Former Energy Minister of the ruling New Patrioitic Party (NPP), Boakye Agyarko has described former President John Dramani Mahama as “bald face liar” for claiming that NPP vigilante group members recruited to the National Security were at the funeral of Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko, the late Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon.
Boakye Agyarko in a write up on his facebook wall insists that no such thing occurred before, during and after the funeral of their relation.
According to him, the video put out there is not in any way linked to the funeral of his late brother saying “the family will like to put on record to the international community whom he addressed with the video, that there was no such activity at the funeral ceremony. The funeral of our late brother was organized successfully without any casualties and we find this distortion very surprising.”
Read the full statement below;
The attention of the family of Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko, the late Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon has been drawn to a videotape circulating of the Former President, John Mahama describing a scene of Security operatives as an occurrence at the funeral ceremony of our late loved one.
The family will like to put on record to the international community whom he addressed with the video, that there was no such activity at the funeral ceremony. The funeral of our late brother was organized successfully without any casualties and we find this distortion very surprising.
The family is reliably informed that, the video display was at L/Cpl. Daniel Adu Tieku’s funeral held in August 2018.
The family is appalled with the actions of the former Presidents which seeks to denigrate the memory of the noble man who has been put to rest peacefully.
The family wishes to state that we are still mourning our late brother and request that John Mahama keeps the family away from his political ploy.
If indeed, John Mahama wants to be regarded as a decent fellow, then the family expects him to render a retraction of this palpable falsehood and render an unqualified apology for his unfortunate and despicable action.

This is unacceptable in our culture sep up, JM behave like an Ex President
If what hon Agyeaku said is really true them am sorry john Mahama must come again.what is this, can we describe such a person as a statesman?
Indeed, Mahama seems to be overly desperate about how he can reclaim political power from Nana, our President, beyond any fair means, come 2020. I just can't imagine how NDC would want to elect Mahama to lead the Party against Mr. Goosie Tanoh. So far, Mr. Goosie had been brilliant to show how he would do certain policies better than the present Administration. And talks affectionately and convincingly about his vision for the NDC, reorganizing it on its so-called core values, while Mahama is only picking up on falsehood, fabricating stories to run down his opponents for power- even amidst his own party colleagues' contenders. NDC should sit up and take it seriously to determine if it is indeed, worthwhile to elect Mahama to lead them this time when the competition is about political expedience, competence, and performance. Then, you would be living in a fuuuuul's paradise if you underrated the performance of the NPP-Administration and her political expediency. You can't just defame it with mere propaganda, lies, insults and baseless polemics by saying Ghanaians don't feel it in their pockets. This is in relative terms and you can't force to make it an absolute truth when the NPP accepts there have been challenges though-yet determined to work hard to make things better for the good people of Ghana. Clearly, you can't just do away with the International recognitions making the news about the faring well of the Ghanaian economy by trivial propaganda.
I never knew this agyarko thieff, has a mouth to speak. You have been sacked for corruption for almost a year, you never had the mouth to talk to explain your attempt to rapee Ghana but when John mahama talks about an open truth you have the audacity now to use him to break your pathetic silence.
A visa connection man manage to become a president of Ghana.
Is it not this same Agyarko who misled the president and got fired?!!!!! Morally he has no right to use the word “liar” on any other person because that’s what he is
So you people are now seeing cruuk mahama he is an ordained liar and cr1minal some one who was a connection man at Japan embassy why do you waste your time on him, azaaa par excellent
Mahama and lies,your lies will not brought you come as a president and please learn from your boss jj
What is wrong with this confused individual called Mahama? Just because of desperation for power he is now behaving like seke. How can you draw a funeral that occurred at Somanya into and election issue in Accra?
Well said, he should apologize to the family. What a desperate formal president, mahama should be ashamed of his disspeakable behavior and tell Ghanaians how late president mills died. Wickeeed animallll.
