John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has labeled the Jubilee House as the “headquarters of misinformation.”
He claims that fake stories are created and spread from there. Speaking during his campaign in Binduri on Sunday, August 4, the former President urged the current president to address the issue of misinformation starting from his own residence.
“Yesterday, I went to Bawku Naba’s palace and he spoke about the issue of carving out another region to encompass the six constituencies in this area.
“I explained that there were constitutional processes that needed to be gone through and that the criteria were 1, economic viability, 2, land size and 3, population. Aside from that a petition must be presented, and a commission of inquiry must be set up to look at the feasibility of creating a region.
“Then in the evening, I saw a fake news story misrepresenting completely what I said and trying to put me against the Mamprugu state. I never mentioned Mamprugu Yesterday at all, I was just comparing land size and region and economic viability.
“The president comes with misinformation and he used the Agyapadie document as an example of misinformation but probably what the president doesn’t know is that his office, the Flagstaff House is the headquarters of misinformation.
“That is where the fake stories, misrepresent what people have said and feed it into social media, his own office is where they do that so he should clean his house first before he talks about misinformation in other places.”
