On a quiet Monday morning, the business community in Ghana was stirred by rumors suggesting that prominent businessman Ibrahim Mahama had expressed interest in acquiring the Volta Aluminium Company (VALCO). The whispers spread quickly, casting a shadow on Mr. Mahama’s reputation. However, the entrepreneur was swift to set the record straight.
Through a statement released by his Special Aide, Rafik Mahama, on July 27, Mr. Mahama categorically denied any involvement in the alleged acquisition of the state-owned aluminium smelter. “Mr Ibrahim Mahama has no such interest and has not made any such offer to acquire VALCO,” the statement emphasized, leaving no room for doubt.
The statement went further to denounce the allegations as yet another attempt to tarnish Mr. Mahama’s image. “Unfortunately, the allegation is the latest in several vile attempts to impute the integrity of Mr Ibrahim Mahama and subject him to needless public engagements,” it lamented.
Despite the distractions, Mr. Mahama remains unwavering in his commitment to Ghana’s development. The statement affirmed that he is focused on investing in businesses that generate growth and opportunities both within Ghana and beyond. “He is committed to contributing his quota to the development of Ghana by investing in business opportunities in Ghana and beyond,” it reiterated.
Determined to defend his name, Mr. Mahama has instructed his legal team to initiate legal action over the publication and circulation of the false claims. While the statement did not specify the individuals or organizations to be sued, it made clear that the matter would be pursued through the appropriate legal channels.
As the story continues to unfold, Mr. Mahama’s resolve to protect his reputation and contribute to Ghana’s progress remains firm, undeterred by unfounded rumors.
