The spokesperson of the second respondent of the 2020 election petition, Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B) has said John Dramani Mahama is showing no seriousness in his petition.
According to Nana B, the absence of the petitioner and flagbearer of the NDC in the 2020 election John Dramani Mahama in court and the attitude of his lead counsel Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata clearly indicates their ‘unseriousness’.[ads2]
“I don’t think he [John Mahama] is serious about this case. You have brought a case to the court, he is not going to be in the witness box yet doesn’t appear in court,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
