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.
