Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Bismark Aborbi-Ayitey, has called upon President Nana Akufo Addo to respond to recent revelations involving Bugri Naabu, the former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Aborbi-Ayitey’s plea comes in the wake of a recent audio recording in which Bugri Naabu is heard in discussion with senior police officers about a plot to remove the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akufo-Dampare.
During a panel discussion on Peace FM on August 30, 2023, Aborbi-Ayitey pointed out specific comments made by Bugri Naabu during a parliamentary committee hearing.
He expressed his concerns about Bugri Naabu’s alleged reference to the President’s involvement in the matter. Aborbi-Ayitey emphasized the need for the President to address these allegations and hold Bugri Naabu accountable for making such claims.
Aborbi-Ayitey also highlighted the gravity of these allegations, drawing a parallel with former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu’s characterization of President Akufo Addo as the “mother serpent of all corruption.”
To safeguard the President’s reputation and credibility, Aborbi-Ayitey argued that decisive action against Bugri Naabu is imperative.
“This is the President who is on record according to Martin Amidu, saying he is the mother serpent of all corruption.
“He should punish Bugri Naabu for spreading lies about him. If he fails to take action, similar to his handling of the Nyantakyi case, we will have to accept the unfortunate reality that our President is corrupt.”
