Atuguba, please do not act as if someone who has not been a judge. The NDC may challenge the EC in a court of law. Please advise the NDC to go to court.

Extreme form of Napoleonistic dictatorship. Hence NPP's EC officials must be careful not to set Ghana ablaze.

Maame Abenah, madness or stupidity? Justice Atuguba is a scholar, unlike your Akuffo Addo who lied to Ghanaians that he is a lawyer. EC teamed up with the ruling party (NPP) to rig the election. EC should know that attempting to rig the coming election for NPP, as it happened in 2020 election would only accelerate civil war in Ghana.

Abass Apuuu. Scholar and the name Atuguba don’t go together. Atuguba must be ashamed of himself. He’s the first judge in history to interpret “SHALL” a mandatory word in the constitution to mean “MAY”. Does he think we have short memories as stupidly recited by Mahama? We haven’t forgotten his disgraceful and illiterate judgement. His sad and jaundiced interventions during the 2013 election petition is fresh in the minds of intelligent Ghanaians. A JUDGE WORTH HIS SALT WILL NOT SOEAK SO FOOLISHLY. IF HE IS BEHAVING LIKE AN NDC FOOT SOLDIER THEN HE WILL CERTAINLY BE TREATED AS SUCH. ONLY IGNORANT, UNCOUTH, NO CERTIFICATE AND IDIOTS LIKE ABASS WILL SEE ATUGUBA AS A SCHOLAR. APUUUU. NDC DE3 GYIMIE NE NKWASEASEM NKOAAAAAAAAA

Atuguba, a scholar? We all saw how he was struggling to put words together during the 2012 election petition. "Well I don't know" that is what I was always hearing from him. Tweeaa.

Coming from Atuguba?.Ash,. can this be news?
He wasn't dictatorial when he was jailing people during the election petition in 2013.
These are some of the elderly people in our society who are making our growth and development difficult.
Will he,as a former Supreme Court Justice,ust on mere allegation accept that someone is dead?
Proof of that must be provided. Has he seen any such proof from the NDC so far?
They should publish details of all they are alleging for every interested Ghanaian to see. For instance if they say someone is dead, they should publish the region, constituency, polling station,etc. It's only after detailing all that they claim to have found and the EC is unable to explain that you call for a forensic audit.
As s it stands now, my Lord, there's no basis for any forensic audit.
But don't what they are doing look funny to you?
The register is faulty,. you don't trust the EC and yet when they called for balloting for places on the ballot sheet, you were there,and started the usual thing.
Balls are used for a first round of voting, balls which were examined by all the participants,with the NDC represented by no mean a person than their General Secretary and the Director of elections and IT,then they raise issue with one of the balls because the NPP picked number 1.
And even after the process, it's all over that the NPP swapped it's number 5 with Akpaloo's number 1.
Can you imagine?
So,my Lord, they have no case.

Atuguba's opinions do not carry much weight because he is and has always been a supporter of the party of Ayigbes and Northerners. He it was, who as the Presiding Justice, cast the vote to give "victory" to his fellow northerner John Mahama at the Supreme Court, in 2012, when the Justices were tied 3:3. He has just emerged from under a rock to advance the cause of his party. But really what political clout does a retired Supreme Court Judge have?

His Lordship we know you too well to expect any other position from you on a matter involving the NDC. If you had allowed good counsel to guide you, you would have saved yourself this Embarrassment Chapter 2. You, talking of dictatorship? Where in all those big, big laws you were quoting is the suggestion that the EC, cedes it's function to an independent body. I don't have the least knowledge of the law, but the Justice V.C.R.C Crabbe Commission and it's purpose guide me. Honestly, we didn't find you helpful the other time and I don't think you do so now.

When did justice Atuguba wake up from his deep slumber, all this while is he now realising the mess he left behind as a former CJ. His judgement of 5/4 verdict that gave former president Mahama the mandate to rule the country was not flawed. For a former CJ to use abusive words like stooges shows how biased he can be. Why is it the case of Ndc who should always be listened to or is it because the can threaten to always have their way, so we should kowtow to their baseless demands. Respect yourself as a former JSC, for Ghanaians to respect you. You have just shown your bias towards your useless Ndc.

Speak law nit politics. Please quote the law that allows an interested political to order an independent electoral commission to request for a forensic audit of its register. I thought that you would be bold enough to advise that matter should go to the Supreme Court where the legiticay of the request for a "forensic" audit will be argued and determined on the basis of evidence and law. Too many elderly and highly experienced retired judges are happy to parrot political agenda's at the cost of their statesmanship.

It's not very good talking back to the elderly especially one who had occupied a very high position in one of the arms of governance. But contribution on national issues leaved much to be desired. As a retired supreme Court judge, Justice Atuguba saw nothing wrong with a statement from the Paramount Chief of Dormaa who doubles as a high court judge, speaking against a decision of the supreme Court on the MP for Assin North. Justice Atuguba was against the transfer of Dormaa Paramount Chief from Tema to the Oti Region. Was Justice Atuguba not in Ghana and on the Bench when the NPP made similar request for an audit of the Voter Register but then EC in 2014 refused? So to Justice Atuguba your comments are being partisan instead of being a statement.

Look at this Atuguba man spewing out garbage. As the Presiding Justice in the 2012/2013 elections challenge case, he refused to order the EC to produce all the pink sheets that would have exposed the EC and its declaration that JDM had won. But today, this man is here condemning the EC. It's this attitude of our higher ups that's not making Ghana progress. He dubiously ruled that JDM was validly elected. He's just as dubious as that DRUNKARD.

If any EC ALLOW ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP to review every case how would it possible for them to do their work for the citizens? Shall we challenge EC because they did not review the election results be cancelled?
