Newly elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddie Blay has descended heavily on Former President John Dramani Mahama after he made mockery of him for procuring a loan facility from a bank widely speculated to be owned by the latter’s brother.
Freddy Blay has dared the former president and the NDC to expose him if they find any wrongdoing in the transaction details with the bank.
The loan was arranged to enable Freddie Blay to realise his ambition of providing 275 buses for the various constituencies in the country.
To this day, 100 out of the planned 275 has arrived awaiting distribution and an outstanding 175 buses yet to be delivered.
John Mahama, on 6th July, took to his twitter timeline to throw jabs at the NPP and Freddie Blay for relying on a bank that was linked to his brother, Ibrahim Mahama to finance a project for their party.
The Former President who is seeking to lead the NDC into the 2020 polls for the second time tweeted, “$11.4 million Freddie Blay buses ahead of NPP election financed by Universal Merchant Bank? I thought Merchant Bank was sold to my brother, Ibrahim? So Ibrahim Mahama's bank financed the 275 buses for Blay & NPP? LOL!”
