The New Patriotic Party (NPP) threatened to sue all media houses that are televising a video alleging that President Akufo-Addo took a bribe of $40,000.
The NPP’s Deputy Campaign Manager, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid made this known at a press conference on Wednesday, December 2, 2020.
According to him, it was unethical for the media to be sharing a video that defames the President.
He said; “It’s all over social media. Yesterday, they even dared to show it on a television station. We are coming after that television station,” he said.
“It is defamatory on the President of Ghana. It is unethical and unprofessional. You take old videos of campaign donation and distort it, seeking to make it look like a recent video, come on. Is the NDC too incompetent to fake a video correctly? You want to run a nation and can’t even fake things.”
“Listen to the narrative they attached to the video, that the president took a bribe of $40,000. This in 2016 was equivalent to GHS168,000. Really? And they think that people will believe? Let’s even escalate it to $40,000 at the current rate, that will give GHS230,000. It cannot even buy the engine of the Ford expedition that candidate Mahama took.”
