The opposition New Patriotic Party has accused President Mahama and his brother Ibrahim Mahama of bribing the Northern Regional Chairman of the party Daniel Bugri Naabu to destroy the flagbearer of NPP Nana Akufo-Addo by branding him as anti-Northerner.

According to the NPP, Mr. Naabu was offered a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser and GHc 3.3 million to resign from the NPP and paint the NPP Flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo as a dictator and damage him “beyond electability.”

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Spokesperson for Nana Akufo- Addo Mustapha Hamid cited a number of instances where President Mahama and his brother gave Bugri Naabu huge sums of money to buttress his point.

“On Friday, October 28, 2016, Bugri Naabu was invited to meet President Mahama in a meeting set up by Ibrahim Mahama and one Mohammed Awal after six months of trying.

“Around the same time, Ibrahim Mahama had tried to convince Bugri with money to leave the NPP to become a chief after Daniel Bugri Naabu’s uncle died, but Bugri refused,” he added.

“According to the President, Bugri should paint Akufo-Addo as a rabid anti-northern person who could never be trusted to advance the people of the north… he was supposed to say that Akufo-Addo was knocking the head of one northerner against the other.”

Mr. Hamid indicated that the NDC promised to give Mr. Naabu a brand new V6 Mitsubishi, a brand New V8 Land Cruiser, GHc 3.3 million, and on the spot they brought Mr. Naabu GHc 500,000 in GHc 50 notes.

Mr. Naabu then went to the Abbosey Okai branch of the Prudential Bank the next day [Saturday], and deposited the GHc 500,000 in his account, Mr. Hamid narrated.

The NDC later fulfilled the promise of the Mitsubishi, which was delivered to the Mr. Naabu on November 2, and Mr. Hamid showcased the documents of the Mitsubishi V6 to journalists present, which indicated the change in ownership.
