Serwaa Broni Saga: Three Ghanaians petition Parliament for Akufo-Addo’s impeachment



 Three Ghanaian citizens, Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko and Stephen Kwabena Attuh have petitioned Parliament to commence impeachment proceedings against President Akufo-Addo over the allegations of Serwaa Broni.

According to the three, the allegations, if proven to be true, would amount to “human rights abuse, abuse of office, exposing the security of Ghana to external threat…” as well as “…dragging the name of the high office of President into disrepute”.

The three, in their petition, took inspiration from Article 41 (a), (b) and (f) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana to uphold and defend the Constitution.

They further stated they believe the allegations levelled against the President established sufficient grounds for the invocation of Article 69(1) of the Constitution, 1992.

Ms. Evelyn Aidoo (Serwaa Broni) alleged among other things that she had an affair with the President.

He may have to form an alliance or perhaps, pick one of the [NDC presidential contenders] as his running mate. He explained further that, “…where Mahama is, he has the advantage of being marketed already. And Mahama with all his body language looks like he is retaining his running mate for 2020 [general elections]. If he does I think he should forget 2024.” So far, ...
