Mahama hails OSP ruling, reaffirms commitment to integrity

The Office of former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed deep satisfaction with the ruling by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that exonerates the former president from any allegations related to the Airbus scandal.

In a statement released following the OSP’s ruling, Mahama’s office highlighted the decision as a reaffirmation of the former president’s integrity and dedication to honesty and transparency throughout his political career.

“The OSP’s ruling reaffirms what we have always known: John Dramani Mahama is a man of integrity, a leader committed to the principles of honesty and transparency,” the statement read.

Mahama’s team also took the opportunity to address the political context surrounding the scandal, criticizing what they described as attempts by the current government to leverage the issue for political gain.

The statement signed by special aide Joyce Bawah Mogtari, pointed out that despite the UK’s Serious Fraud Office having previously cleared Mahama’s brother and others involved, the ruling government continued to frame the matter as a tool for political advantage.

A significant revelation in the OSP’s ruling, according to Mahama’s office, was that President Nana Akufo-Addo had personally requested an investigation into Mahama. This, the statement claimed, casts further doubt on the motivations behind the original accusations, which were allegedly designed to tarnish Mahama’s reputation.

“The lies and fabricated stories against President Mahama over the last eight years have been consistently proven false,” the statement asserted, emphasizing that Mahama has always been willing to cooperate with any investigation, standing firm in his belief that he has nothing to hide.

In a bold challenge, Mahama’s office called on Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to subject themselves to the same level of scrutiny and transparency, underscoring the need for accountability across all levels of leadership.
