Airbus ruling: Subject yourselves to equal probe – Office of Mahama to Akufo-Addo, Bawumia

Akufo-Addo and Bawumia

The Office of former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed profound satisfaction with the ruling by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), which exonerates the former president from allegations in the Airbus scandal. 

According to a statement from Mahama's office, the OSP’s ruling reaffirms what they have always known—that John Dramani Mahama is a man of integrity, committed to the principles of honesty and transparency.

The statement emphasised that the facts of the case have always been clear, and the public has witnessed the ruling government's attempts to exploit this matter for political gain. Despite the UK’s Serious Fraud Office clarifying that Mahama’s brother and others involved had no case to answer, the governing government persisted in framing the scandal as a political tool.

The office also highlighted the OSP's revelation that President Nana Akufo-Addo personally requested the investigation into Mahama, casting further doubt on the motives behind the initial accusations. 

The statement noted that over the last eight years, fabricated stories against Mahama have been consistently proven false, and Mahama has always made himself available for any investigation.

“He has consistently stated that he has nothing to hide and has been ready to cooperate fully with any inquiry,” the statement read.

In the same spirit, the office extended a challenge to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to subject themselves to equal scrutiny and transparency as part of the ongoing fight for accountability in leadership.

The statement stressed that Mahama remains committed to Ghana's progress and the fight against corruption in all its forms. He will continue to advocate a better Ghana for all and will not be deterred by fabrications or political machinations.
