“And so what?” – Opeele slams critics over Mahama using his brother’s private jet

Former coach of Asante Kotoko, Isaac Opeele Boateng, has jumped to the defence of President John Dramani Mahama for using his brother, Ibrahim Mahama’s, private jet.

According to him, since using the jet does not cost the nation any money, there should not be a problem.

He noted that President Mahama has been gracious to the nation compared to how the previous government spent heavily on private jets for international travels.

Coach Opeele chided those criticizing the president and rejected claims of conflict of interest.

“What is so wrong with President Mahama using his brother’s private plane to save Ghana money?

“Some say it will bring conflict of interest. And so what? We saw one family do worse to Ghana in eight years. Mahama is even charitable; I wish he chartered Emirates Airline instead,” he wrote on X.

This comes after some Ghanaians expressed concerns over President Mahama’s use of a private jet for his recent state visits to Gambia and Senegal.

The president, who embarked on the visits, used the “Dzata” private jet, an aircraft owned by his brother, Ibrahim Mahama.
