John Dramani Mahama and Martin AmiduJohn Dramani Mahama and Martin Amidu

Some Ghanaians are upset with Martin Amidu’s latest statement on John Dramani Mahama issued on Monday, November 9, on a letterhead from the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

Mahama, on November 3, in a function at the University of Ghana, Legon, described the introduction of a paragraph on the Airbus scandal in the “Corruption and Anti-Corruption Risk Assessment in Agyapa Minerals Royalty Agreement by Martin Amidu as cowardice and “stupidity”.

The Special Prosecutor’s final report submitted to President Nana Akufo-Addo named former President John Dramani Mahama, as the rumored “Government Official 1” whose “brother is Samuel Adam Mahama” in the Airbus bribery scandal.

Mahama accused: “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?

In a counter response, Martin Amidu, in a statement on Monday, November 9, challenged former President John Dramani Mahama to “make a man” and turn to his lawyers for questioning.

Amidu wrote: “His Excellency, the wise and courageous former President John Dramani Mahama, man, wise and courageous enough to come with two attorneys of his choice to be warned and questioned by this Office to demonstrate his courage and wisdom for not having been elected Government Official 1 and also for not being the first guarantor of Samuel Adam Mahama’s passport application. ”

Amidu added: “Former President John Dramani Mahama should come back and listen to Parliament’s background investigation of the Special Prosecutor and the Special Prosecutor’s interview with ‘Time with David Ampofo’ to be sure that crime will always remain crime without care whose ass they gnawed. My friendship with the Minister of Finance never prevented me from making a professional assessment of the conduct of the Ministry of Finance in Agyapa’s sixty-four (64) page evaluation report. I have no brother or friend when it comes to my crusade against prevention and the fight against corruption. Ghana first always! “

This joke has received mixed reactions on social media.

Manasseh Azure Awuni, the investigative journalist wrote that the Special Prosecutor’s office “… is being desecrated.”

Musician A Plus, a well-known supporter of Nana Akufo-Addo also commented: “So after appointing him a special prosecutor, he allocates the highest amount in the 2019 budget to his office (GHS 180,160,231), which brings him a good salary. , a huge office and many benefits. All you can do is ask the suspects to be brave and submit? How useless can an office be? If the guy has done something wrong, go ask him to answer questions? This is like the police who claim to know armed robbers, but ask them to be brave and report themselves. ‘What kind of stupidity is that?’ In the voice of Mahama ”.

Musician Rex Omar wrote: “Ever since John Mahama was chosen in place of Martin Amidu as his running mate by Professor Mills, he has been bitter as hell,” adding that “Whoever advised John Dramani Mahama to get into a fight with Martin Amidu at this crucial moment the time (3 weeks) for an election did not help him at all. “

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, former appointee of Mahama, wrote: “Martin Amidu is a self-confessed street vendor of falsehoods against JM. He will be fired as a hired NPP propagandist in a fruitless venture with the mistaken belief that it will affect this election. “
