Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the Airbus 'scandal" as a baseless attempt by the Akufo-Addo government to brand him as a corrupt person. Mr Mahama said the report by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that found no evidence of wrongdoing on his part is a pleasant vindication for him. "We in the NDC do not place ourselves above society,  we are humble and honest enough to submit ourselves to investigative bodies if a basis for it arises.  Relatedly I have been out of office for more than 7 years and several months, and no allegation of wrongdoing has been proven against me including the baseless Airbus brouhaha that this government attempted to clothe me with. "Once again today  I say it is a pleasant feeling to stand vindicated," the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said when he delivered a lecture at the 10th anniversary of the death of PV Obeng in Kumasi on Friday August 9. The OSP after its investigations in the Airbus scandal case has disclosed that John Mahama is 'Government Official One' in the Airbus SE case. John Dramani Mahama, a former President and now flag bearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was Vice President at the time the incident happened. The House also approved a total loan sum of $105,370,177.09 from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) for the purchase of an Embraer E190 jet for the country.
