Alfred Mahama, the senior brother of President John Mahama, has
expressed shock at the allegation by the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP) that the party’s Northern Regional chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu,
was offered a bribe by the president and his younger brother, Ibrahim
Mahama, to betray the NPP’s presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The NPP had alleged in a press conference on Tuesday that Mahama gave
Bugri Naabu GHC500,000 cash and a Mistubishi V6 vehicle with the promise
to give him an additional GHc3.3 million and a Toyota Land Cruiser
vehicle if he could say that Akufo-Addo was a divisive figure who hated
northerners.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Wednesday, Alfred Mahama
reiterated the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s denial of the
allegation, describing it as unfortunate and sad.
He said Ibrahim Mahama had been very benevolent to Bugri Naabu in the
past and that he was surprised the NPP chairman stabbed him in the back.

“…When I heard NPP’s allegations, I was sad because it’s false”, he
said, adding: “We won’t bribe Bugri Naabu to join NDC because he will
not add anything to the party”.
It said it was regrettable that Ibrahim Mahama was constantly being
treated unfairly by members of the NPP, who he said had benefitted from
his benevolence.
“Ibrahim is a benevolent man. Many NPP members have benefited from his kindness. I leave them to posterity”, he said
