General News of Tuesday, 30 August 2016Source: classfmonline.comMahama paid $2.5m to cook cancer story against Akufo-Addo – NPPNana Akufo-AddoPresident John Mahama paid Steve Malory, Editor of Africawatch magazine, $2.5million to publish the recent ‘cancer story’ about Nana Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the party’s Director of Elections, has alleged. Mr Korsah told Chief Jerry Forson on Accra100.5FM’s breakfast show Ghana Yensom on Tuesday, 30 August that Mr Mahama hired Mr Malory and paid him the amount to carry out the hatchet job against his arch political opponent ahead of the 7 December polls. He said as a result of the payment made by Mr Mahama to Mr Malory, Africawatch magazine has always published positive stories about the President. According to him, instead of the NPP confronting Africawatch magazine and the hospital that was named in the publication about the revelation, the elephant party is rather accusing President Mahama and the NDC of being behind the publication. It is a pure lie, especially because he [Mr Korsah] has not adduced any evidence to prove his claim.” In his view, the behaviour of the NPP was rather giving credence to the publication.
