H.E. John Mahama Addresses Allegations of Airbus and Dubai Hotel Involvement Amidst NPP Accusations

In a fervent response to accusations leveled by the opposition National Patriotic Party (NPP), former President John Dramani Mahama has emphatically addressed allegations concerning his purported involvement in the Airbus scandal and ownership of a luxury hotel in Dubai. The accusations, which have been fervently circulated by NPP officials, claim that Mahama was implicated in corrupt dealings during his tenure.

Speaking at a press conference earlier today, Mahama refuted these claims as baseless and politically motivated. “The allegations of my involvement in the Airbus scandal and ownership of a hotel in Dubai are categorically false and malicious,” Mahama stated. He emphasized that these allegations were part of a broader smear campaign orchestrated by the NPP to discredit his reputation and undermine his political standing.

The Airbus scandal, which has been a focal point of recent political discourse, alleges that government officials in several countries, including Ghana, received bribes as part of a deal with the European aircraft manufacturer. Mahama clarified that neither he nor his associates had any involvement in such activities. “I have always maintained a commitment to transparency and integrity throughout my career,” he asserted.

Addressing the Dubai hotel allegations, Mahama dismissed claims that he owned any property in Dubai. “These claims are not only false but also serve as a distraction from the critical issues facing our nation,” he remarked. He urged the public to remain focused on the pressing economic and social challenges confronting Ghana rather than engaging in divisive political tactics.

Mahama concluded by reaffirming his commitment to serving the people of Ghana and called for a fair and impartial investigation into the allegations against him. “I am confident that the truth will prevail,” he affirmed, urging his supporters to remain steadfast in their support.

As the political landscape in Ghana continues to evolve, Mahama’s response to these allegations marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over transparency and accountability in government affairs.
