Assassination Plot on Prez Mahama Uncovered

-Foreign troops stationed in neighboring countries involved

What has not come to the notice of Ghanaians is that, with barely two weeks into the just ended crucial but successful election, the opposition New Patriotic Party as part of its ill-fated plans to brazenly execute the “all-die-be-die” mantra furtively abet with the ragtag band of loyalists of the Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara to assassinate President John Dramani Mahama in case he emerge winner of the election.

The dastardly machination was part of a grand scheme hatched by immoral hawks within the NPP with support from senior officials of the President Ouattara led administration prior to the December 7, election to among other things ensure that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo becomes president ‘at all cost” A deep throat source close to the Ivorian President hinted The Al-Hajj that the Ouattara government considers the current Ghanaian government to be uncooperative, particularly in the matter of the extradition of exiled pro-Gbagbo supporters who are alleged to be engaged in acts, ostensibly to destabilize Cote d’Ivoire from Ghana.

“President Ouattara would have been a happy man if President John Mahama had lost the December election. He has a good working relationship with the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo and it would have been easy to bring back home pro-Gbagbo supporters for possible prosecution if the NPP had won,” the source noted Intelligence report gathered from Cote d’Ivoire revealed that on Wednesday, November 21, 2012, President Alassane Ouattara’s Chief of Staff, Marcel Amon Tandoh sent his special aide, Félicien Angbahi to address a crunch meeting of Union of Republicans-radical supporters of President Ouattara’s party. This meeting was held at the headquarters of the Union of Republicans in Aboisso and was to restore confidence among supporters of the Ivorian President who have been disenchanted over unfulfilled electoral promises. According to the Chief of Staff’s aide, President Alassane Ouattara’s inability to meet his electoral promises to them was due to fact that, remnants of ex-president Gbagbo exiled in Ghana are given him sleepless nights and threatening the peace of the country. And to keep the hopes of his fellow party members alive, he revealed that:

"Ghana’s opposition leader, Nana Akufo-Addo is a very close friend to Ouattara. Once he becomes president, he will send all the refugees, most of whom are Gbagbo’s loyalists back to Cote d’Ivoire. President Ouattara is quiet on this subject. The immediate future is favorable. There is actually a coalition of troops in Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Togo who are ready to violently overthrow the regime in case President Mahama wins. These three countries will serve as bases for a coup in Ghana on behalf of NPP. For this, on the Ivorian side, there is a military training camp that was created in Nouamou (border village located not far from Half-Assini) to receive fighters close to Nana Addo".

The Al-Hajj gathered that during the same meeting, Marcel Amon Tanoh’s aide also revealed that the Alassane Ouattara government in turn to muzzle the media in Cote d’Ivoire to prevent it from reporting to the outside world the real happenings.

"We intend to stop all the newspapers Headlines readers and other fanatical readers who read newspapers and make comments that open debates on places where newspapers are sold-things that maintain the spirit of resistance among Gbagbo supporters.”

Finally, talking about refugees, he announces: "Be quiet. All the refugees will soon return, voluntarily or by force, to allow President Ouattara to fulfill all his promises to you” Harboring these feelings against the NDC government and President Mahama, The Al-Hajj’s intelligence both in Ivory Coast and Ghana uncovered that senior members of the Ivorian government under the behest of President Ouattara goaded Nana Akufo-Addo and other hawkish top hierarchies of the NPP to approach the December 7 election with outright belligerence.

Our intelligence revealed that in the run-up to the December 7 elections, spies and mercenaries from Cote d’Iviore, Togo and Burkina Faso, were stationed at these neighboring countries with support from local NPP mercenary groups in Ghana to monitor and assess President Mahama’s capabilities and strength and make recommendations regarding ways to jettison him.

As part of their recommendations to make it practically possible for the NPP to wrestle power from the NDC, the Ivorian President was advised to provide cash and logistics to support Nana Akufo-Addo.

