The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) is threatening to sue the New Patriotic over the Bugri Naabu bribery allegation against President Mahama and his brother Ibrahim.
The NPP on Tuesday claimed President Mahama bribed its northern regional Chairman, Bugri Naabu to engage in a smear campaign targeted at the NPP’s presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo.
But speaking to Winston Amoah, host of 3FM Sunrise Show, spokesperson of the NDC 2016 campaign team, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, discredited the NPP’s claims as mere propaganda to tarnish the works of President Mahama who is seeking re-election.
“We are treating it with the contempt that it deserves. These are lies and fabrications calculated to cause disaffection and generate apathy. “This is an opponent who is talking to divert attention from president Mahama’s eminent victory come December 7.
“What it deserves is to go straight to court to put them to strict proof. I’m telling you going to court is the best solution; and there is even more so we are open to all strategies in terms of dealing with it,” she Winston Amoah.
But political consultant, Ama Darkuu warns that if not handled properly the latest accusations against the NDC’s candidate can affect voter perception and subsequently the fortunes of the NDC.
“It may affect people’s perception but the NDC has come back to say it’s not true, but we still have a lot to know about the issue. It is very close and there are a lot of people who may not have made up their minds about who to vote for. It is very close to the elections and any news has the potential of affecting voting pattern”.
Spokesperson of Nana Akufo-Addo, Mustapha Hamid, yesterday alleged that the NPP Northern regional chairman, Bugri Naabu was offered a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser and GHC500, 000 cash and three million Ghana Cedis that would be added later to induce him to abandon his party and paint the NPP flagbearer, as a dictator, divisive, and an anti-northerner.

This is case has changed my love for Mahama. If he doesn't come clean of this case, I will vote against him. A president must not do this. It is very bad of him.
The same car the president give it to Akua Donkor please whats going on Mr president let me ask you one question Ghana is your company did you gonna ran it like this is too sad i dont think you love Ghana please wake up is a disgrace to the whole country
Mahama has polluted Ghana with corruption. It is too bad and sad. It is strongly believed that he paid heavily for some at EC to rig 2012 elections and when the election was challenged he had to influence judges with money. It is held that he involved some Chiefs to achieve this. To cover and expand his corrupt deeds, he pays to influence Pastors, Journalist, MPs, Pollsters, Opposition Politicians. He buys his way through everywhere. He has succeeded in doing this so he thinks he can bribe everyone in Ghana. Thank God we still have good, sincere and God fearing people in the country who are not corrupted and cannot be bribed by Mahama. He is not ashamed of anything and takes Ghanaians to be too cheap with shallow minds. In spite of Wayomie corruption which is still pending in court he has given another contract of Ghana government to him to tell all in Ghana that he does not care about what we think and say about his corruption. He dashes money everywhere in his campaign to get endorsed by chiefs, journalists, artists and all. He believes that JJ and Ghanaians are baloney. We can talk and talk but can take no action. Fellow Ghanaians let us show love for our nation, conscience for justice, pride for our dignity and take the opportunity of elections to punish people who abuse the natural principle of fair play, equal justice and reward for sincere hard work. It will be an expensive negligence if we fail to use the ballot box to get rid of corrupt politicians. Nobody would forgive us for such a grave mistake. Let us use our God given brains to make a choice that can set our nation free again.
The corruption aside, the tribal politics of the NDC as a party, and John Mahama in this case, is very disturbing. They have made tribal politics a political strategy. Ghanaians succeeded - from Nkrumah until the start of the 4th Republic - to stay together. The NDC party comes, without a message, and decides its idealogy would be tribal politics. They're destroying what our fathers have tried to build out of what used to be a very volatile nation-state. Their creed became "them vrs us" and their philosophy make political capital out of a divided nation. So there's the educated vrs the uneducated divide, poor vrs rich differences, north vrs south, business people vrs 'social' people which they exploit. As if everyone wants to stay uneducated, poor and downtrodden! NDC remains the most dangerous political grouping in this nation and they must go into opposition to regroup around a more nobler cause. Else it will never be attractive to anyone with ambition for self actualization, growth and development!
The vehicle has made John and Ibrahim Mahama's case very bad. Hawa Mahama and Frank Alor are directly related to JM. This is a very bad case following the ford bribery scandal. There is a pattern of bribe taking and giving with this Mahama family. I cannot believe a good northern family will behave in such a manner. This is disturbing.
Why are you telling us instead of initiating the court processes. Corrupt people. Your cup is full
You should have started the process so that we will know u took the matter to court when they call on NPP, start the process now to prove u are innocent but becareful JM doest sack u for talking about court here cos he knows he did it. We are waiting for u to sue NPP for defamation, Oya madam hawa hurry
Joyce Bawa is another use11esss minister of state being paid for doing nothing for the state but to worship c0rrupt John Ford Mahama... All of you will be joblless next week.... Why tell the world before going to court? Run.. you are already late... The whole world know John Ford Mahama is c0rrupt... You can't bribe all of us. As for me NDC cannot buy my conscience. Allah bless Northern Regional NPP chairman for exposing these c0rrupt John Ford and his NDC..
The president should not take this fabricated lairs lightly. Its the same thing the republican party in the US did to Hillary Clinton. They waited until the 11th hour to say they have uncovered new emails of Hillary on another computer. Though Hillary was cleared of any wrong doing, the damage to he ambition is history. It is the same strategy being adopted by the Npp. Is like every month they put out a new allegation of corruption against the president and its unfortunate individuals form the north of Ghana that are used to spearhead these ***barred word***. JM is God Chosen and will win the elections no matter what garbage the npp throw at him
