THE SITTING PRESIDENT HAS NO VISION AND HAS BEEN CREATING A MESS FOR THE COUNTRY. THINK ABOUT MAHAMA SAYING THE EUROBONDS WILL BE USED TO REDUCE BUDGET DEFICIT, REDUCE INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES; ONLY A FOOL WILL BORROW AT HIGHER RATE TO PAY HIS DEBT. THE QUESTION WITH AKUFFO ADDO IS, IS HE CAPABLE OF CLEANING UP THE MESS, THAT THE LOOTING BRIGADE OF THE NDC HAS CREATED. CORRUPTION MUST END.

Always showing your double standards everywhere you comment.
Both Nana Addo and Mahama have no choice once the SC has ruled.

I think,Brian Williams,your comments are misplaced.I sincerely agree with you wholeheartedly but your comments should be under issues relating to the obvious mismanagement of our finances by this President instead of under an article dealing with an advise sought by the Right Reverend to calm the waters upon the deliverance of the much awaited outcome of our Supreme Court's Ruling.There's a lot of such "square-plugs-in-round-holes" comments floating around in this Ghanaweb medium,you think?

If the Kuffour packed court renders any stupid decision short of throwing the 419 lawsuit out, president Mahama must go to the world courts. Idiots! Elections are won at the ballot box!!!

I predicted long time ago before the élections that if Nana Addo loses he will never concede defeat and I stand by my word.Nana Addo will never accept defeat unless he wins but the funny question is,does he expect Mahama to accept defeat or victory?The Christain Council must be bold and tell Nana Addo in the face to stop the his folly,point blank.This is not the first time,he is the record man of electoral disputes and somebody must stop this folly now.Nana Addo told Laurent Gbagbo to obey the declaration of Ivorian EC,why is he refusing to obey Ghanaian EC?I want to know.This guy signed peace accord in Kumasi in the presence of Asantehene and the Peace Council altogether.What did he do afterwards?He refused to accept the results like what he did in 2008,total disrespect to authority so can you trust him this time around?He is taking Ghanaians for ride.I am not sure what is going on in his head but we should stop pampering him and let him stop his folly,enough is enough.Thank you.

Whether there will be peace or violence after the SC ruling will depend on whether the judgment given serves the cause of justice or not.

our noble justices sitting on this so call petition by akuffo addo and his team of trouble shooters will be making the greatest mistake for Ghana if they should give any judgment in favour of akuffo addo and co. we all listened to the goings at the court up to this stage and yet the lawyers of akuffo addo and co could not produce any strong evidence to support their petition. if over 4 million Ghanaians who queued up to vote for their president from 12mid night and some stupid and careless electoral officers failed to sign pink sheets, should those 4million Ghanaians be made to forfeit their constitutional right so that he arrogant akuffo addo becomes the president? how would those 4million Ghanaians think of he akuffo addo? will he akuffo addo feel comfortable visiting those 4million Ghanaians? well we live to see what happens should the verdict goes that way. it is the prayer of majority of Ghanaians that the judges will not allow political party colors to influence their judgment else prosperity will judge them one day!

I think you are the most stupid fool to have come on this website to exhibit the stupidity in you. I pity your parents for wasting their time bring you forth. you stupid son of a bitch at what stage at the court did you hear anybody including your stubborn akuffo addo saying that president mahama stole the election? does president mahama work at the electoral commission? you are the type of people who do not want the progress of Ghana. you are not different from the uncultured Ursula owusu who could insult any person who could be her father. remember how she insulted our late president the good old prof fiifi atta mills because of her boyfriend who wants to become the president of the country at all cost? Prof did not utter a word against her and gave everything to God. the same thing will happen to you fool!

THIS IS STUPID TO SAY THAT MAHAMA AND AKUFO-ADDO SHOULD PLEDGE TO ACCEPT SC VERDICT. THOSE TWO MEN ARE NOT GOING TO BE ON THE STREETS WITH CUTLASSES AND BATS AND OTHER WEAPONS. IT IS THE KNUCLE HEADS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY THAT ARE GOING TO CAUSE HAVOC. SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT MATTER WHAT THESE TWO MEN TELL THIER SUPPORTERS THEY WILL STILL ACT OUT AND JUBUILATE JUST LIKE ANITA DE SOSO HAD STATED. IT IS THE SUPPORTERS THAT NEED TO BE TOLD TO ACCEPT THE SC VERDICT AND NOT MAHAMA OR AKUFO-ADDO. TRUST ME THOSE GUYS WILL BE FINE WHCIHEVER WAY IT GOES. IT IS THE POOR, STUPID AND IGNORANT FOLKS WITH NO JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO ACT OUT. LOOK AT WAHT WENT ON WITH THE DESTRUCTION AND BURNING OR OFFICES BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIKE THE PRESIDENTS NOMINEES FOR MCES AND DCES. THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. HOPE IT DOES NOT COME TO THAT POINT WHERE FOLKS TAKE TO THE STREET EITHER TO JUBILATE OR TAUNT THE OTHER SIDE. LET THERE BE PEACE

Yes, the two parties should pledge the commitment to peace in the country

What the Ghanaian populace should ask for is what happens to Afari Gyan whose actions has caused these uneasiness in the country.

I disagree with you about Dr. Afari Gyan has caused uneasiness in the country it was rather NPP who felt cheated and yet felt short proving it to Ghanaians, caused it. Dr. Afari Gyan was accused of defraud but that was not what most of us witnessed in the supreme court. I sense that after the court case, Dr. Afari Gyan is suing NPP for false accusation to tarnish his good name.

I do not see the need for an open declaration by John and Nana to support the verdict of the supreme court. It is Ghanaians who will have to make a decision to accept the verdict or not. The matter solely rests with the supreme court to come out with a verdict that even the looser will appreciate . Please do not take the ordinary folks on the streets for granted or fools. They can make sense of what the judges will say. It is the kind of verdict the Judges bring out based on the application of our constitution, the rules and regulations that govern our election process which will tell the people whether they should accept the verdict or not. We are all waiting for the judges to come out and tell us what the law is and it application in this matter. Let us leave John and Nana out. After all they cannot dictate to us as to what we should accept and what we should not. Supreme Court Judges we are waiting for you. Let the truth prevail.

The parties are allowed to review the judgement so it is best to wait for the outcome. The Christian council should familiarise itself with the court procedure.

Didn't they pledge before Otumfuor to accept the results when declared by EC? Is Christian Council not being hypocritical? How many times should the two pledge? Why ignore all previous pledges and be calling for fresh pledges now? If the Christian Council feels that so far as Ghana is not turned into Afghanistan they should not rest their oars, then they can continue calling for pledges. They should make bold to hold each pledgor to his pledge individually to bolster peace.
