John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the Jubilee House of orchestrating a social media campaign of fake news aimed at undermining his political ambitions.
Addressing a mini-rally in the Asene Manso Akroso constituency in the Eastern Region on Tuesday, November 19, Mahama alleged that the seat of government had become a center for spreading misinformation designed to discredit him and others.
Mahama’s remarks came after Nana Kwabena Ofori, the Chief of Akyem Akroso, refuted claims that he had endorsed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, during a recent visit.
In his address, Mahama called on Ghanaians to stay vigilant and carefully verify information before accepting it as true, especially as the 2024 elections draw closer.
He emphasized the need to fight misinformation, stating, “While Nana was speaking, he said journalists should be careful not to misconstrue his words. But Nana, it is not the journalists—it is the Jubilee House.
That is where people’s words are twisted. It is called fake news when something you didn’t say is reported as something you said.”
Mahama further asserted, “They’ve done it to me, to you, and to many others. All the fake news circulating on social media originates from the Jubilee House.”
