We all thank Ibrahim for providing the President all these transportation till government own transportation sorted out. But are the services free of government is paying now or later. Just answer that question now please?

The President and his brother did not learn any lesson about politics from their previous dealings with Ghanaian banks and loans not being repaid because his brother was the president. There should have been a bill assign to this deal and put to Ghanaians. When these shady things are done under the site of the common Ghanaian how do you expect them to understand that it is to the benefit of Ghana and not todeepen the family purse. Hiding things from your people only make the trust in government even less and less and makes democracy a laughable entity. Good luck ruling Ghana because we are in a mess.YEN

Seriously, why would Felix waste his time explaining? It is common sense. The President has not moved to Flagstaff House because it is under renovation. He is in his house; how about that? Those making noise are the NPPigs wanting equalisation on the hiring of a private jet by Akufo-Addo at £20,000 an hour. As long as the use of the jet by President Mahama incurs no cost to the state, Felix should ignore them. If Ghanaians would remember, it was these same NPP fellows who made noise to stop Ibrahim when he was dredging the Odorno Lagoon for free, and when Nana Addo and the NPP came to power, they allocated $47 million for the same job, which was not done, and part of the money was found in Cecilia Dapaa's bedroom, who was the responsible minister. So Felix should take the cue; it is not all the noise that he must respond to.

President Mahama is stoking unnecessary controversy. He should FLEE from private jets. Simple and short.

Now they( Npp) are ready to question the use of one sheet of A4 paper to write a personal note or letter. That is extent of scrutiny they are prepared to go when it involves Mr Mahama and the Ndc as a whole. When Mr Akufo Addo scaled a jump of 2 feet, he was applauded for doing something great but let Mr. Mahama jump 2x (4 feet) or even 3x(6 feet) all they will say is " what is special about this jump others have scaled higher heights "
In all honesty, would Nana Addo had used a plane previously used by Mahama without the necessary security sweep? The Npp always underestimate the superior stratagem of the Ndc which very often had caused them dearly. For strategic reasons they are allowing the Npp to have a dribbling field day on the pitch for the applause of spectators ( Ghanaians) but in 6 months everybody's smoothness level will be established.

Sweeping an aircraft for bugs is only a one day job. This is a routine undertaken by the military I believe every 2 years for all sensitive government installations. Please stop the long excuses. Tell us Mahama wants to have the plane refurbished to his taste and I can understand that. We are waiting to see how much of the public purse will be expended on refurbishing the aircraft which is already in excellent shape according master engineer Okujato Ablakwa.

I believe the private jet of Ibrahim Mahama belongs to John Airbus Mahama and using the brother as a front. A thief is always a thief no matter what you do to him. They should rather tell us the jet is for John Airbus and not Ibrahim's own.
