The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua, has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of employing what he described as a "court of public trial" strategy following the arrest of former Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD) Executive Secretary Dennis Edward Aboagye, popularly known as 'Miracles'.

Speaking in an interaction with the media, he alleged that the NDC's approach was aimed at shaping public perception before any judicial process.

He warned that the NDC should be cautious, as the NPP would be restored to power via the 2028 general elections, after which they would have a taste of the current unfair processes they are subjecting members of the opposition to.

"And like I said, power is transcient. Remember that power is transcient. After December 7, 2028, we'll ask them to prepare their own charge sheet, and bring it to us. If that's how we want to go. Anyone can just put [up] any frivolous charge sheet," Kodua said.

He continued: "And when you read the content of the letter, you'd just laugh. That this is a shame to our democracy. How do you relate the issue of a different person to Miracles Aboagye? And you see, it is part of the strategy of the NDC - the court of public trial."

According to him, the strategy is underpinned by throwing "things outside for people to think he has committed a crime. That's been their modus operandi. That has been their style."

He maintained there was no "correlation" between Gerald Appiah and Miracles Aboagye to justify their co-arrest and interrogation.

The NPP General Secretary argued that if Miracles Aboagye had genuinely committed an offence, "the best approach is to arraign him before a court of competent jurisdiction, not this kind of Rambo-style, archaic behaviour. We've passed that as a country, and like I said power is transcient. Remember that power is transcient."
