The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has described the seat of government, Jubilee House, as the “headquarters of misinformation”.

According to him, the Presidency is responsible for creating fake stories, misrepresenting facts, and disseminating same on social media.

Mr. Mahama’s comments come in response to President Akufo-Addo’s claims that his political opponents are conducting a coordinated campaign of misinformation against him and his party

During the Ghana Report Summit, which focused on addressing misinformation and disinformation in the upcoming election, President Akufo-Addo referenced the ‘Agyapadie’ document, alleging it was part of a plot to damage his reputation

But addressing party supporters in the Upper East Region, Mr. Mahama rubbished these claims. He used the platform to urge President Akufo-Addo to address the misinformation originating from his own office.

“The President condemned misinformation and cited the ‘Agyapadie’ document as an example. However, what the President might not realize is that his office, the Flagstaff House, is the headquarters of misinformation,” Mr. Mahama stated.

Also, the NDC’s Director of Elections, Dr Omane Boamah, who was present at the event responded sharply to the allegations made by the President.

He asserted that the opposition is not behind any negative campaign against government and suggested that the President should reflect on the content of the “Agyapadie” document.

Dr Boamah questioned how a document predicting the President’s actions accurately could exist if it were not based on observed behaviour.
