The former president issued a statement debunking these claims, describing them as unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>And after earlier stating that Mr. Nitiwul\u2019s claims were reckless, Madam Mogtari is now calling for him to apologise to the former Head of State and his family.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Eyewitness News, she said: \u201cI will call on him to do what is needful; to extend an appropriate apology to the former president and to his office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She stressed further that Mr. Nitiwul could have used more appropriate avenues to air his concerns over the land issues instead of ranting to the media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe there are several modes that he could have used to approach the office of the former president\u2026 He could have easily have called me. He could have sent me a text message. None of this was done. In any case, no effort has been made to reach the Office of the former president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026I believe we should all take this matter very very seriously. No private individual, no minster should engage the nation and use the name of the former president in such disparaging terms\u2026 I think his comments were most unfortunate,\u201d Madam Mogtari added.<\/p>\n<p><b>Defence of Mahama<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As far as the allegations are concerned, Madam Mogtari, in a stern statement released on Thursday, asserted that Mr. Mahama had not taken possession of any land owned by the military.<\/p>\n<p>The statement added that the property in which the former first family currently resides has been at the site for years.<\/p>\n<p>A former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources under the National Democratic Congress [NDC], administration, Inusah Fuseini, who also owns a property on a supposed military land, said the suggested lands were no longer in the custody of the military when they were sold out.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 9 December 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-12-09 Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Former President John Mahama\u2019s Special Aide John Dramani Mahama\u2019s Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari is demanding an apology from the Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, for what she described as disparaging claims he recently made against the former president.
