New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Awal Mohammed has praised lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata’s recent honorific lecture at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), but said he was disappointed that the former GNPC boss did not fully discuss Nana Akufo-Addo’s role in a landmark legal case.

Awal said he regularly listens to biographies and interviews of successful personalities to learn about their journeys, challenges and experiences.

He said Tsikata’s lecture, which he watched on the GBC Ghana YouTube channel, gave him insight into the lawyer’s upbringing, education and relationships with notable figures.

“I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the first 30 minutes,” Awal wrote on Facebook.

He highlighted details Tsikata shared about his connections with prominent personalities, including former Chief Justice Justice Apaloo, William Ofori-Atta, Dr Obed Asamoah and former Attorney General Joe Reindorf.

According to Awal, he was particularly interested in Tsikata’s account of the legal battle involving William Ofori-Atta during the Acheampong regime, where Tsikata served as junior counsel to Joe Reindorf.

However, he said he expected Tsikata to provide more details about the later legal contest in the Amoako Tuffour v. Attorney-General case, where Tsikata and Akufo-Addo were part of the legal team on opposing sides.
