Audio: COCOBOD CEO Fires A Salvo At NDC’s Ofosu Ampofo

Former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Elder Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has incurred the wrath of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Joseph Boahen Aidoo.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo believes that Mr Aidoo has failed in delivering on his mandate and President Akufo-Addo should have sacked him by now.

The former NDC Chairman stated that Ghana’s cocoa industry has been a failure under Mr. Aidoo’s leadership.

“This is nothing personal but he has failed and should have been sacked. I don’t know the key performance indicators (KPIs) that he was given or how they are assessed but it was this government that set up a monitoring and evaluation ministry and they should have effectively monitored what CEOs were doing”, he said

But in a rebuttal on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Mr. Aidoo fired a salvo at the former NDC Chairman.

He said Mr. Ofosu Ampofo is still reeling from his defeat by Johnson Asiedu Nketia in the NDC’s 2022 internal elections hence the call for his sack.

“Are you the one to advise Akufo-Addo? I leave you to Asiedu Nketia. He beat you in your own contest, and you’re still dazed from it.

“I thought he was going to take care of himself when he traveled, but it seems he is still feeling dazed from Asiedu Nketia’s defeat. Is he the one to advise the President to sack me?” a livid COCOBOD CEO quizzed.

This notwithstanding, Mr. Aidoo reiterated his confidence in his achievements at COCOBOD, dismissing Mr. Ofosu Ampofo’s remarks as unfounded and politically motivated.
