The lead counsel for the petitioners in the 2012 presidential election results challenge says he bears no grudges against Tsatsu Tsikata – lead Counsel for the governing NDC in the case.
There was no love lost, in Court, between the two Mfantsipim old boys who found themselves on opposing sides of the landmark case.
The Law Teacher–Law Student duo (Tsatsu taught Addison law at the Ghana school of Law), occasionally exchanged salvos in intermittent spats, which punctuated the 4-month-long legal battle.
The storm of emotions that swirled around their arguments and exchanges in court added some drama to the live hearing of the case.
Addison, who came across as a hard-faced never-smiling lawyer, who was intent on going for the jugular of the Respondents’ counsel during his onslaught in Court, said Thursday that despite the heated exchanges he had with Tsikata during the hearing, he bore him no grudges.
He told private FM station, Joy, that he would not mind sitting at the same table and sharing a drink with Tsikata.
Friday August 29, 2014 (Today) marks exactly one year since Ghana’s highest Court dismissed the petition and upheld the electoral victory of President John Mahama.
