Amidu is Working Against Mahama – Woyome

The embattled businessman Alfred Abesi Woyome has blamed former Attorney General Martin Amidu of permitting himself to be used as a conduit to torment President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Giving an account of what is happening, Mr. Woyome suspects that Mr Amidu is being used by some unscrupulous people for some selfish gains.

The Supreme Court has granted an application by Mr Amidu to cross-examine the businessman over the controversial GHC51 million that was paid by the State.  The ruling came after an initial application to cross-examine him orally by the attorney General was withdrawn.

Addressing a press conference on Friday in Accra, Mr Woyome labelled the citizen vigilante as a bitter man who cannot get over the fact that the late President John Mills chose Mr. Mahama as his running mate in 2008 and subsequently won the polls.

“He felt that he must be the vice president. When the current president was chosen as vice, Martin went haywire. He was given an office at the Castle [then seat of government], still he was causing troubles everywhere. …Martin has a problem…he is being used by unseen forces as a weapon against Ghanaians and against the President” he stated.
