This is the same man who was at a peace rally calling for peace before the 29th August verdict. So what peace was he really calling for?

What makes him think he is right and the panel of justices are wrong? Why can Okudjeto not simply accept that his is a false, outrageous and quite frankly divisive analysis and conclusion which if anything only serves to negate the very peace he claimed to be calling for. In other words, it makes him a hypocrite and that is unstatesmanlike!!!

TALK BIG, DO NOTHING....
MAHAMA SAYS: LET THEM EAT CAKE....
...TARRIFS ARE GOING UP ALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN GH. YET, WE DONT SEE AN IOTA OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICES OR QUALITY INFRATSRUCTURE. YOU HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING YET.
ILLITERACY/LACK OF BASIC EDUCATION HAS CAUSED THE PPL TO VOTE OUT OF SHEER EMOTIONS AND ETHNIC JUDGEMENTS.
PUMPING MONEY INTO PUBLIC SERVICE ISNT THE WAY TO GO. ESP IN TODAY'S CASH STRAPPED, TECHNOLOGY INSPIRED WORLD. GOVT MUST STREAMLINE THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
WE HAVE DISTRICT, MUNICIPAL/CITY, REGIONAL AND FEDERAL GOVT . STREAMLINE THE GOVT N REMOVE THESE QUACK/QUASI, USELESS GOVT INSTITUTIONS WHICH EXIST BUT DONT DO ANYTHING TO RENDER EFFICIENT SERVICE OR COLLECT REVENUE.
CHECK PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. CUT DOWN PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES. HIRE LESS PPL TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT SERVICE. WE NEED DISCIPLINE, CLEAR OVERSIGHT, CHECK N BALANCES N PATRIOTIC HARDWORKERS IN THE SYSTEM.
NOT A BUNCH OF THIEVES WHO COME TO STEAL N COLLECT BRIBES! WHO ARE YOU MAKING A MOCKERY OF?...
IN MY BOOK, YOU EITHER DO IT RIGHT. OR YOU GET ELIMINATED.
DO WE RECYCLE WATER IN GH? DO WE RECYCLE GARBAGE IN GH?....WAT MODERN INNOVATIONS HAVE WE APPLIED TO OUR ENERGY SECTOR TO CONSERVE ENERGEY?
WE OUGHT TO BE VERY RGATE FUL FOR DR. NKRUMAH FOR HAVING THE VISION TO PUT IN PLACE THE DAMS, THE WATER WORKS ETC. OTHERWISE, GH WOULD HAV EBEEN A BARREN PLACE, LIKE THE DESERT.
TOO MANY GH PPL LACK SELF CONFIDENCE AND DONT BELIEVE IN WHO THEY ARE. THEN AGAIN, U CANT BLAME THEM. LOOK AT THEIR SURROUNDINGS..OPEN GUTTERS, FILTH, DIRT EVERYWHERE!
NO PLANNING, PPL SELLING FOOD NEXT TO FILTH, I MEAN ITS A SHAME...ITS A SHAME. SINCE THE DAYS OF METHUSELAH, WE HAVE BEEN WASTING MILLIONS ON MALARIA, WHY?
WAT WILL IT TAKE TO DEVELOP MODERN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, CLOSED GUTTERS?
PERHAPS GH DONT EVEN DESERVE TO BE IN BRASIL. THIS ISNT ABOUT NPP OR NDC. LOOK AT YOUR SURROUNDINGS? WHAT DO U SEE?
MAHAMA HAS JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT IN NEW YORK WITH THE UN TO HAVE OUR DAUGHTERS INJECTED WITH THIS HPV VACCINE. THE FACTS ALONE TELLS US THAT
THIS HPV VACCINE DOES NOT HELP, BUT RATHER WORSENS THE CASE FOR THE HPV VIRUS. INFACT, THE VACCINE IS ONLY GOOD FOR YOUNG VIRGINS, NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE FEMALES.
THEREFORE, I POSE THIS TO ALL THOSE VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR HIM. IS THIS THE TYPE OF LEADER YOU HAD INMIND? WHAT IS HE DOING TO PROTECT YOU WELFARE IN TERMS OF HEALTH and EDUCATION?
DUMMIES...TARRIFS ARE GOING UP ALL ACROSS THE BOARD IN GH. YET, WE DOTN SEE AN IOTA OF AN IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICES OR QUALITY. YOU HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING YET.
YOU VOTE OUT OF SHEER EMOTIONS AND ETHNIC JUDGEMENTS.
NANA OBOA NIPA FOR PRESIDENT!
JUST PUT A GUN IN UR CAR. WHEN U GET TO THE TOLL BOOTH. JUST POINT UR GUN AT THE TOLL COLLECTOR N SEE WAT HAPPENS. NKWASIAFUOR.
WHERE IS ALL THE LOAN MONIES? WHERE IS ALL THE REVENUE FROM THE SALE OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES?
MAHAMA IS AN ENEMY TO GHANA......
HE KILLED MILLS BCOS MILLS WANTED GH'S GOLD REPatriated BACK TO GHANA. MAHAMA KILLED MILLS BCOS MILLS WAS AGAINST GMO , CANCER CAUSING FOODS TO OUR PPL. MILLS WAS AGAINST ANTIVIROL DRUGS LIKE THE HPV VACCINE.
THIS IS WHY MAHAMA, AWOONOR N THE REST KILLED HIM. WHY CANT THE GOVT SUBSIDIZE ITS OIL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PPL. WHY CANT THE GOVT BUILD MORE REFINERIES?THIS LEVEL OF SHEER I DONT CAREISM N GROSS STUPIDITY IS BEYOND ME.
IM ALL FOR WAR AT THIS POINT....FOOLISHNESS! PAPA NY3 HWEE, BONE SO NY3 HWEEE. WE HAVE AGGRESSIVE OUTSIDERS LIKE MAHAMA N THOSE SO CALLED FOREIGN INVESTORS COMING IN TO RAPE GH N PRETENDING TO BE OUR FRIENDS.
RELIGION HAS BEEN THE CHIEF DERIFICATION OF OUR CULTURE IN GH. EVERY FUCKING WHERE U GO , YOU SEE JESUS PICTURE ON EVERYTHING. WAT A BUNCH OF FOOLISHNESS....REMOVE ALL THIESE LIES N THINK FOR YOUR DAMN
SELVES. STOP COWTOEEING TO THIS SO CALLED WESTERN CULTURE.
KOFI AWOONOR. EDUCATED TERRORIST
Awonoor himself was a local terrorist who has his hands in the abduction and murder of three Akan judges including a woman who was nursing a baby.
Awonoor al-shabbab terrorist friends did not know their friend was at the mall to shop with stolen money from his hated Akans.
ONLY IN SMELLY GHANA..LOL
Dahou claimed the WBC Youth Welterweight championship with third round stoppage of Dodze.
Peter Zwenes, President of the GBA says his outfit shares the outrage of the boxing fans who witnessed the fight which saw the corner men of Dodze throw in the towel after the Ghanaian had
knocked out the Algerian.

Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanitarian reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imaginING if Ghana is not the same as Haiti??!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turnED into tribal politics!!#
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 BILLION DOLLARS of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
JUST WATCH, AFTER MAHAMA LEAVES. GHPPL WILL NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR A NORTHNER EVER AGAIN.....JUST WATCH! FOLKS, THIS IS NOT ABOUT NPP OR NDC. WE WANT OUR SHARE OOOOTOM!
WAT DO MAHAMA N MILLS HVE IN COMMON U ASK? TALK BIG, DO NOTHING!

Can you counter his argument on legal grounds? The fact that the law allows review of SC cases suggests clearly that, the judges don't have exclusive custody to law, facts and wisdom. If you think "contempt" is there to curtail or STOP people from expressing their right of freedom of speech, then think again. Of course "he understands the judgement better than [MOST] Ghanaians"!!!

If you don't posses the logic to debunk the argument of this astute lawyer, then hush it up!

You just like Tamakloe, Tarzan, Arthur K, Dr Frimpong, Dr Bawumia, Ofori Appiah and a few NPP Big wigs are honest politicians but stacked in the wrong party.

There are currently no geniuine leaders in the NPP, they are all a bunch of tribal intolerant supremacist whose agenda is to see Ghana divided on tribal lines.

They are extreme litigants, very bitter and angry in nature. You disagree with them and become their enemies for life. They will preach this hatred to their wards from generation to generation.

Do you sincerely want to belong this these group of ethnic and greedy supremacist? I think you can do better than this. Leave and join the CPP.

Thank you and God bless Ghana.

Have you guys realized how horrible Sam Okudzeto's English grammar is? I understand he studied and acquired his practicing law certificate in Britain yet his subject/verb agreement (a basic rule of English grammar) is very very terrible. Is it as a result of the onset of senility which comes with age? If so, then could that be an index for us to determine the appropriateness of his analysis on this matter? In other words, could his loosening grip on the English language be indicative of his deteriorating mental faculty and hence disabling him from making very sound analysis and arguments? Of course, his over-bloated ego and pride will not allow him to admit that his mental faculty is failing him.

Kwame, come again. Does English grammar per se, constitute Law? You are pathetic indeed. Your comments are also full of punctuation errors. Okudzeto is a sterling legal individual with more experience in the law profession than you and Atuguba. If you followed the court hearing, you would know very well that the verdict was a sham and those corrupt judges will live with their shame for the rest of their lives. Ghana is doomed forver. Corruption is endemic in the Ghanaian society. Kwame, I think you stink.

Togbe, Okudzeto may be the worst person ever to speak the Queen's language but his arguments make sense if you try to look beyond his "poor" English. The court set out to do 2 things: 1. were there widespread irregularities in the voting? 2. Could that change the outcome? The court did not rule on those 2 issues they themselves set out for themselves. That is the point. When Okudzeto speaks, one can notice from his accent that he is an Ewe. That is no crime.

I don't know why people are thinking like this. If you read the piece well and analyzed that yourself, you would realized Mr. Okudjeto never called for a war nor fighting. He is a prominent lawyer, and what such people do is to analyze ruling such as the SC Verdict and bring out what he think. he made his point, and interesting he's not the first person to make such an analyzes.

Ghanaians wants development, yet we don't want to hear the PLAIN TRUTH. We get upset at anyone who doesn't speak in favor of our political party. We don't even sit down to analyze what the person said, WHETHER IT WAS THE TRUTH OR NOT. That is not so healthy to our beloved Ghana.

The panel was wrong, and they themselves know that as they have to even come back to correct their on judgement delivered. How can a full SC judge misread a judgement??????????????? Isn't that shameful to you????????????

Please, stop calling name. Read and analyze. Thank you and stay bless.

Paul, you never join any debate but the first word you usually write is either 'fool' or 'foolish'. This does not serve your intellectual ability. Being a Ph.D, you probably critiqued someone's theory or findings before you earned your degree. This is what academic discourse is about. No one takes offence but rather justifies their stance.

Sam Okudzeto has made his analysis. Is he wrong? If so, let us have the benefit of your intellectual wherewithal as to why and how he is wrong. Throwing insults at those whose analysis you disagree with is intellectual laziness in my view.

