The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party has assured President Mahama that he would soon taste the bitterest pill of his life when it is established that the vehicle gift he took from a Burkinabe contractor, is an act of corruption.

Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiko, told Peacefmonline.com in an interview that the defensive approach adopted by President Mahama and his ministers on the matter makes it easier to tell that he has committed a crime he wished nobody knew of.

He however added that acts of corruption would have to be proven by an appropriate quarter and if it should even take years to do that, President Mahama and his allies would not be spared “jail time”.   

“This matter isn’t going to die anytime soon. Mahama would face the music and smell pepper if it is established that the Burkinabe contractor corrupted him with that car gift. He would end up in jail”, he said.

President Mahama has dismissed allegations of corruption leveled against him concerning a vehicle gift story uncovered by a journalist with Joy FM.

In an address to the chiefs and people of Ashaiman during his “Accounting to the People” tour of the Greater Accra Region, President Mahama challenged anyone with evidence of corruption against him to take him on by invoking the Constitution of Ghana.

"When you make baseless rumours and accusations, it won’t win you the Presidency. The people of Ghana are discerning and I believe that come November 7, they will make their decision," he said.

But Mr. Boasiko aka Chairman ‘Wontumi’ insisted that the rumours were not baseless and he is often saddened by the president's choice of words when he is upset or riled for some obvious reasons.
