Henry Kwabena Kokofu, former Bantama MP, has challenged Ex-President John Dramani Mahama to boldly mention names of the Akyem people who are into sakawa business.

Ex-President John Mahama has come under barrage of criticisms after he shared an article authored by Bolgatanga Central MP, Isaac Adongo. 

The article, which is in reference to the Agyapa Royalties deal, was titled "Agyapa Royalties Fraud Is The Last Straw: The Akyem Sakawa Boys and Grandpas Must Go" and the author described President Akufo-Addo's administration as nepotic.

Following Ex-President Mahama's action, natives of Akyem Abuakwa traditional area hit the streets in protest against former President John Mahama, describing the ''Akyem sakawa boys'' comment as ethnocentric.

The demonstrators clad in red and black wielded placards with inscriptions such as; "Mahama is shameless, Mahama stop these insults and JM enough is enough you are warned".

Touching on the issue on 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM, Kwabena Kokofu bemoaned Mr. Mahama's endorsement of the words used to describe Akyem people.

He, however, dared John Mahama to mention names to prove he is brave and proud of the comments.

"They want to avoid law suit. So, they have generalized it . . . you should name them. Is it proper that you can't mention individual names but will lump an entire tribe together?" he rhetorically asked.
