Top businessman financing media attacks on Governor?

Informer investigations have revealed that a businessman with close family bond with President John Dramani Mahama, who thinks that he should be the one that all government appointees should bow before, for favours, and is giving the government a heck of trouble.

The Informer has found out that he (name withheld for now) is the one behind the incessant media attacks calling for either resignation or removal of the Governor of Ghana’s Central Bank, Dr. Kofi Wampah.

According to this paper’s intelligence sources, he is the same person financing the media attacks on the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Mr. Seth Terpker.

But what President John Dramani Mahama has shown the family, his relations and many others in the influence peddling business, is that he (President Mahama) is not going to run his government by sponsored media attacks.

Intelligence picked up by The Informer indicates that, this top businessman and family relation of the President has funnily promised certain persons that he will ensure that the Governor is removed; to be replaced by anyone of them.

However, sources close to the Presidency have hinted that the President himself being a communicator and a seasoned politician, has seen through all the tricks and the question he has been asking himself is whether he would not be seen as a President controlled by the media if he succumbs to the unjustifiable media attacks on the Governor; and that is not what he wants to remembered for.

Unnecessary Media Attacks On Governor

In recent times, some media personnel believed to have enslaved themselves to this relative of President Mahama, have been trumpeting all sort of very weird economic theories as the basis for the removal of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.

Some, known school drop-outs, who have no basic knowledge about policy implementation, are implying that the recent directive from the Central Bank withdrawing measures introduced so as to strengthen the cedi, as a failure on the part of the Governor.

According to these morally bankrupt media terrorists, the withdrawal of the February comprehensive measures aimed at stabilizing the currency (cedi), which at the time, had depreciated to about seven percent, smacks of incompetence on the part of Dr. Kofi Wampah; hence the attack and calls on him to resign.

Thank God President John Dramani Mahama clothed with  King Solomon’s wisdom has seen through the tricks of the unprincipled media personalities; and will not fall into the booby-trap set for him to destroy himself in the near future.

To the said President’s relative; readers should stay tuned for some explosives to be released on that personality, who thinks he is the best that has happened to this country.
