Kofi Akpaloo, the Liberal Party of Ghana’s (LPG) presidential candidate, is being sued for defamation at the High Court in Accra by Tsatsu Tsikata, a private attorney and former CEO of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
He became the second defendant in the lawsuit against GHOne Television’s owner, Excellence In Broadcasting (EIB) Network, for permitting Mr. Akpaloo to use its network to make untrue allegations against him (plaintiff).
The plaintiff stated in his statement of claim that Mr. Akpaloo, the first defendant, stated in an interview on GHOne on November 19, 2024, as part of his presidential campaign, that Mr. Tsikata stated that the country was doing better under President Mahama than it is now because “he was getting contracts under Mahama” and “he was getting the best deals.”
According to the plaintiff, Mr. Akpaloo further intimated or stated that “those who were getting the goodies” would be the ones to say what Mr. Tsikata had said about President Mahama.
