Return car gift – Group tells Mahama

Mass Action for Development, a pressure group, is calling on President John Dramani Mahama, to return the Ford Expedition gifted him by Burkinabe contractor, Djibril Kanazoe, who was offered several contracts by the Government of Ghana, one of them being a $650,000 deal to fence a tract of land around Ghana’s mission in Burkina Faso.

According to the group, the acceptance of the vehicle revealed how corrupt Mr Mahama was and made Ghana a subject of public ridicule and mockery in the international community.

A statement issued and signed by Buckman Akuffo, Director of Communications and Research of the pressure group, indicated: “President Mahama is gradually making Ghana a laughing stock among the nations by his unabated acts of corruption. We appeal to level-headed personalities in the NDC to bring the president to order, for he is disgracing the nation and destroying Ghana with his love and unabated greed for money.”

It added: “If President Mahama, at a time of serving his first term can tell Ghanaians he is a ‘dead goat’, then what would be made of it when given his last term, where he needs no mandate of the good people of Ghana again? In the unlikely event of Mr Mahama winning the next elections, he would be more reckless as ever from 2017; Ghanaians would suffer stiffer and sky-rocketing economic hardships. The second term of the ‘dead goat’ will eventually collapse our motherland.”

The statement further called on all Ghanaians to speak against the act of the president and help salvage the country from corrupt individuals.

“We implore all and sundry to pray for Ghana and actively be involved in the fight to salvage Ghana from complete shutdown. Pastors, Imams, students, workers and indeed everyone who has Ghana at heart should get involved in redeeming Ghana,” the statement said.
