The Office of former President John Dramani Mahama has denounced a false publication claiming that he is the fourth-richest person in Ghana and worth around $900 million.
In a press statement issued on Saturday, August 26, 2023, Mahama’s Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, said the publications are “entirely false and baseless.”
“Mr. Mahama vehemently denies the claims, which he considers yet another attempt to discredit his reputation, cause disaffection for him, and undermine his leadership of selfless service,” Mogtari said in the statement.
She added that the publications are “malicious false publications from obvious political opponents” and are part of a “deliberate and discredited strategy by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to spread lies and seek to generate public disaffection for the leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).”
She urged Ghanaians to disregard the false claim and any similar future publications.
Instead, she encouraged the public to focus on holding the “non-performing NPP government accountable for its gross mismanagement of the economy and dissipation of state resources.”
“Mahama remains committed to an issue-based campaign that seeks to salvage our country from the incompetent, inept and terrible administration of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia.”
The publication has been widely circulated on social media and has generated a lot of discussion.
