The spokesperson for the second respondent at the 2020 election petition hearing at the Supreme Court, Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye has said the lead counsel for John Mahama, Tsatsu Tsikata is destroying the petition.
Speaking on Accra-based Okay FM, Nana B stated that, if he was the former president, John Dramani Mahama, he would have sacked Tsatsu Tsikata long ago because the ace legal practitioner is not helping matters at the Supreme Court.[ads2]
“I have said that if I were former President Mahama and Tsatsu was my lawyer, I would have fired him a long time, because the same judges presiding over your petition, you are always fighting them . . . it is their case but if it were to be me, I would have fired him; he is destroying the case for John Mahama,” he opined.[ads3]
Nana B, however, entreated Mr Tsatsu Tsikata to be mindful of his actions at the Supreme Court since the judges also have descretional powers to pass judgment over any case per their understanding of what is before them.
He opined that judges are lords over every case and had to be given the needed respect but not to be arrogant towards them.[ads4]
“If the judges are the lords over your case and you are showing arrogant posture because you are the don and probably older and more knowledgeable in the law than the judges on the case, then it is up to John Mahama and the NDC to keep him as their lead Counsel. I would have fired him if I were Mahama,” he posited..[ads5]
