General Secretary of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, popularly known as “General Mosquito” said if Bugri Naabu, the Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was certain about allegation against former President Mahama then he is credible to accuse his own party.
The Chairman, Bugri Naabu had earlier accused the regional minister and his colleague in the Akufo-Addo government of being involved in the plot that led to the murder of Adams Mahama, the late NPP’s Upper East regional chairman.
“You’ll be surprised that some of these people who masterminded the killing of Adams have come to take positions in the government…like the Upper East Regional Minister. He was deeply involved in masterminded the killing of Adams,” Mr. Naabu told Radio XYZ.
Prior to 2016 December polls, the NPP presented documents which the party said proved that Ibrahim Mahama, the former president Mahama’s brother, gave Bugri Naabu GHC500,000 cash and a brand new Mitsubishi V6 vehicle to portray Akufo-Addo as someone who hates Northerners.
Mustapha Hamid, the spokesperson to Nana Akufo-Addo, who addressed the press conference, said President Mahama and his team had “not relented in their evil ways and means to use our own people to work against the NPP”.
He maintained Ibrahim Mahama and one Mohammed Awal met Bugri Naabu on Friday, November 25, and offered to pay him GHC3.3 million if he could paint Akufo-Addo “as a rabid anti-northern person who could never be trusted to advance the people of the north.
But it is with this that Mr Asiedu Nketia said, If Bugri Naabu was authentic to claim ex-President Mahama dashed him a V8 Vehicle with a huge sum of money, then likewise he is credible enough to accuse his own party of killing their late Upper East regional chairman.
“If Bugri Naabu was credible enough to claim Mahama dashed him a V8 Vehicle together with a huge sum of money, deposited into his account, then that same man is credible enough to accuse his own party of killing their chairman…”
When asked by the host on Okay FM if he would believe anger led to the venting of Bugri Naabu hence the public should be swayed from considering the matter, he stated only true anger can cause one to override inhibitions.
He further disclosed that, if Mustapha Hamid, the spoke person of President Akufo-Addo supported Naabu then it increases the credibility to believe the ‘truthful’ words of Bugri Naabu.
“It is anger that leads you to override your inhibitions. Mustapha Hamid is the spoke person of the president and if he stated Bugri Naabu was truthful to the Mahama brouhaha then it means the matter of killing their party chairman is true…”
According to Mr Nketia, “Anger doesn’t provoke lies. It lowers inhibitions…just like alcohol; anger clears away shyness to allow the truth to prevail. Bugri Naabu isn’t telling lies…” General Mosquito maintained.
