Former
Deputy Communications Minister, Victoria Hammah has revived the famous
hullaballoo which hovered over the legitimacy of President John Dramani
Mahama during the hearing of the Presidential election petition at the
Supreme Court, eight months ago.
She landed fresh evidence
against the President's administration in a revealing tape recording
played on NEAT FM yesterday, regarding her colleague Deputy Minister of
Gender, Children and Social Protection and her boss Nana Oye Lithur.
Ms
Victoria Hammah, who on the eve of Friday, November 8, 2013, became the
cynosure of curious eyes in the nation; was heard loud and very clear,
making explicit revelations about the operations done under the cover of
darkness by some government officials.
On the leaked tape, a
voice purported to be that of Ms Hammah was heard discussing the
activities of some Ministers with a female friend, particularly Rachel
Appoh who recently was in the news to have stepped on the toes of her
boss.
In the 32-minute recording, the two ladies who undauntedly
descended heavily on Rachel, labeling her as "unwise and ugly" and
"deadly" in the NDC, in their interaction revealed that Nana Oye Lithur
secretly conferred with the Supreme Court Justices before their verdict
on the NPP Presidential election petition.
According to her, she
made frantic efforts to advise her colleague (Rachel Appoh) not to
bicker nor fight with Nana Oye Lithur because she just plays second
fiddle to her.
“I sat her (Rachel) in front of Omane (Boamah,
Minister of Communications) defending Rachel for one hour. She had a
problem and then, everybody had their opinion about her. I made her look
good in front of Omane and the other Ministers. Then, in front of the
first lady (Lordina), you want to diss me. Let her sit there. She thinks
politics is a joke.
"You want to fight Oye Lithur. Tony Lithur
controls three Ministries. That Rachel is not wise… Tony Lithur has been
the friend of the Rawlingses, been a friend to President John, and his
wife. I learnt even before the verdict, Nana (Oye Lithur) was with the
Justices and all that. You don’t know the role she has played for us to
win the court case. Then, you want to use your lack of intelligence to
push her out... "Tony Lithur and John Mahama, they’ve got an alliance.
They are allies, you understand. They defend each other. Rachel, who do
you have?" she disclosed.
She further disclosed that she has
secured her place in government and therefore Rachel is nowhere near her
class when it comes to the Mahama government.
Until she attains
her 1 million dollar dream, she will use her influence and access to the
President house to remain in office; Hon. Hammah told her friend. "...I
understand politics very well. If I haven't made a million dollars I
wouldn't go and attack people. If you have money, then you can control
people.”
She described her influence, saying "my appointment was
solid way back. So, what does it tell you? That even in terms of
influence, I’ve more influence than you and Rachel. Even you who won
your seats, they have crammed you, two, in the Gender. And you won’t
seek wisdom. The moment you lose your Ministerial job, you lose your
might and influence. Then you become unpopular in your constituency.
When somebody contests you, you see that your place is in trouble. Then
you’ll be done, you’re finished.
