Private Legal Practitioner Yaw Oppong has emphasized the need for the Police to investigate the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) bribery allegations against President Mahama.
The NPP at a press conference on Tuesday addressed by Mustapha Hamid, spokesperson for the NPP’s presidential candidate, alleged that the President and his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, tried to compromise Bugri Naabu with a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser and GHc 3.3 million for him to resign from his party and further paint the Akufo-Addo as a dictator and “an anti-northerner.”
“Around the same time, Ibrahim Mahama had tried to convince Bugri with money to leave the NPP to become a chief after Daniel Bugri Naabu’s uncle died, but Bugri refused,” he added.Mr. Oppong however believes the allegation must be investigated to establish its veracity.
“This allegation must be investigated by the Police even at their level and if they think that no useful purpose should be served by even inviting the person against whom the allegation has been made then they can make a determination and tell us.”
He further suggested that persons implicated in the alleged scandal should also be invited for questioning.
“Not only must you investigate the person against who the allegations are made but the veracity of the story, by also inviting the one who has made the allegation.”
Meanwhile the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has rubbished these allegations, describing them as a cock and bull story.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Kofi Adams, who is the National Coordinator of President Mahama’s campaign team said the claims were lies.
“Who in his mind collects money he says it’s bribe; and goes and deposit in his account. He didn’t find any police station to take that money that he considers as a bribe. He didn’t find any person to witness that he took the money and was going round and looking for a Prudential bank that works on Saturday to go and deposit the money. This cock and bull stories should be told to only NPP members and not Ghanaians in generality.”

Investigations will amount to nothing. Remember the investigations done by CHRAJ into the Ford Gift Saga? In Ghana "order from above " and excessive partisanship does not allow our institutions to work. All evidence points to the fact that Mahama and Ibrahim are as guilty as sin.
HAHAHAHHAA NPP LEAVE MAHAMA ALONE. HE CANT HURT A FLY. TWEAAAAA. NAABU HAS NOTHING TO OFFER TO JM. APUU
President Mahama has used just few years to destroy Ghana Economy which former president Kuffuor built and same Mahama and his NDC always swimming in a pool of bribes/bathing with BRIBES. Ghanaians let us be wise to protect the nation for the next generation. Chiefs in Ghana please be very careful ooooo about these bribe scandals!!!!. Hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
Bugri is smarter than Mahama and his brother. No one gives bribe with receipts. So the money, given in cash alone, would have been difficult to substantiate the bribery allegation unless it had been done by cheque in which case the information on it could have been used to trace the source. Bugri therefore waited till the vehicle was given to him. Now we can trace the documents on the vehicle to its source and that is what he has done. I fully agree with Mannaseh Azure when he wrote that only the Directors of Malin Investment Ltd, the company that transferred the vehicle, and in this case the President's Special Assistant can exonerate the President from this scandal.
The chairman deposited money in his account to enable him wait for the car to be delivered as a second exhibit in addition to the money. C0rrupt John Ford Mahama thought he is clever to play a very divisive tribal politics and it backfired. He is caught red handed...
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NDC IS ONLY DENYING THE MONETARY PART BUT NOT TALKING ABOUT THE VEHICLE.IF THIS MAN HAD GONE TO THE POLICE STATION WITH THE MONEY, MAHAMAHS WOULD HAVE DENIED IT BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO EVIDENCE SO ITS GOOD HE WAITED FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME BEFORE COMING OUT
This can only be swallowed down by NPP supporters not a floating voter like me....This at its best can be described as last minute desperation....It does not deserve to be news in the first place....
