President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been called upon to thoroughly investigate an alleged attempted bribery of the Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, by President John Mahama and his brother Ibrahim.
It is recalled that in the lead-up to the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections, Mr Bugri Naabu, through Mustapha Hamid, spokesperson to Mr Akufo-Addo, alleged that the president and his brother had offered him GHS 500,000 cash and a brand new Mitsubishi V6 to resign from the NPP and portray Nana Akufo-Addo as someone who hated Northerners in order to sway the people of the three northern regions to vote against the NPP.
Mr Naabu claimed he accepted the bribe only to use them as evidence against Mr Mahama.
But a statement issued by Thomas S.K Sampana, Convener of the Coalition of NPP Youth Network in the Northern Region, released on Friday, December 23, said: “These are part of several moves by the NDC to dent and tag the NPP government as a corrupt administration. We are, therefore, calling on the leadership of the NPP to, as a matter of urgency, refer Mr Bugri Naabu’s alleged bribery scandal in which he was given a brand new car and some amount of money by the office of the outgoing President to the Ghana Police Service for investigation. We are also appealing to leadership of the NPP to set up a committee within the party to investigate and make public their findings on the bribery scandal in which Mr Daniel Bugri Naabu was named.
It added: “Furthermore, we are appealing to leadership of the NPP to investigate an alleged report, which is circulating on social media about the involvement of Mr Bugri Naabu in some tribal bigotry in the north, which sought to create some tribal tensions between some ethnic groups in the Northern Region. We are serving notices of petition to the NPP National Executive Committee (NEC), which has the constitutional mandate to listen to our concerns immediately after the swearing in ceremony of the president-elect.
“We are also putting up a statement of concern which will be forwarded to the party’s national disciplinary committee for hearing. Lastly, we are appealing to leadership of the NPP and the president-elect to distance Mr Daniel Bugri Naabu from some critical decision until he is investigated and cleared by the party and the security service of Ghana."

There is nothing to to probe here, akufo addo, you and I knows perfectly that the bribery allegation againt Mahama and his brother is a lie set up by you and your npp ***barred word*** lickers, If there is anything to probe at all then I suppose it must be the dubious way you became a lawyer.
Who is this wreck,less john mahama. The law of a good country is no respector of persons, so the law is going to deal with any one who breaks it, irrespective of one's political affiliation.Because jonh mahama did not know this simple thing, he naerly collapsed the country. So good countrymen, let us allow the rule of law to shape our actions for a better Ghana. Afenhyia pa from Europe.
So npp are coming to rule on bribery allegations, you are kidding me.
Who is mahama after the swearing in of a new president? He would be dealt with by the constitution of the land and what can you do? If the law says 'YES' who are you to say'NO' NONS*nse. You think NPP are some weak people? They believe in the rule of law and the law will deal drastically with anyone who goes contrary to it. You think they are going to rule like the ndc jungle government of survival of the fittest? The institutions are going to strengthened as President Obama said, so, the laws of the land will deal with anybody who jumps into it,and thank God we have a disciplined astute lawyer as a president,who wouldn't tolerate any nons*nse unconstitutional from you ndc thugs. NDC thought they were smart but the NPP showed they were smarter than them hence this unprecedented miserable defeat ndc suffered in their hands. I still say if the Isrealis couldn't fix the supposed IT mistakes according to Kofi Adams then who?hahahaha and Ackon the Ashanti regional minister compare ndc to the NPP? Come on are you crazy? Ndc will be stuck in opposition.
These are remnants of PAID & HUNGRY fake NPP members always causing confusion in the party. FISH them out! They receive bribes from NDC just to cause trouble in NPP. SHAME!
