Vote President Mahama Out–Ernesto Yeboah

The National Youth Organizer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Ernesto Yeboah has called on Ghanaians to vote out President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming general elections to demonstrate to him that we frown on corruption.

His call follows report by The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) that President John Mahama breached the gift policy, when he accepted a gift of a Ford Expedition vehicle from a Burkinabe contractor, as Vice President in 2012.

CHRAJ’s report follows a petition by the youth wing of the Convention People’s Party, which demanded a probe into the conduct of the President, for accepting the gift worth GHc100, 000 from the contractor who was subsequently awarded some government contracts.

CHRAJ said the gift in question formed part of gifts prohibited under the Gift Policy under the Code of Conduct, and that although the evidence shows that President Mahama subsequently surrendered the gift to the State, the action nonetheless contravened the gift policy.

However, speaking to Oman News, Ernesto Yeboah, who accused President Mahama for abusing his office, indicated that “The President has clearly demonstrated to us that he no regard for the country’s laws and therefore should be voted out.”

“Are we going to vote for somebody who has been cited for abuse of public office?” he quizzed.

“We are just two months away to the general elections and I will urge Ghanaians to vote against His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for him to know that we abhor corruption,” he charged.

Ernesto Yeboah underscored the need for other investigative bodies in the country to request for the full report and examined it to see if they can probe further.

He hinted that the youth wing of the party will consult their legal team in order to determine their next line of action.