This Sowu chap, was he helping the debate? That because it is said at the wrong time, it should not be said? When is the right time? If the argument is that, for the sake of peace, all should forget or not discuss issues arising from the petition, we would be storing problems for the near future (2016). it is better we air everything now so that we can get things acceptable to all in future. We bury our heads in the sand at the risk of the wheel coming off Ghana's democracy in future. Acknowledging problems and fixing them is the mark of a progressive society.

We should not be afraid to let our countrymen have the benefit of our thoughts. The only proviso is that, it should be done with civility and I don't think Mr. Okudzeto insulted anybody in critiquing the summary by Justice Atuguba.

He displayed his buffoonery by saying the country's finances could be bolstered by taxing residents of Traasaco Valley. Property rates are levied to cover Local Government services and not for Central Government expenditure. That is the limited extent of his contribution to national debate.

It appears the Presiding Judge- Justice Atuguba collected some big money from NDC and John Mahama just to do them some favour. Because from the beginning of his ruling to the end everything showed that he was trying to throw away the case.
Just look out how he confused the other judges by saying a different thing from what the others have said.
How on earth can he do that.
The court registry therefore have to come to correct so many things Atuguba did. other than that Atuguba tried to portray that one of his own colleagues justices did not know what to do and so he voted twice "for and against" which was not true.
So was there any overting by the even the judges? nswer me!!!
Why did Atuguba also lied to the media that the reasons for the ruling are all ready to collection by interested reports and he public at the court registry knowing very well that, that was true.
Why did he ran away to the USA just after his judgment and emailed to the registry his reasons for the ruling three days after from his hiding place in USA? Is it not a shame to Him and GHANA?
WHAT has NANA AKUFO- ADDO AND THE NPP done to Dr AFARI GYAN and ATUGUBA for HIM like that?
We all watched it and followed everything. There was no way MAHAMA should have been declared as validly elected. WHAT A SHAME TO THE SUPREME COURT. THEY COULD NOT EVEN DEFINE WHAT IS OVERVOTTING IN THEIR RULING? IS IT NOT A SHAME?
Lawyer OKUDZETO is RIGH. THE ROBBRY WAS OBVIOUS. THE PETITIONNER WON BOTH THE ELECTION AND THE COURT CASE.
We thank GOD Nana and the NPP says they are interested any review. You would see what would happened next. SAME ON JUSTICE ATUGUBA for all his treat. He was very bias from day one. Sir john was right to criticise him only that he did it very harshly.

If you read the piece well and analyzed that yourself, you would realized Mr. Okudjeto never called for a war nor fighting. He is a prominent lawyer, and what such people do is to analyze ruling such as the SC Verdict and bring out what he think. he made his point, and interesting he's not the first person to make such an analyzes.

Ghanaians wants development, yet we don't want to hear the PLAIN TRUTH. We get upset at anyone who doesn't speak in favor of our political party. We don't even sit down to analyze what the person said, WHETHER IT WAS THE TRUTH OR NOT. That is not so healthy to our beloved Ghana.

The panel was wrong, and they themselves know that as they have to even come back to correct their on judgement delivered. How can a full SC judge misread a judgement??????????????? Isn't that shameful to you????????????

Please, stop calling name. Read and analyze. Thank you and stay bless.

What i'm afraid of is he is putting Justice Atuguba in the spot by tagging him biased. If he is saying that the verdict should have been 5-4 in favor of the petitioner instead of the respondents according to him and the bench made a mistake then i don't know what he is calling for. What he is lacking in his argument is that the supreme court initially said that first, the would looked if there were irregularities and then they would decided on whether the irregularities affected the results. So he couldn't just looked through the transcripts of the judges and come up with different verdict to prove them wrong because they the judges voted on whether they think that the irregularities affected the results that why they came up with 7-2 in favor of the respondents. As a prominent lawyer,he should known that Justice Atuguba did not go through all the judges analysis(transcript) to come up with 7-2 verdict. what he is saying now is that Justice Atuguba took upon himself and read the transcripts and came up with the verdict. He is being bias for saying that the judges should have annulled votes where presiding officers did not sign the pink sheets.

Talking of Atubuga, if this man really cared about Ghana and Ghanaians, and knowing the magnitude of this case, first he will have been very careful in his delivery of the verdict. This Atubuga was known to have said, the SC was going to work in the interest of Ghanaians, was it meant by what he did?????? Secondly, if he really cared, he won't be delivering such a judgement from abroad. What at all was he supposed to do abroad that couldn't wait for him to deliver the judgment before he left???????

If our SC could make such a BIG MISTAKE, then the country is not safe at all, and somebody needs to point out as bitter as that may be.

