Despite the UK’s Serious Fraud Office clarifying that Mahama’s brother and others involved had no case to answer, the ruling government persisted in framing this scandal as a tool for political advantage.
We also note the OSP's revelation that President Nana Akufo-Addo personally requested that President Mahama be investigated. This casts an even darker shadow on the motives behind the initial accusations, which were planted to tarnish the reputation of an innocent man.
The lies and fabricated stories against President Mahama over the last eight years have been consistently proven false.
President Mahama has always made himself available for any investigation. He has consistently stated that he has nothing to hide and has been ready to cooperate fully with any inquiry.
In this spirit, we extend the same challenge to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to subject themselves to equal scrutiny and transparency as we strive for accountability in our leadership.
Mahama remains committed to Ghana's progress and the fight against corruption in all its forms.
He will continue to advocate for a better Ghana for all and will not be deterred by fabrications or machinations by political opponents.
