Your ‘Stupidity’ Comment Against Amidu Was Unpresidential – Gyampo Chides Mahama
Senior political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof Ransford Gyampo has criticised former president John Dramani Mahama for labeling Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu Stupid.
Mahama in reaction to having his name in Amidu’s Agyapa corruption risk assessment report as Government official 1 in the Airbus scandal could not comprehend why Amidu would mix investigations on Agyapa with Airbus.
In reaction Gyampo noted, “In my view, if he feels he is not culpable of anything involving the Airbus scandal, it is within his right to do so, but the extent to which he descended …Elsewhere, if you ask this question, people may not take offence, but in our body politic when you use that word people will feel offended, especially going into a keenly contested election.
But to say that, ‘What sort of stupidity is this?’, I thought it was something that should not have come from former President Mahama. I know his demeanour and persona. That is not typical of him and that should not be typical of somebody who wants to become a president,” Prof Gyampo lamented.
