Private legal practitioner and social activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor has shared some strong words of caution with Ghanaian business mogul and philanthropist Ibrahim Mahama - and he's not sugarcoating it.
In a post that's making the rounds online, Oliver wrote: "I am not Ibrahim Mahama.
And I may never accumulate that much wealth or perception of wealth in my life.But if he listens to advice from broke nobodies, then I think his lawsuit against Bright Simons was a bad idea." He continued by stressing that this isn't just about legal grounds but also about public perception and political consequences. "A well-rounded legal advisor's role is to help check your impulses; not enable them because nokofio or if not that, out of deference." Oliver then made a humble appeal to the business titan: "I will urge him to withdraw it, if I am the kind of person whose views he finds worthy.Shalom!" Here's the backstory:Ibrahim Mahama has dragged IMANI Africa Vice President Bright Simons to court, demanding GH₵10 million for defamation.
Mahama argues that Simons published "false and malicious" claims that tarnished his image and that of his company, Engineers and Planners (E&P).
