Mahama was trying to use the case to his advantage. They control the police, even on Fulani matters.

BUHARI'S DAUGHTER CAUGHT UP IN 'FIRST CLASS' TRAVEL CONTROVERSY

The daughter of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, Hanan, has been caught up in a political controversy surrounding her first class travel on a British Airways between Nigeria and the UK, where the 16-year-old is a secondary school student.

President Buhari has decreed that his ministers should not fly first or business class on official duties.

The opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which has accused the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) of a witch-hunt against its members, revealed on social media that Hanan flew first class – contrary to the modest means that President Buhari portrayed of his family when he declared his assets last September.

It was on this basis that he launched his anti-corruption campaign, which members of the PDP claim is aimed solely at them.

On the British Airways website, the price of a first-class return ticket to Abuja is almost £8,500 ($12,400) – a far cry from Nigeria’s GDP per capita of $1,091, according to recent World Bank figures.

Hanan’s elder sister, Zahra, is understood to be studying Medical Microbiology at the University of Surrey in the UK, where she will be paying very high fees as an international student.

Not surprisingly, debates have been raging online about this situation that appears to be contrary to President Buhari’s edict to his ministers about foreign travel.

But an economist in London told the GNA: “This is not surprising because what we are seeing in Nigeria is what happens all over Africa – where members of the elite enjoy different standards of living and levels of accountability compared with the rest of the population.”

Nigeria’s Labour Movement has not made it any easier for President Buhari as he pushes ahead with his much maligned war on corruption.

During May Day celebrations in Lagos and Abuja, leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria were unanimous in their message to the government: their members were beginning to lose faith in the change mantra of the APC government.

For a normally divided Nigerian Labour Movement the unity shown was telling.

Trade union members from the different factions unanimously condemned increasing poverty, unemployment, insecurity, erratic power supply, fuel scarcity, and called on the government to urgently address the mounting hardship and frustration in the country.

Joe Ajaero, one of the faction leaders of the NLC, spoke of the anomaly of fuel shortage in a major oil-producing country: “It is a shame that we have continued to import petroleum products.

“It is also a shame that we have also privatised it so that the products have become inaccessible to majority of the citizens, causing serious distortions to our economic processes.

“Fuel scarcity has persisted far longer than ever, foisting on our people the most horrendous of sufferings ever meted out to them by any ruling elite in our nation’s history,” he added.

Buhari’s Labour Minister, Chris Ngige, reading a speech on behalf of the president, said: “I make no excuses as this government of the APC is determined to tackle, headlong, all socio–economic ills that have troubled our nation and we shall evolve solutions to emerging threats to our well-being and the realisation of sustainable development as well as growth anchored on equity and social justice.”

Are Ghanaians watching what is happening in Nigeria? This is the same thing that will happen in Ghana should we fall for Akuffo Addo's Change mantra. After all Buhari is his mentor.

This lawyer is a big fool. Such people will know no peace even after their death. No wonder NPP is said to be plotting civil war during the upcoming elections. But I will urge the police command to discharge their duties without fear or favour. GHANA bigger than NPP selfishness and greed.

So this foolish man is implying that those in higher places ask Wontumi to slap an NPP MP? Also those in higher places ask the MP, Collins Amankwah to report the matterto the police? What a stupid reasoning! It is only people in the Nana People's Party who will think savagely like that. We know there are decent people in the New Patriotic Party. God save the New Patriotic Party from these savage hoodlums.

A chairman of a major political party slaps a member of parliament belonging to his party, and this is the best we can offer by hailing him?

No wonder, our leaders take us all for fools!

More NPP lies. This lawyer cannot present any evidence in court to back his claims; he's merely waving a card of deception to camouflage a thug who loves to threaten folks within his party as well as his political opponents. Since the lawyer is so loud about "people higher up", why not disclose those people? There's nothing diversionary about his arrest. The only thing that's divisionary is the lawyer's flimsy attempt to divert the public's attention to some fictitious people allegedly responsible for Wontumi's arrest.

A lawyer of this man's caliber playing to the gallery in this way? Unbelievable. If there was any order from above, it was from the Headquarters of 'All die be die' to the MP to withdraw the case or suffer the fate of the late JB Dankwa. All NPP MPs must watch the hatchet men from their own party, they have become an endangered species. Now the true men behind JB's death are surfacing.

Bullshit, l have deep roots in the NPP but wrong is wrong... The guy fucking slapped someone so stop all these crap witcthunt. What if he hasn't slapped the guy who's also an MP. As a leader you do what is right at all times for ppl to emulate you. Even not as a leader, nobody should abuse or beat another person. You don't walk around and slap ppl and you as a lawyer knows that so stop this nonsense you're feeding the ppl with. Even Donald Trump's campaign manager grabbed someone's hand without permission, he was arrested and charged with assault so what are you talking about. Be civilized and grow up! What Wontumi did was absolute stupidity so don't blame any high ups for anything.

I used to have a volume of respect for lawyer until this morning when I was forced to rethink my stand. Lawyers (let me say some) are so dump in their thinking I'm left with no option than yo ckadify them as glorified illiterates. How could somebody slap a sitting MP, the MP reports to the police, the police arrests the alleged culprit and then a whole lawyer says the arrest is diversionary? Ghana really abounds in stupidity and absurdity of the highest order. Such are those erroneously thinking they are the elite of our society and deserve to rule than be ruled. Andy Appiah Kubi is simply an idiot.
