Former Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama’s office has refuted reports that he is the fourth wealthiest person in the country and has a net worth of almost $900 million.
“We wish to state categorically that the publications are entirely false and baseless,” an official statement from the Office on Saturday, August 26, strongly issued the rebuttal.
“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,” the statement signed by Mr Mahama’s Special Aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, said.
It pointed accusing fingers at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as behind the false publication.
“These malicious false publications from obvious political opponents will be expected as Ghana approaches the 2024 general elections, an election John Mahama will win.
“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 flag bearer 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 07, 2025.”
Madam Bawa Mogtari urged Ghanaians to disregard the publication and any similar ones in the future.
“Instead, 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.”