It is vey sad that so-called intellectuals like Paul Amuna, who obviously has not had time to read the 588 page judgement will have the audacity to call a reputable judge like Okudjeto, who has scrutinized and analysed the 588 page judgement with a legal brain, as making a fool of himself. This is very unfortunate. Obviously Mr. Amuna is a Northerner and most likeky and NDC supporter. And therefore because the judgement favours him, he sees any intellectual analysis of the judgement as making a fool of oneself. Does Mr. Amuna know that supreme court judgements are used as study material for student lawyers? Does he also know that SC judgements provide the precedence for the determination of future cases? If the SC is making an erroneous judgement, it stands to reason that other legal intellectuals point out the Flaws in the judgement as a way of protecting posterity from a toxic precedence. It is obvious that, Justice Atuguba did not even analyse the written judgements of his colleague justices before he came out to read the error infested judgement, with Baffoe-Bonnie being both for and against the voting without verification. It is simplistic for Atuguba to conclude, without taking pains to count the numbers affected by the over-voting and voting without verification, that, the numbers involved are insignificant and will not affect the result. In effect Baffoe-Bonnie was upholding those infarctions, but taking refuge in the presumed numbers being insignificant. To any right thinking intellectual like Okudjeto, this assumption is obviously a travesty of justice. Seeing the sensitivity of the case that was before the justices, they would have done Ghana proud if they had concluded Bonnie's judgement as yes, over-voting occurred, but when we counted the numbers affected, only XYZ amount of vote were affected and therefore did not affect the results. You just don't assume that the numbers will be insignificant without counting. This is how an intellectual should think. And this is how Okudjeto is thinking as a true intellectual. He is therefore right branding his critics as ignorant folks who need to stop hiding behind the tribalistic and political affiliations and be true intellectuals. Amuna should therefore open his mind and be a true intellectual, instead of this obvious show of tribal allegiance placated as pseudo intellectualism.

I thought it was this same man who said Tsatsu was wrong to critique a judge.I thought it was this same man who said the VP was wrong to express an opinion that in his opinion the verdict should have been 9-0.Is old age taking premature toll over Okudjeto's sense of judgement? I am afraid the man has lost it.His fanatical foray into politics at this time of his life when we would wish he plays the role of a respected statesman is now being sacrificed on the alter of political expedience and fanaticism.

His analysis was wrong and it beggars believe and his reasoning flawed in logic otherwise a whole nation would not sit back and allow what he says is his stand to fly away without correction. The fact that no one takes his analysis serious enough to test it in court of law is evidence of his outrageousness.

Okudjeto is damaging his posterity.He was some one I associated with wisdom in my youth but i will agree with Shakespeare that it is only the eyes of childhood that fears a painted devil.He is now completely diminished in my estimation.

Some of you just don't get it.The man has clearly stated his position as an academic and legal practitioner of long standing. I doubt if you possess the substantive clout to pontificate on his insightful review of a rather tortuous legal exercise. Making reference to his admonishments to the V.P and Tsatsu is stale and akin to comparing the proverbial apples to oranges.
In your opinion a respected statesman should of necessity pertain to the docile breed. I beg to differ and I am indeed shocked when you say "The fact that no one takes his analysis serious enough to test it in court of law is evidence of his outrageousness" - How silly, illogical and outright infantile. This is Ghana mate!!!!!
I urge you not to bother with Okudjeto's legacy. Mind your own life pathways.
I also entreat you to desist from claiming appreciation of deep legal reasoning or arguments because what you have put out is clearly the effusions of the lay person. If you have any acquaintance in the legal fraternity in any civilised society, I strongly urge you to seek their opinions on this issue.
Any time I visit this forum, I am indeed saddened by the thought lines of those(sound educated)whom I expect to hold some promise with regard to the debate of our nation's condition. It appears we have a long journey to make.

The polititians should stop talking like little children who are hungry and waiting to be served their lunch by their mother.Mr sam okudjato has every right to criticize the special supreme court for their verdict whichever way the judgement would have gone either in favour of the NPP or the NDC.Is it b,cos of fear that the verdict has again been displaced in favour of NDC and for this reason nobody should talk about it else the peoples anger will be garvenized against them?. We must know that Nana Akuffo Addo in his candid decision has already sealed the peace expected in the country and no amount of hullabaloo can reverse that decision after his reluctant acceptance in fevour of peace in the country BUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS THE INELIANABLE RIGHT; ESPECIALLY THE LEARNED LAWYERS AND THE MEDIA TO DIAGNOSE THE OUTCOME OF THE SUPREME COURT VERDICT ALL FOR THE INTEREST OF POSTERITY:MY NEXT QUESTION IS WHY SHOULD THE SC COURT PUBLISH THE OUTCOME OF THEIR DECISION AS SOON AS THEY HANDED DOWN THEIR VERDICT?:THE ANSWER IS THAT IN EVERY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY TRANSPARENT IS THE BEST POLICY AND FOR THAT REASON NOBODY SHOULD FEAR OF ANY UPRISING FROM ANY QUARTER OF THE POPULACE:LEAVE OKUDJATO ALONE:

IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT PROFESSOR KWAME FRIMPONG OF MOUNTCREST UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF GHANA IN HIS RECENT CONTRIBUTION AT A SYMPOSIUM ORGANZIED BY DANQUAH INSTITUTE STATED THAT THE SUPREME COURT VERDICT ABOUT THE NPP EIGHT MONTHS PETITION HAS DISAPPOINTED GHANAIANS AND ALSO FAILED TO UPHOLD GHANA’S 1992 CONSTITUTION. HE ARGUED THAT THE NINE JUDGES FAILED WOEFULLY TO DISCHARGE THEIR CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED DUTY, AND THE JUDGEMENT SENDS GHANA BACK TO STONE AGE.
THE EMINENT LAW PROFESSOR, LIKE SAM OKUDZETO, SPEAKS ONLY FOR HIMSELF AND A FEW WHO BELIEVES IN THEIR BALDERDASH. SUCH RHETORICAL CONTRIBUTIONS MIGHT NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUS LOOKING AT THE BIAS AND UNPATRIOTIC NATURE OF SUCH CONTRIBUTION. WHILE THE LAW PROFESSOR AND SAM OKUDZETO ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS, THEIR ASSERTION DO NOT REFLECT ON THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BRAINS AND MINDS OF THEIR OWN. I HAVE DIFFICULTIES UNDERSTANDING WHY SUCH PEOPLE GO ON PEDDLING FALSEHOOD AND FOR THAT MATTER CRITICAL WITH THE TRUTH, ONLY TO SCORE ACADEMIC POINTS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BY VIRTUE OF TEACHING EARN THEM PROFESSORSHIP OR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN OUR SOCIETY AND FOR THAT MATTER THINK THEIR BIAS VIEWS AND SIDELINING MUST BE UPHELD IN OUR SOCIETY. IF SO THEN, THE QUALITY OF LEARNING IS GONE MAD.
ONE THING I HAVE OBSERVED IS THAT, MOST GHANAIAN SCHOLARS ARE ILLITERATE IN THEIR ANALYSES AND CONTINUE TO MAKE SILLY CONTRIBUTIONS UNMERITED. IF PROF. KWAME FRIMPONG IS OF A SOUND MIND, HE WOULD ALSO NOTICE THAT ARTICLE 64 OF GHANA’S 1992 CONSTITUTION DIDN'T PER SE INDICATE THAT NANA ADDO, THE 2012 FLAGBEARER OF NPP AND HIS COHORTS CAN PETITION PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AS THE FIRST RESPONDENT. WHY BECAUSE PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA DIDN'T DECLARE HIMSELF AS THE PRESIDENT. IT WAS RATHER THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION WHO IS MANDATED TO DO SO. SECONDLY, DR MAMUADU BAWUMIA AND JAKE OBETSEBI-LAMPTEY, SECOND AND THIRD PETITIONERS SHOULD NOT HAVE PETITIONED THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM WERE NOT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

NO ONE EXPECTED GHANAIAN VOTERS TO BE DISENFRANCHISED FOR THE SAKE OF CLERIC ERRORS, AND THE BIO-METRIC VERIFICATION WAS NOT THE ONLY CRITERIA TO MEASURE ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE. IT WAS STATED IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT PARTY AGENTS WILL BE PRESENT TO AUTHENTICATE VOTE COUNTS. THE FACT OF THE LACK OF RETURNING OFFICER’S SIGNATURE DOES NOT INVALIDATES THE VOTES COUNT. IF THESE SMALL ERRORS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT ASHANTI REGION, WOULD NPP USE THAT AS EVIDENCE?

GHANA’S 2012 ELECTION WAS INDICATED AS FREE AND FAIR BY ECOWAS AND AU OBSERVERS GROUP. ALSO PRESENT WERE OTHER INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL OBSERVERS GROUPS WHO MONITORED THE ELECTION AND GAVE THEIR THUMB UP. WHAT MORE COULD IT HAVE BEEN THAT NPP DELIBERATELY HELD THE COUNTRY AT RANSOM FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS?

LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO IS NOT THE ONLY LAWYER WHO UNDERSTANDS JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION. AFTER ALL THE VERDICT WAS NOT CODED AND ANYONE COULD READ AND UNDERSTAND. GHANAIAN FOLKS DO NOT NEED FURTHER INTERPRETATION FROM SAM OKUDZETO.

IF DANQUAH INSTITUTE GOES ON BREEDING SUCH BIAS SCHOLARS WHO WANT TO ROAM THEIR IDEOLOGIES DOWN OUR THROATS, THEY MIGHT FIGHT USELESS BATTLE BECAUSE MOST WISE GHANAIANS ARE NOT TRIBALISTIC AND CANNOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THEIR FOOLHARDY. IT WOULD BE RATHER SAD AND PITY TO HAVE YOUR CHILD IN THE CLASSROOM OF PEOPLE LIKE PROF FRIMPONG AND SAM OKUDZETO WHO WILL NOT IMPACT ANY GOOD KNOWLEDGE, BESIDES PEDDLING FALSEHOOD AND WRONG INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.

THE SUPREME COURT VERDICT COULDN'T BE OTHERWISE BECAUSE THESE LEARNED JUDGES WOULD NOT STOOP LOW FOR THE MERE FACT THAT NANA ADDO WANTS TO BE A PRESIDENT. THE DICE IS CAST AND NO AMOUNT OF REASONING CAN HAVE EFFECT OF THE VERDICT. COMMONSENSE SHOULD TEACH ALL THOSE WHO ARE MAKING HOLLOW AND USELESS STATEMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO TURN AND LOOK AT THE WAY PEOPLE VOTED THEIR PARLIAMENTARIANS. IN OUR ELECTION HISTORY, NO PRESIDENT HAS WON ELECTION WITH MINORITY IN PARLIAMENT. SECONDLY, NANA ADDO ONLY WON TWO REGIONS OUT OF THE TEN AND WHILE PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA DID BETTER IN HIS STRONGHOLD, HE ALSO BRIDGED THE GAP IN ASHANTI REGION. THEREFORE, IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT NANA ADDO LOST THE ELECTION OUTRIGHT BUT TRIED TO THROW DUST ON OUR EYES OR BURY HIS SHAME BY GOING TO COURT.

