Deputy General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP], Nana Obiri Boahen says corruption is now flowing like blood in the veins of President John Dramani Mahama.
To him, the President has spearheaded the canker he attempted to eradicate some years back with pride.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show, he noted that the President has set a bad precedence for young politicians after he was fingered in a car bribery saga.
“Ah! Just a common car? So what will a District Chief Executive Officer collect as bribe?” he questioned.
He also alleged that the gifted Ford Expedition vehicle was registered in the President’s name and not the state as purported.
“The president should make public the documents of the car. My president, our President, John Dramani Mahama is fantastically corrupt,” he added.
Background
President John Dramani Mahama has come under intense public bashing for accepting the car gift worth about US$100,000 from a Burkinabe contractor, allegedly to influence him.
The Burkinabe, Djibril Kanazoe, has admitted giving President Mahama a Ford Expedition vehicle, for which the President called to thank him.
The gift, according to reports, was prior to an attempt by the contractor, to win a bid to execute the Dodo Pepeso-Nkwanta road construction project. The same contractor had also been contracted to build a wall, at a cost of over half a million dollars, for the Ghana Embassy in Ouagadougou.
