    AKUFO ADDO ASK HIM FOR CAMPAIGN DONATION AND DR: OPUNI REFUSE TO PAY- SO AKUFO ADDO PROMISE TO BRING HIM DOWN: THAT IS THE MAIN STORY

  • OnyamebaKofi 1 year ago

    Dr. Opuni defines integrity. Incorruptible! No amount of orchestrations can bring him down.

    He has to cos whatever they are doing to the accused persons is unacceptable. Not in a democratic state like Ghana.

  • Kofi Amponsah 1 year ago

    The whole world has seen that this case is politically motivated and lacks merit to prosecute the accused persons hence the use of the highly corrupt judiciary to pave their way. The end of these people is near.
