Mahama’s attempt to tag Nana Addo in bribery claims worrying – Oppong Nkrumah

The Ministry of Information has stated that the video purportedly released by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) alleging that President Nana Akufo-Addo has collected bribe is fake.

The Information Ministry made this known in a press statement dated December 2, 2020.

The statement said Government has taken note of a “desperate attempt by the campaign of John Mahama to falsely accuse the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, of bribery.”

The statement said Government was not disappointed that Mr Mahama and the current NDC leadership will step so low with obvious fabrications which they hope can change the minds of Ghanaians, saying “it is and will always be their stock-in-trade.”

“Characteristic of the NDC’s reliance on waging a campaign of lies, fake news and fabrications, the opposition candidate and his party have now sponsored the doctrine of this video and superimposed it with new voices to create the false impression that it is a post-2016 event showing the President receiving a bribe”, portions of the statement read.

It added, “President Akufo-Addo has never been involved in any untoward conduct, let alone take a bribe. The original footage of the incident shows it dearly as a 2016 campaign donation and nothing more”
