‘Shameless Akufo-Addo accepted money in a brown paper like a mafia chieftain’ – Mahama

Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has denied reports that he has held discussions with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on how to resolve the e-levy misunderstanding.

In a post on social media, the 2020 flagbearer of the NDC said he only met one of the leading members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko.

The former President said they held discussions on wide ranging issues as well on the impasse on the controversial e-levy.

“I received Mr. Gabby Otchere Darko, at his request, at my residence on Tuesday 21st December, 2021.”

“Among issues we discussed was the desire of Ghanaians to see the two major political parties working together for the interest of the nation.”

You’re only good at campaigning but bad at leadership – Mahama replies Akufo-Addo

We discussed, also, how dialogue can be deployed to ensure Parliamentary issues are agreed consensually before coming on the floor to avoid what happened recently in the House.

We further discussed opening channels of communication between the leaders of the two parties including a possible meeting with the President at a future date.

At no time was there any discussion specifically about the President requiring my intervention in the impasse on the E-levy.
