The Information Minister has described as baseless and useless claims by the NPP that President John Mahama and his brother tried to bribe its Northern Regional Chairman.
Dr. Omane Boamah challenged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to provide more evidence of its claims that the president tried to bribe its Northern regional Chairman, Bugri Naabu.
The opposition NPP has accused President John Dramani Mahama and his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, of attempting to bribe the Northern Regional Chairman of the party, Daniel Bugri Naabu.
Mustapha Hamid, who addressed the media, said the intention was to get Bugri Naabu to turn against the NPP’s flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, portray him as a divisive ethnocentric bigot and destroy his chances of winning the 2016 elections.
Speaking on the Super Morning Show, Friday, the Information Minister said the allegations were planned by the NPP to tarnish the image of the President in response to a press conference he (Omane) organised on Monday.
"I got this call on Monday after the press conference that that was what they were going to do...and I was in the car with my Deputy Felix Kwakye-Ofosu when the call came through so I was expecting it," Dr Omane Boamah claimed.
He said the claims were made "just to confuse" the people as the country goes to the polls in five days and stated categorically that "the President has not and will not bribe anybody let alone Mr Bugri Naabi. For what?"
He indicated that the government is ready to engage the NPP if they have "any shred of evidence that will pin President Mahama to this useless and baseless allegations."
But the Communications Director of the NPP speaking on the same platform insisted that President Mahama engaged in the act.
Nana Akomea dismissed suggestions that Bugri Naabu bought the car himself and concocted the story and insisted that that could have been easily traced through the records of the car.
"If that happened the records will show that Bugri Naabu came to this place, he bought this car for this amount, this is the cheque he issued, and this is the receipt he received," he insisted.
He was resolute that the NPP presented enough evidence to prove that that President Mahama and his brother tried to bribe Bugri Naabu to damage the NPP Presidential candidate.

HE NEVER ALLOWS EVIL TO SUCCEED WITHOUT BEING CHALLENGED AND HE EVENTUALLY DESTROYS EVIL. ALL WHO PURSUE EVIL SHALL BE DESTROYED BY THEIR OWN EVIL.
Hey, Mr. Boamah, don't waste your breath! We all know the President and brother will not bribe character like Bugri Naabu. As well, Ghanaians know already that Akufo Addo has no credibility left in him. Plus his personality is on downward spiral so what a heck, will someone bribe Naabu to tarnish his already weak image?
OMANI BOAMA, I DON'T BLAME YOU. YOU ARE DOING JUST YOU HAVE BEEN PAID TO DO.BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARE CONVINCED OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING, THAT YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. AS A MATURED ADULT YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY STATEMENT AND ACTION YOU GIVE.YOU CANNOT BE EXONERATED EVEN IF YOU ARE PAID TO INSULT GOOD PEOPLE AND LIE ABOUT THEM. YOU MUST KNOW THAT JUSTICE IS AN ATTRIBUTE OF GOD AND ANYBODY WHO STANDS UP AGAINST CORRUPTION AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FIGHT ON THE SIDE OF GOD. JUST KEEP SILENT IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. LET THOSE WHO DID IT FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES. DONT JUST SAY SOMETHING FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICS. NOBODY WILL KILL YOU IF AS A COMMUNICATION MINISTER YOU DONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT KNOW. TRUTH CANNOT BE BURIED SO STOP FIGHTING A LOOSING BATTLE.
This Omane Boamah is just dreaming. Considering the overwhelming evidence produced, the NDC must rather apologise and scold their leader for bribery which is a dirty example to display as a leader. AFter all, the 2012 elections was rigged in their favour so not surprising that Mahama and his likes are denying these allegations. Jammeh is gone and next is Mahama and corruption.
They have a recording of all that transpired at all the meetings, so sit there and talk ***barred word***.
And close that mouth that looks like a 2-year old toddler. You're stealing our taxes! Don't you think it's painful enough for us? Go way you!
JM Toaso. You are the best
Mr OMANE bOAMA IF YOU SAID THE npp allegation is baseless and not true than send the NPP to court to and prove it.NDC THIEFS.
