Former President John Dramani Mahama has refuted claims that he is one of the wealthiest men in Ghana and is worth over 900 million dollars.
The former President talking on Power 98.7 FM in South Africa stated that he does not have even 2 million dollars in his accounts and wonders why people deliberately misinform the public over how much he is worth.
“Never, [I am] nowhere near [that] and in Ghana there is an asset declaration commission and I have declared my assets.”
The former NDC leader added “I am absolutely nowhere near that [amount].”
According to the former President, claims that he enriched himself during his presidency are frivolous and deliberately put out by his opponents for political expediency.
He added that most people also confuse him with his brother – Ibrahim Mahama – who is a wealthy businessman in Ghana.
“I am not anywhere near even 2 million dollars to talk about 900 million dollars.
“Often my brother [Mahama] is confused with me, my brother is a businessman, he has his assets and I have no interest in his business and I don’t own shares in his business.
“I am a farmer, I have published a book and I have earned royalties from my book and I earn from my farm and that is it, I live a very modest life,” the former President who ruled Ghana from 2012 to 2016 said.
The former president is in South Africa to be decorated with the African Political Leader of the Year Award in South Africa today, February 23, 2017.
The African Leadership Magazine is awarding him for his contribution towards deepening and enriching Ghana’s democracy and his towering status as one of Africa’s best.

John John Mahama. How on earth can you say spew such an ungodly statement. You have stolen from the people of Ghana & yet you keep lying. God punish you & your generations to come after you for the evil you perpetuated on the good people of Ghana. If for nothing at all we are clearly aware you are the biggest ***barred word*** ever to have to have governed this nation. After ballooning our debt to 122 billion cedis with nothing to show for it you come back to insult us. Our God in heaven punish you more than what Nebuchadnezzar experienced. Shame on you
God Punish you all haters of the former president May your unsubstantiated lies follow you to your graves... shame !!
Not 2 million in your account, which account? The one in Ghana or the international accounts. Ayariga's tape says you usually didn't want your bribes in Ghana accounts but international ones. So Mr. President can you please specify which of the accounts you are talking about.
This man dosnt fear God and will never do.That estate u nd Ashantehene are puting up in kumasi, with Obasanjo paying for 50 of them, how much does that alone cost?
LEAVE HIM ALONE TO ENJOY THE STOLEN MONEY ? WHO WILL BELIEVE THIS T--H---I---E---F ?
Ghanaians what is your problem? Leave Ex-President JDM alone
I do not have even 2 million dollars in his accounts, are sure of what you are saying, we live to see and time will tell whether you are saying the truth or lies, you know for sure that you are lying, you have it but you cannot spend them.
If that was to be true then you have really thrown our money to the dogs, anyway why didn't you pop-up at the SoNA, JJ was waiting for you
