hahahaha, jonathan whatever you call yaself, i think shoukd you or ya family have a man like Jake, you guy could have jumped to the sky. in africa, if a minister fails as you may think to perform, dont 100% blame him but the appointing authority, he might have so by not been allowed by the appointing power and party people. should we blame NDC ministers of finance knowing clearly that, they were hijacked by mahama, lordina and ibrahim putting the economic planning of Ghana in their pockets denying Dr dufour and terpkeh to perform. i can tell you, the Life of Jake is worth celebrating, bringing a party of decades in opposition to power from a 19 yr rule of a military/democratic detector isnt itself a joke. i can as well tell you that, no matter ma like/love for nana addo, i wouldnt so should he even the president or any of his akyem mafias disdain jake. infact otanka was an embodiment of the npp, which we can change the elephant symbol and replace by jake picture. in this era of the 4th republic, i cant apart from nana addo, see or justify anybody worth the vibrancy and solidarity of our democracy than jake as i will say so that in terms of peaceful campaign and peaceful life style, non beats prof mills. only wish dan botwe leads the party one day to complete the efforts of to me and many the most important people in our fourth republic. am not saying so leaving prof adu boahene, the jb dankwahs , dompohs etc but in recent times or the past or with 20 yrs of solid democracy in Ghana, i think OTANKA, NANA ADDO & DAN KWAKU BOTWE are solidified and embodiments of Ghana politics. let kweku baako even throw a debate and i will debate him on that. i wish God allow me to use you as a sacrifice and exchange for Jake to be alive. heads like yours worth the slashing board at the abatoir. JAKE, OTANKA, may Almighty God, Allah who know best and does best, give you eternal Life JAKE, Rest In Peace Perfect Peace (R.I.P.P.P.)
