Hajia Fawzia, woman in prez. Nana Addo's alleged 40K bribery video opens up
She revealed that the video was doctored. She gave the 2016 presidential candidate, Nana Addo, 1000 NPP t-shirts plus the 40k out of her benevolence to the party.
“It was before the 2016 elections. I had about 1000 t-shirts which had the pictures of the then-presidential candidate and his vice and added an amount of GH¢40,000 to support Nana. I went there as a party supporter,” she told in the interview.
A video of President Nana Addo has been circulated in the last two days alleging that the first gentleman had accepted 40K bribe from a woman to keep Alhaji Abass , the director of Urban Roads in office.
The NPP has since refuted that by saying the said video was doctored. Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni also jumped to the defense of the president by providing proofs to as to how the video was faked.
He said the original video was pulled down.
Information minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has advised citizens to disregard the bribery allegations levelled against the president.
“Whilst we are not surprised by the new low by the opposition candidate and his party, we remind Ghanaians that they should expect more of such falsehoods and fabrications in the days leading up to the election," he said in a statement.
“It has become clear that candidate Mahama’s failed campaign now sees fake news and fabrications, as well as an amendment of their earlier promises as the only hope to salvage what is going to be another decisive victory for President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party.
“We are disappointed that Mr Mahama and the current NDC leadership will stoop so low with obvious fabrications which they hope can change the minds of Ghanaians. It is and will always be their stock-in-trade.
“The people of Ghana are discerning and will not be swayed by obvious fabrications designed by persons who always seek to bring the name of the Republic into disrepute and sully its image amongst the comity of nations.

“For the avoidance of doubt, President Akufo-Addo has never been involved in any untoward conduct, let alone take a bribe. The original footage of the incident shows it clearly as a 2016 campaign donation and nothing more,” he stressed.
