Christopher Anani, self-employed, who allegedly assaulted a co-tenant for his jubilation over the New Patriotic Party’s victory at Agbogba, has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.

Anani, who was charged with assault, pleaded with the court to allow him and the complainant settle the matter out of court.

The Court therefore referred the parties to the Alternative Dispute Resolution of the court system.

It however admitted Anani to bail and adjourned the matter to March 20. Inspector Emmanuel Haligah said the complainant, Richard Thompson, was tailor and a resident of Agbogba.  The accused person also resides in the same area.

The prosecution said on December 11, last year, when the Electoral Commission of Ghana declared the Presidential results in the December polls, the complainant became elated and began jubilating amidst shouts to wit: “We have won, we have won.”

The prosecutor said Anani, who stays in the same house with the complainant, became angry over the jubilation.

Inspector Haligah said the accused, who is perceived to be a National Democratic Congress sympathizer, entered into the complainant’s room and pulled him onto the compound and brutally assaulted him.

The prosecution said Anani‘s conduct resulted in “bodily affliction” to the nose, eye, legs with headaches.

A report was made to the Police and Anani was subsequently arrested.

Hajia Mariama Bawumia, mother of the Dr. Bawumia, had these poignant words for people of her hometown and Ghanaians a day after the NPP’s 2016 election victory.

Mrs. Bawumia was speaking to Citi News’ Abdul Karim Naagtogmah on Saturday morning at the Bawumia’s family home as she espoused confidence in her son, saying “he is a hard working guy so I know he will do well as Vice President.”

“At this moment he is for Ghana, not for Walewale. Now he is for Ghana and we cannot expect more than what he can do. So what he can do he will do it. If there is anything to help the community here he will help, but he is not here to say he is from Walewale. He is for Ghana so he will do what he can do for Ghana,” she said.

The Vice-President-elect’s mother also has high hopes for the in the incoming NPP administration led by the President-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, which she said will do “wonders”.

“With Nana there, they are going to do wonders. Nana is a workaholic and Mahamudu is one too. So the two coming together will do what they can for everybody to be happy.”

“Nana is somebody Mahamudu can learn from. He’s his father and big brother so I am not worried. He is a father and big brother so I am not worried. He will deliver.”

Dr. Bawumia, 53, has been by Nana Akufo-Addo’s side since 2008 where he was plucked to from the Bank of Ghana to become the NPP’s Running Mate.

He will now stand alongside Nana Akufo-Addo at the Presidency after the NPP flagbearer was declared the 5th president of the 4th republic of Ghana by the Electoral Commission (EC) on Friday, December 9, 2016.

The NPP Flagbearer finally secured the presidency at the third time of asking, beating the incumbent, President John Mahama who became the first incumbent to lose a presidential election since Ghana returned to a multi-party democracy in 1992.

The EC declared him the emphatic winner, with 53.85% of the votes, while President Mahama took 44.40% of the votes from the provisional results.
