The Deputy National TESCON
Coordinator, Raphael Sarfo Patrick, has alleged that former president John
Mahama has not been able to travel to the United Kingdom because of his
complicity in the Airbus scandal.
Mr Sarfo Patrick explained that
the former president’s involvement in the alleged Airbus deal has restricted
him from traveling to the United Kingdom because he is scared of being arrested
by the UK-based Serious Fraud Office (SFO), which investigated the scandal.
Speaking on Akoma FM‘s weekend
political show ‘Wonsom’, the Deputy Coordinator of New Patriotic Party’s student wing explained that “the former
president who is now the flagbearer for NDC has never been to the United
Kingdom since 2017 to date because of the stinking Airbus corrupt deal which he
appears to be the Government Official 1”.
The immediate past Special
Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, in a report on the infamous Agyapa Royalties
Transaction had stated that all evidence point to Mr. Mahama as Government
Official 1 but cannot be investigated as a result of the impending elections.
Ralph Sarfo Patrick further
alleged that “Mahama, the Government Official 1 is now scared to travel to the
UK because he is now wanted by the court officials of the UK SFO for
investigations and apprehension”.
Refuting the allegations, former
Obuasi MCE Kwasi Ofori Agyemang explained that “Mr. Mahama has not been
implicated in the Airbus scandal with any substantive basis and legal backing
for proof”.
Zuba, as he is popularly known,
further rebutted that “John Mahama is not wanted and has the free will to
travel to wherever he wants, so I don’t know where this propaganda is coming
from”.
