Bribes: NDC Man Dares Prez Mahama To Follow Him To Antoa…
A senior member of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) has challenged President John
Mahama to swear before the dreaded Antoa deity as
a means of proving that he is indeed not corrupt.

George Boateng says he doubts the President’s
claim of never taking a bribe in his life, hence
the challenge.

“There is no way I would believe the claim of
the President that he is not corrupt. If President
Mahama believes in himself that he is indeed not
corrupt, I am challenging him to follow me to
Antoa…yes, I will drag him to Antoa myself, so
that he would come and swear that indeed he has
never taken bribe…I doubt…,” he said on
Accra-based Oman FM’s on Thursday.

The President during an interview on BBC’s Focus
on Africa said he has never taken a bribe.

“Any human being in the world would have
encountered corruption one way or the other,
either being offered a bribe or a bribe being
demanded from you. What you need to do is to put
yourself in a position to (resist it)…

.

When the interviewer, Peter Okwoche, asked him
directly if he has taken a bribe, Mr. Mahama
responded: “No, I haven’t taken bribe”.

This response has not gone down well with some
Ghanaians, with many describing the President as
one who did not tell the truth.

Former scribe of the New Patriotic Party, Lawyer
Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, also known as Sir John
claimed the President lied to the international
community.

“John Mahama is not an angel and he knows that
he has several scars on him as a politician…he
is a constant receiver of bribes…,” he said on
Adom FM Friday.

George Boateng, who was disqualified from
contesting the President at the 2015 primaries of
the NDC, said he was also certain the President
takes bribes.

He has thus challenged the President to come with
him and swear before the dreaded Antoa deity in
Kumasi to back up his claim of innocence.
