The Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed that the ever popular Gold House located around Kawukudi area is former President Mahama’s private resident.
According to Anthony Nukpenu, President Mahama has packed out of the No. 3, Prestige Link, Cantonments bungalow and now living in his private home comfortably with his family.
Speaking on Eye Witness News, the NDC organizer confirmed that since former President Mahama’s return from Nigeria and Bamako he has not set foot at the Cantonment bungalow.
“The last time I came into contact with president Mahama was around Gold House,” he told the host.
When asked whether Gold House is the ex- president’s private home, Anthony Nukpenu responded in the affirmative. He also gave a conflicting account whether he was referring to the President’s brother, Ibrahim Mahama’s home or Mahama’s private resident.
“The brother’s home is his home, whatever home his brother is occupying is ex-president Maham’s home. The owner of the house will only show by documentation, whoever put it up may not necessarily be the owner of the house” he insisted.
Mr Nukpenu flatly denied knowledge of assertion that a private citizen in Accra has offered Former president Mahama a residential apartment at Airport residential area to live in with his family.
The NDC man also described as sheer hypocrisy and mischief on the part of the NPP and its leader, Nana Akufo-Addo regarding the resettlement of President Mahama and all the row on his bungalow request.
“These are people you cannot trust in one bit, the dishonesty of people you think you can trust but we should be looking far. And that was what an out-going government and its officials didn’t see it coming. Dealing with the NPP one needs to be very careful and if you want to eat with them you use a very long spoon,” Anthony Nukpenu cautioned.
The former President Mahama had earlier refused to leave a state bungalow despite the expiration of his tenure saying he had been given the nod to own the property.
President Mahama subsequently in a letter addressed to President Akufo-Addo and copied to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on January 10, 2017 withdrew his request to keep the state bungalow as his retirement home and another property as his office.
He did not give further explanation for his decision but said, “I do recognize that these are facilities that are conventionally extended to Presidents that leave office and I am also mindful of the approval by the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana on Wednesday, 4th January, 2017 at its Twenty-Second Sitting of the Third Meeting of the Fourth Session.

PLEASE NO MORE KWASEAAA BI NTI. ASIEDU NKETIA AND HIS GANG ENTICED YOU TO SPECULATE FOR HIM TO SUE YOU TO GET MONEY. PLEASE DONT DO IT AGAIN. SINCE THEY ARE NOW OUT OF POWER AND CANNOT GET MONEY DIRECTLY FROM STATE COFFERS, THEY WOULD USE OTHER DUBIOUS MEANS TO GET GHANAIANS TO PAY FOR THEIR EXPENDITURE. DONT PLAY TO THEIR HANDS
Ooh what's new, Ghanaians already know the has stolen so much from our coffers, only time will tell
citi fm i think you are behaving like ***barred word*** what at all do want from john focus on your epilepsy president and how he can govern this nation of ours
I hope the main Gold House has not been bought by former president John Mahama. I have always known that Ibrahim occupies the long stretch after Gold House. If now we are being told this then it could be that the main Gold House may have been bought by the ex-president.
He is still there. He received the UN advisor on SDG there this sunday. He will uproot and burn.
You n.d.c refuse to give house to ex-president Kuffour. so what? Let have peace
People just be cool about Mahama andthe NDC. The request by Mahama was just to test hispopularity and the 'love' Ghanaians have for him, even after his demise. And it has backfired. It is not Akufo-Addo and/or the NPP who denied that request. He was vehemently denied by the broad masses of suffering Ghanaians he impoverished during his tenure as VP and president of this dera country of ours. The silent anger of the people is still potent. All these tantrums by his NDC people will not wash. I bet you that, if, the house was mistakenly given to Mahama, a massive demonstration would have rocked and engulfed the whole country. We are just fe upwith your g.r.e.e.d.i.n.e.s.s, Mahama and NDC! PERIOD!
'A law maker cannot ever be a law breaker!' The reigning Speaker of Parliament has alerted all. How apposite! The immediate past NDC president should never have entertained any illusion he could ever come into a Republic of Ghana landed property. What does the request Mr Dramani Mahama made to be allowed to reside in the COCO-BOD residence tell about Mr Mahama's state of mind? And his mind-set? And what does it reveal about where he is coming from? Ghana cannot ever be abused, it needs to noted by all. Ghana is a nation state. And by our definition, Ghana, as a nation state, is LAW...RAW LAW in all its connotations.
That ***barred word*** boy nukpenu is mad, has he for got what john ford mahama and his ndc did to president kufuor, and you the ***barred word*** organizer did to president nana addo by taken his own private car from his driver, where was mahama and you the ***barred word*** animals, obomsan betua mo ndc foo nyinaa ka baako baako mmoa mma.
Anthony Nukpenu, your likes are the demagoes in our socity.In the first place why should he the president make that request. Is he not wise enough to have known that it was wrong for him to do so. It tells you he was and is and shall continue to be incompentent as a manager of our country's resourses. A disgrace to his parents, family, friends, love ones and the nation. Please, give us a brake, okay.
