Deputy Director of Legal Affairs of the NDC, Baba Jamal, has questioned the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party's audacity to respond to corruption allegations levelled against President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo- Addo.
According to him, the response should not have emanated from John Boadu since it was not the party (NDC) that made the comment.
"Extremely Rich" Coming From Gov't Official 1
The NPP General Secretary had fired salvos at Mr. Mahama, accusing him of lacking the moral justification to talk about corruption, let alone accuse the ruling party of same when his administration was plagued with unbridled corruption.
“Former President Mahama asserts without proof that the NPP has stolen Ghana’s money and that, he can ensure accountability through elections. Extremely rich, coming from a party credited by the Supreme Court of Ghana, with the ability to ‘create, loot and share’ public funds with impunity.....Is Mahama, of Government Official One infamy and the Ford vehicle from Kanazoe Contractors, talking about corruption?” Mr Boadu quizzed.
Only A New Gov't Can Make Corrupt NPP Accountable
He was reacting to earlier remarks by Mr Mahama during the first leg of his regional thank you tour that the NPP wants to break the 8 in order to protect itself from corruption.
“You have been in government for 8 years so a new government must come and hold you to account. Why did you do that? Why did you do this? People are happy to run away with the loot that they have made,” Mr Mahama told Radio Tamale in an interview as part of his thank you tour.
Mahama Struggling To Recover From Election Defeat
But at a press conference held Thursday, August 26th, believed the former president is struggling to recover from the 2020 election defeat.
“Apparently, he was deceiving everybody. He hasn’t still accepted his fate. He is still in a campaign mood, stopping at nothing at firing salvos and peddling lies at the current President and the NPP government.....
“Once again we insist that it is clear defeated candidate Mahama is yet to recover from the 2020 election loss. Afte
deceiving a few of his supporters to attempt mayhem on the roads, he has the audacity to talk about averting civil war?“ he said.
Are You Mahama’s Co-equal?
However, it appears the one-time NDC MP for Akwatia has been left bemused that John Boadu is the one reacting to the opposition party’s leader's remarks.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Baba Jamal 4was of the view that it is not just anybody who should respond to comments by the former flagbearer of the party.
He explains that it is only proper for some one of the same caliber of the former president to respond to the corruption charges and other allegations levelled against the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo.
" . . I don't think John Boadu is in any capacity to respond to the former President if he makes comment referring to a particular person who he feels is his co-equal," he said.

The leadership of current NDC will fail NDC as a political again in 2024 elections. They have shallow minds and thinks low in delivery Ex- president Mahama is not president material in today Ghana. His actions and conduct show all round personality . Even you baba what capacity do you have to respond to issue relating to Ghana. Baba is one of the liars pillars NDC propaganda machinery .Even has the space to comment on national issue how much John Aboadu who is more wiser than you all spheres of life. This crop of NDC leadership altitude will prolong NDC stay in opposition once again becuase they think low and behave abnormal.
I wonder how this guy passed his law exams? Hie thinking cup is hollow
For NDC this is their mantra, remember in 2014 john Mahammah said until Nana becomes president he cannot criticize him the president.
Absolutely incomprehensible. Come again Baba. This is all that I can say.
Is John Mahama God? why are you little minded g00n$ in the NDC suffering from inferiority complex? I the likes of a perennial law school failure like Baba Jamal and his ilk can talk about and in fact denigrate the President Nana Addo what is their problem. John Mahama once a fine man but power and corrupti0n has has tainted him so bad that the likes of bootl1ckers of Jamal's calibre will sing his praise.
CRAAAAAAAAP in block letters. Say this to Ofosu Kwakye when he talks traaaash to his grandfather the sitting President. Nsem huunu akwara kwa.
Please Baba don't be a ***barred word***. you are a learned man. Is it John Boadu who let the lid off AIRBUS? Is it John Boadu who investigated the FORD EXPEDITION? Lets be serious as a country. AS for JDM his indemnity period would expire very soon and would be called to Account for his corrupt deeds.
Lawyer with no brains or simple common sense. haha
Who is John Mahama at all? When he was president,nobody should criticize him because no one has come near the presidency. In opposition, no one should respond to whatever he says. Not in our Ghana. Baba Jamah should create his own country, and put "oka anka bi" as president.
If Mahama keeps saying childish things, then he should not be surprised if children respond to him. What kind ex-president talks without thinking? "Not every district needs a hospital" Really? An ex-president will say this? Is he prepared to mention specific districts that don't need hospitals? If he had said looking at our financial constraints, we need to strategize and build the hospitals in such a way that there might not be the need to provide hospitals in every district. That will have been a more mature statement, not the childish things he said.
