The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Jubilee House of orchestrating a campaign of fake news on social media aimed at undermining him and his political efforts.
Speaking at a mini-rally in the Asene Manso Akroso constituency in the Eastern Region on Tuesday, Mahama alleged that the seat of government has become the hub of misinformation targeting him and others.
His remarks came after the Chief of Akyem Akroso, Nana Kwabena Ofori, issued a disclaimer denying reports that he had endorsed NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during a recent visit.
He called on Ghanaians to be vigilant and verify information, urging them not to fall prey to misinformation campaigns as the 2024 elections approach.
“While Nana was speaking, he said journalists should be careful and not misconstrue him. Nana, it is not the journalists; it is the Jubilee House. That is where people are misconstrued. It is called fake news when what you have not said is reported as something you have said.
“It is not the right thing, but they have done it to me, they have done it to you, and a lot of people. So, all fake news on social media comes from the Jubilee House,” he stated.
