General News of Saturday, 15 June 2019Source: peacefmonline.comNDC will not stop politicizing kidnappings - Sammy GyamfiNational Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy GyamfiNational Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has rejected calls by many Ghanaians not to reduce the Canadian kidnapping saga to the usual partisan politics. Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, Sammy Gyamfi, who expressed unhappiness with the way his National Chairman Ofosu Ampofo and the NDC have been wrongfully indicted, said it is in order for the NDC to name the kidnappers and the political party they are affiliated to. “Some people want the NPP to continue tarnishing the name of Ofosu Ampofo and the NDC and therefore are uncomfortable when we reveal the identities of kidnappers as NPP members, we will continue to politicize the case. He added that comments by government communicators and ministers all attest to the fact that the NDC National Chairman is behind the kidnapping cases in the country without any evidence to buttress their claims except that "so-called doctored tape". “It is only President Akufo-Addo and his NPP government that out of sheer hatred, they have vowed to disgrace Ofosu Ampofo for no reason .