WHEN I LISTENED TO NANA ADDO ON BBC HARD-TALK, I WAS CONVINCED HE HAD NO MESSAGE FOR GHANAIANS AND THEREFORE NO WONDER THAT HE LOSTS. HIS “ALL-DIE-BE-DIE” AND "YEN AKANFO" MANTRA REALLY SUCKS AND ALSO INCITES TRIBALISM. AS IF NOT ENOUGH KENNEDY AGYAPONG WARMONGERING TO EXTERMINATE THE EWES AND GAS ETHNIC GROUPS IN GHANA’S SECOND BIGGEST CITY, KUMASI, WAS NOT ONLY UNFORTUNATE BUT ALSO UNDEMOCRATIC.
OUR SUPREME COURT JUDGES MUST BE HONOURED FOR THEIR BREVITY FOR NOT SUCCUMBING TO BIAS JUDGEMENT. THE FACT OF THE NINE JUDGES GIVEN THEIR INDEPENDENT INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW IS AN INDICATION THAT OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS ALIVE AND KICKING. PEOPLE WOULD HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IF THEY WERE DISENFRANCHISED BY THE MISTAKE OF A POLLING AGENT. IF OUR JUDGES HAVE LOWERED THEMSELVES FOR BIAS VERDICT IT WOULD HAVE PROMOTED FUTURE LEGAL CHALLENGES AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR COUNTLESS ELECTION LOSERS PETITION. NEVERTHELESS, IT DOES NOT ALSO MEAN PEOPLE CAN’T PETITION THE COURT WHEN THERE IS A PROOF OF RIGGING.
ONE FUNNY THING AMONG POLITICAL LEADERS IS THAT, WHEN THEY INCITE WARS AND DISTURBANCES IN THEIR COUNTRIES,AND WHEN THE SITUATION ESCALATES THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO RUN AWAY, LEAVING THE POOR PEOPLE TO FIGHT USELESS WARS. A TYPICAL EXAMPLE IS NANA ADDO, AFTER CONCEDING DEFEAT ANNOUNCED TO SEEK PRAYERS ABROAD TO THINK ABOUT HIS POLITICAL FUTURE. GOD IS EVERYWHERE AND NOT ONLY IN UK.

I DON’T THINK “ALL-DIE-BE-DIE” IS THE RIGHT WAY TO DIE AND GHANAIANS WILL NOT DIE ANYHOW WHEN THEIR GOD HAS NOT CALLED THEM.

This is a man who used to command so much respect in Ghana. Now look and listen to him. A man of such high standing in the legal profession, spewing out nonsensical garbage and making a fool of himself. Nine Supreme Court Judges heard both sides of the election petition in an open court that was even telecast across the globe. Their Lordships considered both sides of the case and decided unanimously to throw out the case.
Mr Okujeto now says he found, by his own analysis, in 5-4 in favour of the petitioners. I used to think that lawyers were supposed to uphold the intergrity of the profession by respecting the ruling of their fellow lawyers. By saying what he did, Mr Okujeto has behaved in a typical NPP fashion by publically denouncing the ruling of the highest court of the land. This is disgraceful, to say the least and he deserves any words of criticism or abuse that comes his way.

This man, Okudzeto, may be sick and needs a professional assessment of his psychic structure in order to cure any malady that may have been the cause of the distortion of his present disposition. A well-rounded lawyer would surely not put up this appalling conduct. No wonder many Ghanaian lawyers have been - and are being - ridiculed elsewhere. How do such people qualify to be lawyers?

A crusty old Okada biker walks into a bar to have a ice cold beer after a hot, dusty ride. Down at the end of the bar, he spies a mighty fine looking chick in a sailor suit. She heads his way, smiles and asks if he's looking for a good time. Realizing she was a Prostitute and since it had been quite some time since his last romp in the hay, he started up negotiations.

After agreeing on a price, she escorts him to her bed room and they start going at it. After about 20 minutes of humping & jumping the old Okada biker looks her in the eyes and asks:

"So babe, how am I doing'?"

She replies: "You're doing' about 3 "knots".

"3 knots?.... What's that mean?" replies the biker.

She said: "You're NOT hard, you're NOT in and you're NOT getting your money back!"

Why is everyone saying that Justice Atuguba got it wrong as if the final say on the Petition rested with him? Was the Presideing Justice not reading what had been agreed upon by all the 9 Justices? Was the Presiding judge all-powerful that he was given sole role of concluding what the Justices had discussed or agreed on or not?

My second point is that although there were 5 Justices out of the 9 who wanted a re-run of some sort, the said justices split the votes on all 3 of the 6 reliefs, thus not commanding a majority of 5 on any of the 3 reliefs that were not unanimously summarily dismissed. In effect, none of the other 3 "competitive" reliefs garnered the 5 votes required to give it the force of law. So if there was to be a re-run of any sort, under what relief could that be done? I pressume that the Justices could not agree to order any re-run because of this simple fact. All that I have said is based solely on the fact that the Supreme Court determined the case by looking at the 6 relief sought individually. In that case, the 6 petitions lost by 6-o, since none of the 6 reliefs sought obtained 5-4 majority required for any of them to succeed. I am yet to be convinced otherwise.

Only the fools our land think that Okudzeto has said something bad. It is only the thieves and the armed robbers who think this noble thinking is ill timing. After all we all watched the case as it was being litigated. We all made our individual opinions before the most foolish man on earth made his pronouncements. And you know what's funny? After reading the verdict wrongly, he admitted his folly and then told the courts to reverse what he has done. By that time, he himself was out of the country. If you did it well you wouldn't frown your face like a milking bull, Atuguba, idiot. God will punish this man before the year ends, just mark my words. And again you know why people from all walks of life are bowing down to Nana Addo, ushering him words of praises and sympathizing with him? Even God has honored him already. And to jon Mahama, he has already been cursed. He can never be a president. If he thinks he is a president, then he must think again. He is only a fool and an idiot that is who he is. Okudzeto made a very wise analysis, only fools disagree with him. Otherwise they are all the NDC aremed robbers trying to support the big thief jon Gyeeda,Sada,Woyome, Isofoton,Watervill, mahama.

Ghana lacks thinking people. The man is absolutely correct!! The Supreme Court set out to prove to issues and the verdict did not talk about the two issues the Court set out to prove.

