Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Apkaloo has issued an unqualified apology to renowned lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata.
This apology follows a damning allegation he made against Tsatsu Tsikata on why he (Tsikata) remained a loyalist to former President John Dramani Mahama.
Kofi Akpaloo on November 19, 2024 during an interview on GHOne alleged that Tsatsu Tsikata’s endorsement of John Mahama stemmed from personal benefits he received under the former President.
Kofi Akpaloo claimed Tsatsu Tsikata was “getting contracts under Mahama” and enjoying “the best deals”, hence, his interest in getting Mahama to return to power for him to enjoy such benefits again.
After his comments, Tsatsu Tsikata sued Kofi Akpaloo at the Accra High Court.
Tsatsu Tsikata in his suit filed by Tony Lithur of Lithur Brew and Company seeks compensation from Kofi Akpaloo for destroying the plaintiff’s hard-earned reputation.
The lawsuit emphasized that the comments paint Mr. Tsikata as a self-serving individual whose views are influenced by personal gain, undermining his credibility as a public figure.
In an interview, Kofi Akpaloo disclosed that the lawyer is one of his father’s cousins “and I will never disrespect him. I will never do anything to disrespect him. I will like to say I am very sorry if any of my utterances have offended him. It was not deliberate and I would never do such a thing to him.”
