Private Legal Practitioner Yaw Oppong has emphasized the need for the Police to investigate the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) bribery allegations against President Mahama.<\/p>\n
The NPP at a press conference on Tuesday addressed by Mustapha Hamid, spokesperson for the NPP\u2019s presidential candidate, alleged that the President<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>and his brother, Ibrahim Mahama, tried to compromise Bugri Naabu with a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser and GHc 3.3 million for him to resign from his party and further paint the Akufo-Addo as a dictator and \u201can anti-northerner.\u201d<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”csWpyIpAS8WWBixwXOLWEQ50JLdsYlxa”]\u201cAround the same time, Ibrahim Mahama had tried to convince Bugri with money to leave the NPP to become a chief after Daniel Bugri Naabu\u2019s uncle died, but Bugri refused,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Mr. Oppong however believes the allegation must be investigated to establish its veracity.<\/p>\n \u201cThis allegation must be investigated by the Police even at their level and if they think that no useful purpose should be served by even inviting the person against whom the allegation has been made then they can make a determination and tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n He further suggested that persons implicated in the alleged scandal should also be invited for questioning.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only must you investigate the person against who the allegations are made but the veracity of the story, by also inviting the one who has made the allegation.\u201d<\/p>\n Bribery claim ‘cock and bull story’<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
