“Unless you take all Ghanaians to be fools, but Ghanaians are not fools, so the type of questions I’m asking, every Ghanaian will ask those questions and will be able to draw a conclusion that this is desperation at its highest peak”
The above comment was made by the General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia in reaction to the claim that Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu was bribed with GHS3.3million, two SUVs and GHS500,000.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Mustapha Hamid, spokesperson of Nana Akufo Addo, flagbearer of the NPP said President John Mahama and his brother Ibrahim, attempted bribing Bugri Naabu, with two SUVs, GHc3.3million, an additional GHc500,000 and other mouthwatering goodies so that he would resign from the party and launch an acerbic tribal campaign against flag bearer Nana Akufo-Addo by painting him as a hater of northerners.
The party further revealed that President Mahama has no commitments to develop the North but instead "only sees northerners as pawns in his political chess game, who he must manipulate to perpetuate himself in power in order to continue with the rape of the public purse. Many communities across the north do not have drinking water. And when their brother, who is president, purports to give them water in the form of boreholes, he only uses it as an avenue to make money for himself and his family and friends. For every borehole that President Mahama sinks in the north, five villages are denied same. Northerners are still seething with anger over the 60,000 cedis per borehole project. The story of SADA and the rape of the north, has become the butt of many jokes in Ghana."
But reacting to the claim in an interview on Class91.3FM, Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito said the story was cooked up by the NPP.
He wondered why Mustapha Hamid was the one speaking on the issue when Bugri Naabu or his spokesperson should be those speaking.
“…If I have GHS10 to pay or to bribe anybody to speak for me, it is not Bugri Naabu that I’ll be wasting that money on. NPP itself knows. And this issue where he cannot even speak for himself shows that he cannot even be speaking for anybody. A person who cannot even speak for himself, cannot be able to speak for another person. I think that if you are a person who people would want to buy, then you must demonstrate that you can even speak on matters concerning you. Since Bugri Naabu was made regional chairman of NPP, ask the NPP people themselves what impact has he made, what has been his impact? I mean do you think that somebody becomes so rich that he doesn’t know what to use his money for then he goes throwing the money away buying people who cannot speak to speak for him?
I am saying that this whole story is something that is not worthy of the airtime you are spending on it. If Bugri Naabu claims somebody has bribed him, he can speak or his spokesperson can speak, but I know Mustapha Hamid is the spokesperson for Nana Addo and then Nana Addo’s campaign manager, so they have come together and realised that the campaign is going so bad for Nana Addo so: ‘let us throw in any mud hoping that that mud will stick’, but Ghanaians are wiser than what they take them to be. Everybody thinks that: ‘Oh, we have lost so it doesn’t matter, let’s throw anything inside. That is what they are doing. I’m not sure this is going to sway any sensible Ghanaian into voting for Nana Addo,” Asiedu Nketia said.

We have come so far for Aseidu Nketiah to defend issues without documents. Facts are sacred and there is nothing like objective or subjective truth. There is but only 1 truth. Why did not Ibrahim or JM came out themselves? Does it mean JM cant seak for himself and should be voted out? Somebody should advise mosquito to stop the concert
Probably this will be the most difficult task Asiedu Nketia has ever undertaken. He has even run out of words. Who said lying to make a living is an easy job?
Some of these NDC-Ministers demonstrate quite often thier narrow mindedness especially when it comes to speaking to issues argumentatively. They do that because their main objective is in the first place, to dispute and discredit facts to protect the NDC-Administration. And indeed, they do that, so hazardously and desperately. That,at the end of the day you realize that, they rather, damage the very Person or instutution they seek to protect,this scenario depicts sycophancy at its best. You see, let assume that this attempt to bribe Bugiri bothers on, or seem to harm, the Party Bugri faithfully belongs to. And so he kept his own council and realized that at least he needed some documents or evidence to refer the case to his dear Party. At this point in time, no sane person can fault Mr Bugiri for, to have received a bribe for his personal benefit. Asiedu Nkatia is another empty guy only good for propaganda
What's so peace fm expect from this man who has in his public life never speak the truth always spill lies and deciet room Ghanaians. If allegations with such evidence seems not true to you, then i can't believe he Asiedu Nketia. In any case why don't you ndc, president and his brother summoned his to court! Since you want us to believe it's a lies go to cour to prove Ghanaians. Please spare our ears
C0rrupt John Ford Mahama is tribalist and divisive. He does not deserve to be our president.. He killed Prof Mills. Now trying to bribe us all to vote for him... Never! Thank God there are still credible people in Ghana. Vote out this bribe taker and bribe giver NDC candidate.

WHAT ARE THE 2 JEEPS AND A MANSION GIVEN TO AKUA DONKOR FOR ? F---O---O--L---S ?
NDC YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.THE FOUNDER OF THE PARTY NDC , J.J. SAYS 60% WHO ARE IN HIS PARTY NDC NOW ARE T-H-I- V-E-S
Stop that lies, did the car fly to the man or what. You want to destroy NPP and you always come to the Volta Region to tell us lies. Look at Fiifi who want to build airport at Aflao. Even the STC bus terminal they cannot maintain it. Who will join a plane to Aflao when I can fly direct to Lome. Sometime politicians think we are ***barred word***. Sometime I pity the Volta Region.
The president and the brother are spoiling our party. Why are we trying to bribe people because of power. The people who have benefitted from the present government and afraid now. I always say that we should campaingn on policies. We should stop attacking the character of Akuffo Addo, it has not worked and it will not work. Why I believe this is that, none of the people accused have come out to defend themselves. Why? did the car fly to the man or what? Asiedu should stop that his concert chairmanship thing.
