Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has dared the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to challenge President Mahama in court.
According to him, if the NPP still insists the President’s car gift was a kickback – then they should assemble their legal brains headed by their flagbearer, Nana Addo, to meet them in court.
He noted on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ that, the president has proven his innocence, and that must be respected.
“The president has stated that the allegation is baseless. So if they [NPP] don’t understand, then this is an opportunity for Nana Addo to wear his law gown and wig and prove that he is a real lawyer and go to court. If he does that and sues the President, Ghanaians will vote for him,” he said.
Koku Anyidoho’s challenge comes after President Mahama on his ‘Accounting to the People’ tour in Tema called on his accusers to use the appropriate constitutional processes against him if, indeed, they have any evidence of corruption against him, adding that peddling of such rumours will not win them the elections.
The NDC’s Deputy Scribe also rubbished calls by the NPP for a non-partisan body to investigate the President’s bribery case.
“That will not help; Nana Addo should lead a crusade and go to court. I am challenging Nana Addo, who is a lawyer to go back to his law firm and go to court,” he opined.
