Ibrahim Mahama

Ibrahim Mahama warns Kennedy Agyapong
Chief Executive of Engineers and Planners, Mr
Ibrahim Mahama, has warned acerbic tongue New
Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Assin
Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyepong, to forthwith,
refrain from dragging his hard earned reputation
in the mud or face his wrath.

Irked by the incessant but unwarranted and
unguarded attacks on his person and family by the
foul mouth Assin Donpem-born legislator, Mr
Ibrahim Mahama has been narrating how Kennedy
Agyepong, for several years without any
provocation, has made him his chop stick in the
media.

The shrewd entrepreneur and media-shy Engineers
and Planners CEO, who is also a younger brother of
immediate past president John Mahama, having
perhaps had enough of Kennedy Agyapong’s
never-ending vituperations in the media, was
speaking to well-wishers and friends who thronged
his residence to inquire what the problem is
between him and the maverick MP.

Most of the people who came to “commiserate”
with Mr Ibrahim Mahama following the NPP MP’s
recent attacks on him and her late mother; could
not fathom why Hon Agyepong, who was only recently
adjudged by policy think tank, ODEKRO, as among
MPs who never made statements on the floor of
parliament in the life of the 6th parliament,
would spend much of his time lampooning the
business magnate at the least opportunity.

Livid by the shameful behavior of the NPP MP, the
former President’s brother intoned: "I don’t
go around bragging about what God has blessed me
with and I don’t also go round threatening
people like what Ken does...but he should know
that some people, such me may, not be abrasive
publicly as he is but…some of us when we’ve
had enough of trash can be as ‘wild’ as the
beast.”

Short of sharing exactly what that meant, the
usually reclusive and soft spoken Engineers and
Planners CEO only told his audience, "go n tell
him (Ken) that I can be more ruthless than he
thinks he is but, I just respect myself, my family
and Ghanaian people hence; I have restrained
myself following him into the gutter in spite of
his numerous unsubstantiated and wild allegations
and most of the time, pure lies.”

"Tell Ken that by the grace of God I have long
been blessed before John (John Mahama) became
Vice-president and later President... is it my
fault that my senior brother climbed to those
heights? Is it my fault that I am where I am
today…I’m not God to determine others’
future and I’m content with what God has gifted
me...I don’t compete with anyone neither do I
envy those before me and even those after me. It
is God's wish,” he stated.

The NPP Assin Central MP has since the defeat of
President John Mahama and the NDC in last December
elections picked on Mr Ibrahim Mahama and his
family and has on countless occasions made
unguarded statements and spurious allegations
against him.

In one such unsubstantiated allegation against Mr
Ibrahim, the MP who has always promised to expose
shady deals of his political opponents but is yet
to redeem any of his pledges accused the former
President’s brother of dealing in cocaine and
stolen cars.

In his usual abrasive no hold bar claims on Oman
Fm’s Boiling Point programme, Kennedy Agyapong
alleged that President John Mahama’s late step
mum, who is also the mother of Ibrahim Mahama, was
a drug baron. “She is obsessed with drugs and
she baths with it,” he alleged

He also accused Mr Ibrahim Mahama of dealing in
stolen cars which he alleged the latter supplies
to some prominent chiefs in this country.

Interestingly, checks on the CEO of Engineers and
Planners, Ibrahim Mahama who is being accused of
involvement in stolen cars revealed that his
company is having in its possession over 300
pieces of earth moving equipment, pay loaders,
bulldozers, multi-purpose tipper trucks, tankers,
pickups etc.

With the attacks becoming one too many, Mr Ibrahim
is warning Kennedy Agyapong he has had enough of
his gibberish and may be forced to react in like
manner “I'm just blessed by God as a young man,
I don’t engage in shady deals as Ken has
variously alleged neither have I been boastful of
where God has placed me...I’m not even directly
into politics nor being executive member of my
brother's party, the NDC, so what is my offence
that should warrant his (Ken) inexorable attacks
on me?” Ibrahim queried.
