The first three writers on this platform all all ignoramuses.
Had this happened under mahama kweku Baako and sefa kayi would have been shouting on roof top against mahama government. Today, when a minister or any member of the npp does something wrong, all the clergies and journalist who used to mention the name of mahama are now deaf and dumb. Amazing! As for nana addo blood is flowing through his veins and arteries but for mahama it's kerosene that flows through his body. God is watching them all.

With time these NDC press conference juvenals will call for a probe into "why smoke comes out of fire" and "why rainfall from the sky but not to the sky". These are guys who cannot work to earn income but have to rely fully on the state for their livelihood. Thus, they can never accepted why Ghanaians voted them out of power. A heavier defeat that will annihilate their party awaits them at a short last.
hahahahaha these fuuuuls (NDC) are so irrelevant that they meddle in every issue they lay hands on to score cheap political point, kriminals who are so shamelesss
