Former Information and Media Relations Minister the Hon Mahama Ayariga revealed that it is the first time he has seen former President John Dramani Mahama angry and openly insulting former special counsel Martin Amidu for attempts to link the infamous Airbus scandal with the Agyapa royalty agreement.

The corruption risk assessment of the then Special Prosecutor and the analysis of the Agyapa Royalty Agreement Report, had in part described the former president as the Government Official.

But the standard-bearer of the Democratic National Congress (NDC) who felt slighted by the development, described the introduction of a paragraph about the Airbus scandal in the “corruption and anti-corruption risk assessment in the Agyapa Minerals royalty deal by Martin Amidu as cowardice and “stupidity”.

“If you [Martin Amidu] They were men enough, to present Agyapa and report on Airbus separately. And I’ll come as a man and answer you on Airbus. If you think I’m accused at Airbus, blame me directly. But since he’s a coward and he knew they were going to argue about Agyapa, he put a paragraph about Airbus to level the discussion. I mean, what stupidity is this?

Reacting to this on an Accra-based radio station monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Bawku’s central legislator said: “I have never seen President John Dramani Mahama very angry or openly insult anyone during the many years that I have known John Dramani Mahama, so the last time I saw him be really tough on Martin, I just felt like maybe his approach to doing this to doing this secret job is something about it that he probably didn’t get right. “
