The government has accused former President John Dramani Mahama of using falsehood to undermine the authority of the state in the eyes of the international community.
Mr Mahama on Wednesday, February 13 hosted diplomats and showed them videos and pictures of alleged violence which occurred during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election on January 31, 2019.
The Minister of Information, Kwadwo Oppong Nkrumah addressing a press briefing today in Koforidua said the government will notify the diplomats that two out of the three videos shown them by Mr Mahama and the narratives are palpably false and designed to tarnish Ghana's reputation.
He said: "The Government of Ghana will this week put the diplomatic committee in Ghana on formal notice that former President John Dramani Mahama peddled several falsehoods and sought to undermine the authority of the state in his engagement with them on Wednesday, 13th February 2019".
The Minister said the usage of some of the videos by Mr Mahama also seeks to prejudice the work of the Emile Short Commission which is mandated to investigate the violence that characterised the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.

NO MATTER WHAT THE NDC WILL DO WE KNOW GOOD GOVERNANCE FROM A BAD ONE. NANA IS A GOOD LEADER FAR BETTER THAN THE ONE THEY INTEND TO BRING AGAIN.I MEAN THE ..............ONE!
THE NPP GOVT IS THE MOST DISHONEST GOVT GHANA HAS EVER HAD. BECAUSE THEY THINK GHANAIANS HAVE SHORT MEMORIES,THEY THINK WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THE NUMBER OF TIMES NANA ADDO THEN OPPOSITION LEADER AND BAWUMIA WENT TO CHINA TO FRUSTRATE A LOAN AGREEMENT THAT THE NDC GOVT WANTED TO SIGN WITH CHINA.NANA ADDO AGAIN HELD SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH GHANAIANS OUTSIDE ESPECIALLY IN USA TO PAINT THE THEN GOVT AND THE COUNTRY BLACK. TODAY, MAHAMA ONLY SHOWED THE PICTURES TO THE DIPLOMATIC COMMUNITY IN GHANA NOT OUTSIDE AND NOW YOU COMPLAINING. YOU ARE YET TO SEE THE WORSE WHEN SERIOUS CAMPAIGNS START. YOUR LIES AND CHEAP PROPAGANDA AGAINST JM AND THE NDC WONT WORK FOR YOU IN 2020.AS GHANAIANS WE HAVE NOW SEEN THE DIFFERENCE CLEARLY. HYPOCRITES.
HAD IT NOT BEEN TODAY I DIDNT KNOW KOJO OPPONG IS THAT FOOOUUUUULLLLLLL,COMEDIAN,WHAT DO YOU THINK GHANAIANS ARE? WE CAN ALL SEE THE TRUTH, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? DONT WE HAVE THE PICTURES SECULATING IN THE MEDIA? DID MAHAMA WENT AND CREATED THOSE PICTURES????? NPP, GO AWAY...LIERS,NPP,K.R.I.M.I.N.A.L.S NANA ADDO MUST GO!,NPP MUST GO!!, KUKRUDU MUST GO!!!
Same coward using pseudo names of AMA and Komla. If the government was not doing anything about the AWW incident, then the action of the former president would have been justified Secondly, he picked and chose (falsified Pictures and films) of a single incident in our past by elections to portray to the diplomatic community that the nation is insecure.
Ei, since when did meeting diplomat communities become undermining the authority of the state. We all saw how many times nana addo and barwumia were meeting the USA and UK ambassadors, almost on daily basis leading to the 2016 elections. Infact, the UK high commissioner and the USA ambassador used to have dinner with nana addo. The NPP party and its appointees are the most dishonest people in this nation. They act as if Ghana is their personal property, therefore if its not them then everyone else is inferior and for that matter wrong. What sort of machavalien tactics is this. In opposition nana addo even traveled outside Ghana to paint Ghana soo bad, no one even issue a statement about him. God is watching you all and you will have your rewards one after the other.
Ah, kojo nkrumah which of the videos is falsehood? Why don't you reload the false videos to Ghanaians. In any case, you are accusing the former president for being unpatriotic by showing them videos and photos that may tarnish the image of Ghana, so per your own analysis are you not equally unpatriotic for writing to the same DIPLOMATS, because whichever information you will give them whether good or bad is also about Ghana. As far as we discerning Ghanaians are concerned the DIPLOMATS have more information about the violence in ayawaso more than even what the former president gave them. BBC, CNN, ALJAZEERA and other international news outfits have reported the activities of the invisible and delta forces right from when they storm the kumasi court to the ayawaso incidence, so no amount of clarification would change their minds. I suggest you write to the diplomats about the cedi that is running like Usain bolt.
