Allegations made by Murtala Mohammed against the Senior Minister, Mr Yaw Osafo Maafo have been described as libelous and untruthful.
Murtala Mohammed a former Deputy Minister for Trade Minister in the John Mahama-led NDC administration during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji programme over the weekend alleged that Osafo Maafo is the "most corrupt politician" he has ever come into contact with.
“I can’t see any corrupt politician than Osafo Maafo. Perhaps, within the NPP he may not be the most corrupt but I say that he is the most corrupt politician that I have ever seen…he has to explain to us how that building was completed only when he was appointed a senior minister…”
Murtala Mohammed wants him (Osafo) to tell Ghanaians how he managed to complete a building which was at a foundation level for years immediately after being appointed as a minister.
“Go to Pillar two (Dome, a suburb in Accra), there is a building there and my understanding is that the building belongs to Mr Osafo Maafo; it was just foundation for over ten years. Mr Osafo Maafo didn’t even have a dime to buy blocks to raise it. Go and see that building today in less than a year.
"Mr Osafo Maafo should tell us where he got that money to do that…and let no one tell me that oh he had money. If he had money, is it not curious that he didn’t see the need to raise that building for almost ten years or more and he has suddenly raised that building from foundation to completion?”
However, Alhaji Ibrahim, an estate developer in charge of the construction of the building in question has denied claims made by the former MP.
According to him, the building does not belong to the Senior Minister.
“It is never true that the building Murtala Mohammed is referring to was built by the senior minister and also started, ten [10] years ago. The land belongs to him [Mr Osafo Maafo] but he didn’t invest a penny into the construction of the building”.
“I am an estate developer and all that I do is to build and rent…I met Osafo Maafo few years ago and told him of my intention to build on his land. After glancing through my contract submitted to him [Mr Osafo Maafo] he agreed and gave me the go-ahead to take over his land. There was nothing on that land until I started developing…
He also added that “I started the building long before Mr. Osarfo Marfo was elected as the Senior Minister for the current government”.

it is high time N.P.P, should start tanking these N.D.C. liars to court. they are rather always treating with court cases. look at okudzeto ablakwa.
Take him to court and let him learn some sense
NDC want to use any diabolic means to tag their brand(CORRUPTION) to the NPP but Ghanaians know better than them(NDC)
As for me I ve never like that man Murtala. He is disrespectful politician I have ever seen in my life. He talk anyhow to people and not even telling the truth. but i dont blame him because lie to be paid so that he can also eat.
These kind of stories confirm that most of the things we are told are in deed false. I have lived very close to the said land for over a decade and very familiar with the developments there. Osafo Marfo's wife operated a small container coldstore until somewhere 2014 when that land and some others were said to be leased to one Ibrahim. Initially people said Ibrahim Mahama, then it turned out to be some young Alhaji not even related to Mahama, who eventually transformed the landscape of K-Boat Junction. Politicians dey lie too much
IT IS TIME THESE NDC GUYS ARE TAKEN TO COURT. LOOK AT THIS SMALL BOY CALLED MURTALA MOHAMMED DISGRACING SOMEBODY WHO COULD BE HIS FATHER, OR EVEN BE OLDER THAN HIS FATHER, BECAUSE OF POLITICS. NO, THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. EVEN IF ANYTHING AT ALL, DON'T DESCRIBE THE SENIOR MINISTER IN SUCH WORDS.!!!!
THIS IS S.TU.P.I.D.T.Y IN THE HIGHEST. MURTALA MUST ANSWER FOR VILIFICATION OF A SENIOR MINISTER.
Please go ahead and sue Murtala
