President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
A viral video of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo receiving a brown envelope as Ghana prepares for the December 7 elections is a “blank bullet fired by desperate politicians,” said Kweku Baako Jr.
He indicated that it is “silly” for anyone to think that a sitting president can be bribed by some individuals because of someone’s job secrets.
“That viral video is fake. The Salis newspaper was key in the [verbal] attacks on Anas Aremeyaw Anas… they thought they were destroying Anas and Tiger Eye… ”Baako said on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show.
There are currently two videos in circulation with the same scenery and scenery but with different narratives. One of the videos was intended to suggest that President Akufo-Addo was influenced by an amount of $ 40,000 hidden in a brown envelope.
In the video, Alhaji Abass Awolu, Director of the Urban Roads Department, according to the narrative, sent a delegation to the president’s residence in Nima to appeal on his behalf for job security.
“They were led to the president by Dr. Adjei Bawuah, Ghana’s ambassador to the United States. In his company there was a woman and a man who were introduced as wife and brother, [respectively] from the Director of Urban Roads ”, explained Baako.
A voice is heard that is supposedly the man presented as Alhaji Abass Awolu’s brother pleading with Akufo-Addo to turn a deaf ear to some accusations against Alhaji Abass, emphasizing that it is a plot of detractors who are bent on tarnishing his image and eventually seeing him. kicked out of the office.
Akufo-Addo, after the alleged clemency plea, is seen receiving a strong brown envelope from Ambassador Bawuah which, according to the narrator, contained US $ 40,000 presented on behalf of Alhaji Abass. As he does so, the voice of the man who is allegedly Alhaji Abass’s brother is heard saying that the package is from Alhaji Abass, who has been advised by some to take such action or risk being removed from office.
“Some people have advised him to come see you with money. He says he doesn’t have much except this $ 40,000. He is begging her not to remove him from office. It also ensures that it will never let you down if it sticks. “
The second video, however, portrays something different. Although the scene and personalities are the same, the conversation is completely different and the donation does not appear to bribe the president. The invisible man, who according to the narration is the brother of Alhaji Abass, is rather heard discussing how they could help in the electoral campaign.
Three personalities, Ambassador Bawuah, a lady and a third guest, a man whose face is not captured, are seen at the home of candidate Akufo-Addo to offer resources in order to grease the gears of his campaign.
Please accept these 40,000 in addition to the jerseys for now. Later, we will let you know how else we can contribute to this, ”said the male voice.
In both videos, Akufo-Addo after receiving the envelope requested a name. She said, “I need to have a name,” to which the lady replied, “Hajia Fawzia.” It is unclear what Akufo-Addo needed the name for.
This, Baako explained, was filmed by one Salis Yakubu Atsuluho, whom he, Baako, introduced to Anas Aremeyaw Anas of New Crusading Guide fame.
“I just don’t know how I feel,” Baako admitted, “This gentleman, Salis Yakubu Atsuluho, is the guy behind The Salis newspaper. The guy who made the secret recording of candidate Akufo-Addo. “
When Kwami Sefa Kayi, the host of the show, asked him if he knew that for sure, Baako replied “sure, sure”.
“Look, this is a boy [that] I influenced his entry on ‘Tiger Eye PI’, that’s why I said I don’t know how I feel; and in four, five months, Anas fired him. “
Baako recounted that in 2006, Salis Yakubu approached him at the Labone coffee shop and indicated that “he used to be an NDC activist, but now a PNP activist, and he tried to dispute the PNP ticket in the Yapei constituency -Kusawgu “.
“She is a political prostitute […….] of the highest order and I regret myself… ”Baako said.
Baako further stated that when the verbal war of words over Anas Aremeyaw Anas began about two years ago, and prior to “Who’s Watching the Watcher – Part 1”, the “Salis newspaper”, which was published mainly online, alleged that he, Kweku Baako, secretly recorded Nana Akufo-Addo.
“Anas went to show [President Akufo-Addo] excerpts from issue 12, ”Baako explained, which helped clear things up.
