John Dramani Mahama has forcefully denied claims made by Rev. Owusu Bempah that he is plotting evil against certain government officials inclusively Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia.
Mahama said it is disgraceful that a supposed man of God would make such baseless accusations just for cheap political points.
Rev. Owusu Bempah claimed in an interview with Oman FM that Mahama was scheming to eliminate Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The preacher also alleged that the former president has evil intentions against Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, and the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
But in a statement signed by his Special Aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, Mahama said not only is Owusu Bempah biased, but his claims are also false.
In direct response to the said accusations, I am directed by Mr. Mahama to state that the claims of the said pastor are false. They remain imaginations of a warped mind and effusions of a politically-tainted founder of a church who would say and do anything to attract attention to himself,” the statement reads.
It added: “As a known surrogate of the Akufo-Addo government, the said Owusu Bempah’s statements are clearly calculated to distract the attention of the suffering masses of Ghana from the mounting issues of bad governance, corruption, insecurity, hardship and dishonesty.”
Read the full statement below:
The attention of former President John Dramani Mahama has been drawn to claims made by a certain Pastor Owusu Bempah on Oman FM on 7th March, 2019 accusing the former president of planning to commit a crime.
In direct response to the said accusations, I am directed by Mr. Mahama to state that the claims of the said pastor are false. They remain imaginations of a warped mind and effusions of a politically-tainted founder of a church who would say and do anything to attract attention to himself.
As a known surrogate of the Akufo-Addo government, the said Owusu Bempah’s statements are clearly calculated to distract the attention of the suffering masses of Ghana from the mounting issues of bad governance, corruption, insecurity, hardship and dishonesty.
It is disgraceful that someone who claims to be a prophet of God would readily agree to be used to broadcast lies emanating from a vivid imagination instead of preaching the word of God. Never in the entire account of the bible has there been any anointed prophet of God who only praises a king and turns a blind eye to the evils committed in his reign.
Mr. Mahama would also like to take this opportunity to assure the good people of Ghana that he remains the peaceful, focused, people-loving, and gentle politician that he has always been.
He will not be distracted by the deliberately planned and concocted stories to keep afloat a scandal-mongering campaign against him by the ruling party.”
