New Patriotic Party (NPP)
Communications Director, Nana
Akomea says the president giving 'money' to a few people during a campaign tour cannot be described as 'sharing' money.
He said the video shows the President single out some people and handing what was said to be money to them.
Speaking on Joy FM/MultiTV's news analysis program, Newsfile Saturday, he said it could be the President was showing concern to a hawker whose wares might have been scattered as the convoy was passing. In the video President John Mahama
is seen handing over something to traders at Abossey Okai during his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region.
Some critics say President was buying votes, however, Nana Akomea said this does not qualify as a vote-buying incident although other incidents else where by the president qualify.
“That is something people have not taken notice of presidents don’t carry money around. I never knew until I got to the presidency” he said.