It is a simply LOGIC and LOGIC is not thought in Ghanaian Schools.

If A=B, and B=C, prove that A=C?

The conclusion pronounced by the Court had nothing to do with the premise of the Case the Court set out to prove.

The verdict is a miscarriage of justice.

We have created a nation of unthinking citizenry and without thinking ability, people are sentimental and debate with insults to overshadow their ignorance.

This is fascinating reading. Is this man, Sowu, saying when a person is old that person has to hide the truth and decide to lie or keep mute? This is really telling how some politicians such as Mr. Sowu in are Ghana. They will always hide and cover the truth in the interest of political parties instead of the country as a whole.

And this guy Sowu is said to be a retired military captain, yet scared of telling the truth as it should be. A CAPTAIN??????

And listen to him, “If you say the right thing at the wrong time, it is wrong."

The truth can take a 100 years to come, it is still the truth "Captain" Scary and Fearful Sowu. If someone don't tell the truth as it is, how can we as a nation learn at all, Disgrace Captain?????????

Sowu, you are a VERY BIG FOOL!!!! The fact that the petitioner accepted the verdict does not mean commentators can't say nothing about it. Do you make such stupid comments when Asiedu Nkatia gets up and make his UNCULTURED and ILLITERATE comments???????

Ghana, our beloved country, really has a long way to go with such "STOMACH" politicians and leaders,

Mr. Sam Okudzeto has suddenly turned himself into a Judge and has given a dicey judgment.

He claims;

“What happened to the other two? This is where the issue becomes dicey,” he noted.

If the issue is dicey, then why give a judgment, otherwise, you give a dicey judgment and nobody is prepared for a dicey judgment. We want a simple and clear judgment but not a dicey one.

And that is why the Okudjetos, and the Gabbys, must note that their manner of analysis of the case is wrong and warped in logic.

Okudjeto said it was a dicey way of determining the case and no Ghanaian is prepared to go the dicey way with him and his cohorts.

In Atubga's judgment, there was nothing dicey. He just went straight to deliver and it should not take any intellectual to come back and decide. Everybody in the court understood it.

The issue is that it does not become dicey if you apply the issues to be determined to each category of error. It only becomes dicey if you apply it in the convuluted manner in which the Gabbys and Okudjetos are applying it.

Dont dicey Ghanaians when you are not prepared to be diced

Ghanaians needed a simple straight forward judgment but not a dicey judgment, otherwise, we will be fighting ourselves now because we lacked understanding of an okudjeto dicey judgment.

We needed a simple peaceful judgment but not dicey confrontational judgment.

Spoken words are major causes of wars and civil strife. Given the tension generated by the election petition, is it the best for us to keep stoking the fires through debate or analysis in the name of academic exercise?

THAT LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO WHO WAS MY LECTURER AT THE GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW AND LECTURED ME IN "ADVOCACY AND LEGAL ETHICS" SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN WHAT HE HAS NOW RESORTED UNDERTAKING TO PURPORT TO OVER-TURN THE SUPREME COURT DECISION OF THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS PETITION.
THAT EVERY REASONABLE LAWYER CAN ANALYZE THE DECISION OF THE COURT AND TO ALSO HAVE YOUR OWN VIEW PERSPECTIVE OF THE DECISION BUT TO PURPORT WITHOUT THE COURT DECISION TO PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED YOUR OWN CONCEITED PURPORTED DECISION TO SUIT YOUR OWN "WHIMS AND CAPRICES" IS NOT ONLY SERIOUS BUT ALSO A VERY SERIOUS SUBTLE ATTEMPT TO CAUSE CONFUSION.
IT IS AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I AM RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTING TO LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO TO REVISIT YOUR OWN PURPORTED ACTION AND TO VERY SINCERE AND HONEST TO YOURSELF AND ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHO IS THEREFORE IGNORANT?
THAT I ATTENDED UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, NOW KNUST, I ALSO ATTENDED GHANA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW ALL IN GHANA AND WHAT SCHOOL OF LAW AND OTHER UNIVERSITY AND HIGHER INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO ATTENDED?
THAT I WOULD AT THIS JUNCTURE JUST TO CONCENTRATE ON SCHOOLS IN GHANA AND LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO MY FORMER LECTURER AT GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW TO ALSO COME OUT AND SET THE RECORDS STRAIGHT AND MENTIONED HIS SCHOOLS ATTENDED.
THAT AS I RESPECTED LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO BUT HE IS NEVER SHOWING ANY RESPECT TO GHANA HIGHEST COURT OF THE LAND, THE SUPREME COURT OF GHANA AND H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND THE NDC GOVERNMENT AND HOLDING YOURSELF ABOVE THEM THEN YOU MUST NOW TALK.
IS IT BECAUSE OF THE CLADESTINE ACTIVITIES YOU PERPETRATED AGAINST SOME OF US INCLUDING MYSELF GHANAIANS RESIDENT OVERSEAS DURING THE TIME HON.NANA AKUFO ADDO WAS GHANA MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES/LIFES OF 44 GHANAIANS IN GAMBIA, THAT MYSELF PERSONAL PROPERTY STOLEN, MY THEN WIFE ALICE NAVI AMEKUDZI AND MY INFANT BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER KEKELI AMA AMEKUDZI WERE KIDNAPPED BY ONE JEFFLEAN NTOW AND OTHERS ON JANUARY 25, 2007 WHEN I WENT TO VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT TO FILE A LAWSUITS.
THAT THE $10 MILLION GIVEN TO ME THROUGH GHANA DURING H.E.MR.FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH GOVERNMENT WHEN HON.NANA AKUFO ADDO WAS GHANA MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WHEN GHANA WAS GIVEN THE $547 MILLION FOR POVERTY REDUCTIONS.
THAT MY LETTERS, E-MAILS AND CREDITS CARDS WERE ALL STOLEN INCLUDING MY BANKS ACCOUNTS.
THAT WHO WERE THE PERSONS WHO WERE SPONSORED THROUGH LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO CLADESTINE ACTIVITIES NETWORKS TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WITH SOME SPECIAL CALLING CARDS AND PERPETRATED ATROCITIES AGAINST SOME OF US IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA USING CITY AND SOME STATE POLICE AGAINST SOME OF US WHEN HON.NANA AKUFO ADDO WAS GHANA FOREIGN MINISTER?
IN FACT, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO REVEAL THESE RELATED HARD TRUTHS BECAUSE OF THE PURPORTED SCANDAL LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE USED.
THAT THE PETITIONERS HAVE ACCEPTED THE DECISION OF THE COURT AND INFORMED THE WHOLE WORLD OF THAT DECISION THEREFORE, THE PURPORTED TWIST OF EVENTS REVEALED AGAIN OF THE "GRAND HYPOCRICY OF NPP AND THOSE SELF SEEKERS NOT SEEKING THE NATIONAL BEST INTEREST OF GHANA AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
THAT LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO TO RISE ABOVE THE NPP BICKERING AND HYPOCRICY PERHAPS THEIR PURPORTED AGENDA AFTER LOSING BOTH THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND THE SUPREME COURT CASE THAT THEIR PURPORTED HIDDEN AGENDA FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HAS ALSO BEEN EXPOSED THEREFORE, THEIR PURPORTED NEW HYPOCRICY INFERIOR TACTICS.
IT IS THEREFORE MY HUMBLE SUBMISSION THAT LAWYER SAM OKUDZETO TO REFLECT SOBERLY AND TO TAKE EVERY NECESSARY ACTION TO RESPECT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION AND THE LORD JUSTICES AND GOVERNMENT OF GHANA AND TO PURPORT TO DO CONTRARY WOULD BE SHARE AND MERE CHAUVINIST IGNORANCE.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

