This is the view expressed by former President John Dramani Mahama who agrees with Amidu’s labelling of President Akufo-Addo as the ‘Mother Serpent of Corruption.’“This government is just paying lip service to the fight against corruption, just lip service. Look at the Special Prosecutor’s office, someone like Martin Amidu is a lawyer, a one-time deputy Attorney General and a senior lawyer of his standing. “And for a person of his stature to resign and say the President is the ‘Mother Serpent of Corruption,’ it is a very serious charge because he has his basis. “If your own Special Prosecutor describes you as the Mother Serpent of Corruption, what else do you need anybody to say about your fight against corruption?” he quizzed. That was when it was divinely revealed to me that the President whom I trusted so much for integrity only looked like the innocent flower of anti-corruption but he was really the mother corruption serpent under the innocent-looking flower," he added.
