The NDC's presidential candidate, Mr John Dramani Mahama has described the Special Prosecutor (SP), Martin Amidu as a "coward" for mentioning him in the corruption risk assessment report on the Agyapa Minerals Royalties deal.

Mahama suggested that it was unnecessary for his name and the Airbus Scandal be included in a risk assessment of an unreIated Agyapa deal.

According to Mahama, the Special Prosecutor mentioned his name as part of an attempt to "equalize the discussion".

He said: “Amidu goes and presents Agyapa investigations and I thought he was a man enough. They say investigate Agyapa, so present a report on Agyapa. If you have investigated Airbus, present a report on Airbus."

“In the Agyapa report, you know that it is going to be damning of this government and so you go and put one paragraph there about Airbus. Nobody asked you about Airbus. If you were man enough, present Agyapa and do a report on Airbus separately and then I will come and answer you on Airbus.

“But because he is a coward and they knew Agyapa was going to be discussed today, he put a paragraph on Airbus to equalize the discussion. What stupidity is this?”