Critics of my SC verdict analysis are “ignorant” – Okudzeto

Lawyer Sam Okudzeto New
A former President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Mr. Sam Okudzeto, has described those criticising his analysis of the Supreme Court verdict on the election petition trial, as “ignorant” people.

“…If anybody is [picking] a fight with me, it is because the person is ignorant and I think we Ghanaians should learn now to begin to learn, instead of using sentiments. Sentiments don’t help anybody” he told Radio XYZ’s news magazine programme STRICT PROOF on Friday.

Mr. Okudzeto, in an interview with XYZ News on Thursday September 26, 2013, accused the presiding judge of the nine-member Supreme Court panel that heard the case, Justice William Atuguba, of “misreading" the judgment of his other colleague Justices.

According to Sam Okudzeto, his own analysis of the 588 pages of the judgment shows the decision went 5-4 in favour of the petitioners.

He, therefore, wondered why the Court ruled in favour of the respondents and validated President John Mahama’s election.

Mr. Okudzeto said he believes the Presiding Judge, Justice William Atuguba, gave a “wrong” analysis of the judgment.

Retired Military Captain, Joel Sowu, his harshest critic, described Mr. Okudzeto’s analysis as wrongly-timed and imprudent.

According to Captain Sowu, “…with his age, I thought that prudence should have played a part for him to decide whether to say what he’s saying at this point in time or not”.

“If you say the right thing at the wrong time, it is wrong; if you say the wrong thing at the right time; it is wrong and I think the timing is completely overboard and it is uncalled for and it must be condemned by right thinking people who want peace in this country”, he stressed.

He wondered why Mr. Okudzeto made those comments despite the fact that: “The petitioner himself has said ‘I will abide by the thing’”.

“…So who are you now to start critiquing and rubbishing the judgment of the Supreme Court?”

“…We are all saying that the word ‘Supreme’ means ‘something or nothing’, and he, as a former President of the Bar Association, seriously, I’m disappointed in him”, he thundered exasperatingly.

Mr. Okudzeto however retorted that: “That is the level of their ignorance; that because the Supreme Court has pronounced judgment therefore, we as academicians should not analyze it?”

“If they are doing that then they are ignorant and this is what they need to be educated upon…I was doing a critique of the judgment; I’m entitled to do; in fact which I’m obligated to do. They should learn now and begin to learn because it is the sentiment that creates the tension in the country. It is not the analysis”.

Comment to:
Critics of my SC verdict analysis are “ignorant

This is the same man who was at a peace rally calling for peace before the 29th August verdict. So what peace was he really calling for?

What makes him think he is right and the panel of justices are wrong? Why can Okudjeto not simply accept that his is a false, outrageous and quite frankly divisive analysis and conclusion which if anything only serves to negate the very peace he claimed to be calling for. In other words, it makes him a hypocrite and that is unstatesmanlike!!!

Truly, This man SAM oKUDJETO is a threat to peace and security in Ghana. HE IS LOSING HIS HEAD.This is the same man who openly criticized Tsatsu for stating the facts and bear truths about Annin Yeboah and called upon the GBA to take action against Tsatsu. What has changed with same man critizing Atuguba.

What makes him think he is right and others especially the panel of judges wrong? Why can Okudjeto simply accept that his is a false, outrageous and quite frankly divisive analysis and conclusion which if anything only serves to negate the very peace he claimed to be calling for. In other words, it makes him a hypocrite and that is good for his age and calibre.
