The New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP), Northern Regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu is insisting President John Dramani Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama, attempted to bribe him to damage the reputation of the party\u2019s 2016 Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.<\/p>\n
He broke his silence on the contentious issue at his private Fuo residence in Tamale, where he received Hassan Ayariga\u2019s All Peoples Congress\u2019 (APC) Northern Regional executives, and party members who have declared their unflinching support for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”U1zPWZZyBq6mIiAVuxCwR3c0bhub3vXX”]He stated that, \u201cI don\u2019t need bribe. If I need bribe; I would have pocketed the money they gave me and the cars and the promise of other money which is supposed to come, I would have done it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He claimed that he was already wealthy when President Mahama was a student.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I started buying cars; Mahama was a student at Ghana College (Ghanasco). He himself told me that I was having some cars and other things, and today you are presenting five hundred thousand to me and a car. As for me I don\u2019t need anybody to give me money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf John Mahama wanted to give me money; he would have given me money when he became the vice President. Is today that he knows that I need money? Today that you are failing; you are calling me to come, I won\u2019t come,\u201d Bugri Naabu charged.<\/p>\n
Daniel Bugri Naabu chastised the National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) 2016 Campaign Coordinator, Kofi Adams, for calling him (Bugri Naabu) a liar.<\/p>\n
He renewed his confidence in Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo\u2019s capacity to salvage the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that Nana Addo is the only one who can build Ghana peacefully and for that matter I will never ever collect bribe to damage him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spokesperson of the NPP Presidential nominee, Mustapha Hamid,\u00a0on Tuesday\u00a0at a news conference in Accra, accused President Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama of attempting to bribe the party\u2019s Northern Regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu to campaign against Nana Akufo Addo.<\/p>\n
Whereas the NDC\u2019s National Campaign Coordinator, Kofi Adams, has rubbished the allegation, some concerned political analysts have challenged Daniel Bugri Naabu to substantiate the allegation.<\/p>\n
APC Northern Regional Executives endorse Nana Addo<\/strong> \u201cWe in the Northern Region were not consulted by anybody especially Ayariga; when he decided to throw his weight behind a certain party in Ghana. We were not consulted in the Northern Region and so we disassociate ourselves completely from throwing his weight behind the NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe in the APC and for that matter the regional, constituency and Parliamentary candidates of the Northern Region; wish to state here and now to the good people of Ghana that, we sincerely endorse the candidature of Nana Akufo, the NPP Flagbearer for 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n Ibrahim Mashoud explained their decision, saying, \u201cThe endorsement came after series of meetings considering the corruption, mismanagement, wastage of the economy, high rate of unemployment, highest rate of incompetence, killer taxes, collapse of the private sector, high utility bills, tribal politics just to mention a few.\u201d<\/p>\n He exposed Hassan Ayariga\u2019s ignorance on the composition of the APC Northern Regional chapter.<\/p>\n \u201cHassan Ayariga does not know all his regional executives not to talk of constituency members who were behind him, he does not know anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe went round to form the constituency executives. He has never been to Tamale to see any constituency executives not to talk of the regional. So I want to say emphatically that Hassan Ayariga does not know anybody in the Northern Region so far as the APC is concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n He insisted that, Nana Akufo remained their obvious choice for the\u00a0December 7\u00a0Presidential poll.<\/p>\n \u201cOur support and votes are for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo of the NPP, and we are declaring that all our members should vote for him on\u00a0December 7. Our support for Nana Akufo Addo is solid and unshakable.\u201d The New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP), Northern Regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu is insisting President John Dramani Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama, attempted to bribe him to damage the reputation of the party\u2019s 2016 Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
