I Am Not Stupid Or A Coward, Face Me If You’re A Man – Amidu Replies Mahama

The Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu has slammed NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama for tagging him a coward amid the controversial Airbus Scandal.

Mr. Amidu in a statement chided the former President for not having understanding in security issues.

He noted, “The long public service of the Special Prosecutor spanning various aspects of security and intelligence from the period of 1982 to 7th January 2001 and July 2009 to January 2012 makes him more experienced in determining when it is not conducive to the national security interest to foolhardily take certain law and order actions. The Special Prosecutor owes that exercise of discretion to his vast experience over the years, his responsibility to maintain national stability and his conscience as a patriotic anti-corruption crusading Ghanaian. There is no question of stupidity or cowardice about it.”

“Any person aspiring to be President of Ghana for a second term who does not know that a cardinal principle in security and intelligence is that “caution is the better part of valour” was not and is not worth the vote,” the statement added.

The Special Prosecutor further challenged Mr. Mahama to submit himself to be interrogated over the case.

“Your Excellency, the wise and the brave former President John Dramani Mahama, man-up, wise-up, and be brave enough to come with two lawyers of your own choice to be cautioned and interrogated by this Office to demonstrate your valour and wisdom as not being elected Government Official 1 and also as not being the first guarantor to Samuel Adam Mahama’s passport application.”
