Oh Bridget may your soul rest peacefully but if your death as a result of effect of the evil deities that Nana Addo consulted through the Ashanti regional iffice of the NPP then please don't rest but attack your murderers. It is time the clergy talks about this Nana Addo's contact with the evil deities and this was clearly displayed in front of the NPP regional office Kumasi And also BA region where a ram Was slathered to foster victory for Nana Addo. Native doctors in BA too gave Nana Addo money in his campaign which was captured by the media.Was it blood money or what? Serious times ahead and we need prayers.
Oh may you Rest in Peace
Needless deaths resulting from failed institutions. The situations of certain facilities though not proper were allowed to go on because someone had a connection to someone else in the corridors of power. As the proverb says : rain does not discriminate on whose roof it falls;it falls on every roof. We only visibly express regret when a prominent life is cut short in this way: what about countless lives which are lost on a daily basis because someone fails to deliberately do his/her duty or thwarted by the powers that be from doing his/her duty for selfish gains of a few? For once let sanity prevail in this country in the planning of our infrastructure! Let the laws work for once! What is wrong for the ordinary man to do must also be wrong for anybody else to do!May she find rest in the bosom of her Maker.
May her soul rest in peace. may God encourage the family too.
RIP

Oh Bridget. Rest in Peace. Damirifa Dua. Due ne Amenehunu
