\n
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of operating a covert fake news operation aimed at spreading misinformation to tarnish his image.<\/p>\n
During a visit to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Tuesday, November 3, as part of his campaign tour in the Ashanti Region, Mahama alleged that this disinformation campaign is part of a deliberate strategy to undermine his credibility ahead of the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
Addressing specific claims, Mahama urged the Asantehene to disregard reports accusing him of orchestrating an attack on his convoy in Techiman. He dismissed such allegations as baseless and intended to sow discord.<\/p>\n
Mahama emphasized his commitment to peaceful campaigns and expressed his desire for credible and transparent elections, urging all stakeholders to prioritize unity and national interest over divisive tactics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe seat of government knows about the recent propagation of fake news\u2026Because their campaign has failed, they have resorted to lying and propagating fake news.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I know God knows everyone\u2019s heart, and just as He enstools kings, He will have mercy on us and enstool His king,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
