The conduit of the Airbus scandal involving John Dramani Mahama had featured in the famous ‘Agyapadie’ book which the authors say is an Ofori Panin Project
The book which has being dismissed in totality by the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin, President Nana Akufo-Addo and other NPP supporters has gained grounds in the media circles after a section of it reveal the brain behind the instant and spontaneous reaction from the corridors power on the Airbus scandal.
This happened after the United Kingdom (UK) Crown court at Southwark passed its judgment on the Airbus scandal.
A statement at the time signed by the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr Eugene Arhin, noted that in the judgment, between 2009 and 2015 “a number of Airbus employees made or promised success-based commission payments of approximately €5 million to Intermediary 5”, who is said to be “a close relative of a high ranking elected Ghanaian government official (Government Official 1)”.
The statement also indicted that in the resolve by government to fight; it has referred the matter to the Special Prosecutor.
However, page 33 of the ‘Agyapadie’ book outlined a scheme of things are to play with the Airbus scandal to indict former President, John Dramani Mahama, the NDC’s presidential candidate.
The very portion read “the 2020 elections will not be easy for us with current happenings, we need to sit up. Why are we so quiet on the Airbus scandal, Yes we know we haven’t found enough to indict Mahama but a lot of Ghanaians were buying into our approach, why have we stopped! It is time to go back to the drawing board. We must make sure we use the court system to help us damage the NDC beyond repair. Let us start prosecuting people. That is why we put our people there. Otherwise we have a problem”.
