The report disclosed that the former lawmaker himself recounted how he was slapped in the face by a bodyguard of Mr. Mahama.“I was slapped by a soldier, who was part of former President Mahama’s bodyguards, when the ex-president visited my constituency during the 2016 electioneering campaign period.”It continued that the former leader was treated like a “tin god” when he was in power a situation that made it almost impossible for party gurus like himself to go near him.Call our Editor on 0209391902 or click here and inform us via Whatsapp. You could equally email your stories or articles to info@ghanaxtra.com and we’ll surely put them online