To fulfill this promise, President Outttara through some of his senior Ministers added 3million France to what it had contributed to the Ghanaian opposition leader’s campaign, all in a bid to ensure that Nana Akufo is elected president of Ghana. The team also made a proposal for an assassination of President Mahama should in case he wins the election. However, this particularly recommendation was ruled out at the eleventh hour after leaders of the NPP led by its Chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey brought to the attention of the Ivorian government that per article 60 clause (6) of the constitution of Ghana, even if they should succeed in killing President Mahama, the NPP presidential candidate will not get the chance to become president because the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur will be sworn in as head of state.

The last straw, which is what the NPP is currently holding onto, is to reject the electoral results in the event that Nana Akufo-Addo loses the election and create civil disobedience. In that case the Ivorian mercenaries will be sent to Ghana to start attacking members of the NPP, and also butcher NPP demonstrators to a gory like Rwadan genocide.

To drive home forcefully this ploy, more Ivorian mercenaries loyal to Ouattara will be sent to Ghana to aid the NPP stage a coup d’état, which will eventually see Nana Akufo-Addo tasting power at the expense of innocent Ghanaian blood. The Al-Hajj can authoritatively report that some well built Ivorian fighters have been sighted in some locations within the capital city and the NPP leadership has been meeting with them on how to bring to fruition these dastardly plans.

One of such meetings, which was chaired by Nana Akufo-Addo took place at Alisa Hotel in Accra on Friday, December 14, 2012 and lasted for nearly five hours. Among the plans adopted to carry out this diabolical agenda was to activate a cogent several uncivil moves to create unexplained agitations through series of demonstrations that will be championed by the Alliance for Accountable Governance and the Young Patriots; needless press conferences, unjustified strike actions and inducing traders to increase the price of goods and services all in the aim of making the country ungovernable. Part of the diabolic plan is to task some IT experts to falsify the voice of President John Dramani Mahama in a conversation with the Chairman of the EC, Dr Afari Gyan for doing a great job by skewing the elections in his favor and promising the EC boss and his ‘aided’ staff of juicy packages The doctored voice will then be widely circulated on the social media by a team of young men and women. The aim of this will be to cow Ghanaians, civil society and the international community in believing that the Nana Akufo-Addo was indeed cheated in the 2012elections.

If this move works out perfectly, the NPP will then task AFAG, the Young Patriots and other pressure groups to embark on series of Tahir-square style of demonstrations that will be very acrimonious. As part of the plan, the demonstrators will face off with the security services just to create a bloody atmosphere of which the President will be force to declare a state of emergency. To drum home this wicked plot, there will be series of bomb throwing across the country. As soon as chaotic situation is created in the country, the NPP will then infiltrate the ranks of the military; with the help of the mercenaries to stage a coup d’état. It would be recalled that when the Accra Fast Struck High release an ally of former Ivorian President, Laurent Gbagbo, Justin Kone Katinan the Ivorian President had been fuming with rage over President Mahama’s handling of the matter and felt stabbed at the back.

In a discussion with an aide with close links to the Ghana government, President Ouattara angrily yelled “don’t tell me the judiciary of Ghana is independent… why can’t my brother John Mahama control the Judiciary of his country? If I can control mine, why can’t he do same?”

Amidst this development, sources within the security services have assured The Al-Hajj that they are on top of the issue, and are monitoring events with ‘eagle’s eyes’. In an exclusive interview with The Al-Hajj an intelligence officer revealed that the security services are monitoring activities of all groups, and that it is the duty of the security agencies to maintain the peace of the country.

“If Nana Akufo-Addo, or any politician for that matter, thinks that they can undermine the security of the country, they must re-write their script. There will be no room for any group, ejither within or outside Ghana to operate…we are ready for them, we know what they are doing and very soon we will close down on them,” the source added

The security source further revealed that “the security agencies are well resourced and prepared for any eventuality, and will handle every issue , one at a time, and we will maintain and sustain the peace of the country.”
