A LIAR IS ALWAYS A LIAR. JOHN MAHAMA SHOULD NOT CONTINUE TO THINK GHANAIANS DO OT KNOW THAT HE LIES. THE ECONOMY IS IN TATTERS SO PLEASE LEAVE US TO MEND IT AND STOP THOSE LOOSE TALKS. A SORE LOSER.
Mahama is talented lair so he cannot changed. what can of strong foundation on our economy he is talking about, You had talking this country back to the bad corner, it was one of the reasons why Ghanaian voted you and your government out, but you are still doing this propaganda work. Are you not ashamed of the way you managed this country? Please give us a break. Just site tight watch and learn from Nana Addo.
The Rawlings/Mahama NDC social democracy is in frigging bad taste in the economy of the Republic of Ghana contemporary. Let us wisely reserve further comments. Let Dramani aMahama not attempt to tell Nana Akufo-Addo what Ghana contemporary is yearning for.
Mahama is still in denial. He lost due to bad policies and the wanton dissipation of Ghana's resources. Northern schools cannot open because of huge debts and you say what? NDC and propaganda!
THIS PRESIDENT WANTS MORE INJURY TIME TO SCORE THE EQUALISER BUT EVEN 4YRS INJURY TIME WILL BE ANOTHER WASTE OF TIME.
This. Man is an emotional wreck! What kind oftoddler poltics is this!
