A PETITION FOR THE INVITATION OF EX PRESIDENT MAHAMA TO GIVE HIS TESTIMONY WITH REGARD TO HIS PUBLIC COMMENTARY ON THE AWW BY- ELECTION INCIDENT
I am a Ghanaian citizen who lives in sefwi wiawso. The work of the commission of inquiry is of an utmost importance in unraveling the mysteries that surrounded the just ended by- election at Ayawaso West Wuogon. As a citizen of the Republic of Ghana, it is my duty to assist the commission in any other form to get to the core of this disturbing issue which is currently before this commission pursuant to article 278 of the 1992 constitution of the Republic of Ghana.

Sir, Ex president mahama on the 13th day of February gathered some foreign diplomats and made an audio visual presentation to them by way of cataloging what characterized the just ended by-election. In his presentation, he adduced video evidence to support his claim and pointed out to these diplomats that, those who were deployed that very day were actually not security men but members believed to associated with the invicible forces(militia group). He further corroborated his evidence with a video of men dressed in a security uniform who were dancing at a funeral grounds and alleged that, those were the people who were deployed on the election day to unleash violence on innocent Ghanaians.

Thank You
