Former Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama’s office has refuted reports that he is the fourth richest person in the country and has a net worth of almost $900 million.
The article, in the opinion of Mahama’s administration, is nothing less than an unsubstantiated ploy to sow discord for Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the general elections of 2024.
In a statement sighted by 1Family Radio, it was noted, “The Office of HE John Dramani Mahama has been made aware of false publications claiming that the former president is the court richest person in Ghana and worth around $900 million.”
“We wish to state categorically that the publications are entirely false and baseless. Mr. Mahama vehemently denies the claims, which he considers yet another attempt to discredit his reputation, cause disaffection for him, and undermine his leadership of selfless service.’’
It continued, “These malicious false publications from obvious political opponents will be expected as Ghana approaches the 2024 general elections, an election John Mahama will win.’’
“It is obvious that this publication is part of a deliberate and discredited strategy by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to spread lies and seek to generate public disaffection for the leader and flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)—a man in whom many Ghanaians have expressed their confidence and are looking forward to his visionary leadership from January 7, 2025.”
“We encourage the public to focus on holding the non-performing NPP government accountable for its gross mismanagement of the economy and dissipation of state resources,’’ parts of the statement signed by Joyce Bawah Mogtari read.
