Disregard reports Mahama shared money - Campaign team

The campaign team of the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has denied media reports suggesting he shared money to his supporters on Monday, September 28, 2020, when he resumed his tour of the Bono Region.

A statement signed by James Agyenim-Boateng, the spokesperson of the Mahama 2020 campaign team described the reports as "untrue and completely borne out of the desperate and fertile imaginations of the authors".

Instead, the statement said Mr Mahama only shared 'John Mahama 2020 branded nose masks'.

The statement further urged the public to disregard the attempt to turn Mr Mahama's act of kindness into a weapon against his campaign.

"The said reports are untrue and completely borne out of the desperate and fertile imaginations of the author(s). For the records, and as it has become typical of Mr Mahama on his tour of the regions, he shares JOHN MAHAMA 2020 branded nose masks to people and occasionally talks about how to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease. This morning was no exception when Mr Mahama shared several hundreds of his campaign's branded nose masks, aprons and T- shirts," the statement said.

"The general public is therefore entreated to disregard the piece of fake news and lazy journalism, which unsuccessfully attempts to turn Mr Mahama's act of kindness into a weapon against his campaign".
