Former President John Dramani Mahama, has rejected claims that he is the fourth richest person in Ghana.
Some publications in the past days alleged that Mr. Mahama was worth $900 million, making him one of the top richest Ghanaian.
Such claim according to Mr. Mahama in a statement signed by his Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, is false and baseless.
“We wish to state categorically that the publications are entirely false and baseless. Mr Mahama vehemently denies the claims which he considers yet another attempt to discredit his reputation, cause disaffection for him, and undermine his leadership of selfless service.”
Mr, Mahama however, allegedly fingered the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as the brain behind such publications to destroy the confidence Ghanaians have in him.
“It is obvious that this publication is part of a deliberate and discredited strategy by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to spread lies and seek to generate public disaffection for the leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) – a man in whom many Ghanaians have expressed their confidence and are looking forward to his visionary leadership from January 7, 2024,”
The public are meanwhile urged to disregard any publications and rather focus on holding the NPP accountable.
‘We encourage the public to focus on holding the non-performing NPP government accountable for its gross mismanagement of the economy and dissipation of state resources.
“President Mahama remains committed to an issue-based campaign that seeks to salvage our country from the incompetent, inept and terrible administration of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia.”
