Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has intensified his criticism of the Ahwoi family in a recent epistle, suggesting that they are aiming to establish permanent control over the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In the document titled "The NDC Sups With The Devil At The Church Street Offices Of The Ahwois And Their Cohort – John Mahama’s Running Mate Saga," Amidu highlighted the late Jerry John Rawlings' reservations about the family.

While Amidu did not elaborate on Rawlings' concerns, he indicated that the NDC's founder had his own apprehensions regarding the Ahwois.

“I was one of a chosen few who had lunch with former President Jerry John Rawlings days before his hospitalization and never to return to our fold. I am, therefore, privy to what he thought of the Ahwois and their cohort on 28 October 2020 before his demise,” he stated.

Martin Amidu, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General, revealed that a discussion he had with Jerry John Rawlings shortly before Rawlings' death influenced his later statement.

Three years after Rawlings' passing, Amidu expressed in a tribute that the Ahwoi family was attempting to erase Rawlings' name from the history of the NDC, even posthumously.

“It explains my statement in my tribute to him on the third anniversary of his demise on 12 November 2023, ten days to Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang’s 72 birthday that:

“The traitors who used their acquaintance and friendship with you while you lived to project and create political acceptance amongst your followers are still planning to obliterate your name in the NDC you founded and still remain the founder. The takeover plot of the NDC by the traitors has intensified using surrogates after your journey to our ancestors. While we live, we shall continue to fight to bear the torch you lit to emancipate Ghana and Africa,” he added.

Martin Amidu alleged in his epistle that the Ahwoi family might have privileged information about the health of John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, compared to others.

He cited an instance where Kwesi Ahwoi commented, "prepare to be president because anything can happen," to Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the party’s 2024 running mate, implying inside knowledge.

Amidu suggested that Prof Naana's selection was orchestrated by the Ahwoi family to further their control over the NDC, as she is seen as a 'surrogate' of the family.
