The JM Truth Forum, a pro-Mahama group, has issued a stern warning to the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo and his Running Mate, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, to henceforth put a stop to their campaign of falsehood and deliberately attacking the soaring image and reputation of the President, John Dramani Mahama, his wife, Lordina and family. The group also wants the NPP to allow the soul of the late President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills to rest in peace. This was contained in a statement issued in Accra and signed by the Convener, James Kofi Afedo. The JM Truth Forum�s statement was in reaction to publications in sections of the media that the late President Mills was poisoned to cover up Mr Mahama�s corrupt deals. According to the group, �on the heels of the flat-footed Mills poisoned story� was �yet another story published by Nana Addo�s team� which alleged that a special investigative report by globally respected Transparency International, has indicted President Mahama and his wife for stashing $170 million being loans and grants to Ghana in a Switzerland bank. But the Truth Forum accused the NPP flagbearer, who they claim has �a dented political and social lifestyle that cannot be remedied� and his assigns, of resorting to the churning out of these falsehoods and campaign of calumny in their desperation for power. �Nana Addo�s unsuitability as President, as espoused by a long time friend, Kofi Coomson, the position of the US authorities about his lack of leadership skills, and the confirmation of his drug use by personalities like Kwesi Pratt and others, are matters of public record...Mr. Nana Addo, you cannot win an election by engaging in these bedroom stories seeking to damage your opponent. Your dented political and social lifestyle cannot be remedied, yes. But you cannot succeed in denting any other�s image with falsehood,� the group said.
