General Secretary of the party, Peter Boamah Otokunor, said his outfit’s absence was not a deliberate ploy nor an attempt not to be part of the process.
He explained that at the time of the dialogue, the NDC was in court with her National Chairman, Mr Ofosu Ampofo, where he is standing trial for some alleged offenses.
“We couldn’t meet the NPC because our chairman was scheduled to appear before court on Thursday and because that was equally important, we had to go and support him,” he told Accra-based radio station, Okay FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.
