    So we should allow ourselves to be openly deceived again?
    So myopic! It is like this 9 billion hullabaloo about a petroleum hub- another open deception.

    Franklin has always been pro NPP until Akufo Addo and his Jean Adukwei Mensa disenfranchised his Santrokofi constituency. So don't blame him

    FRANKLIN CUDJOE SHOULD TELL THAT TO HIS PARTY NDC...TWEAA.

    If you who "sleep on a pillow" is finding it that difficult to to understand the point I am making, then it's good "to sleep on stone".

  • Kwaku Tee 1 year ago

    It is needless to construct an airport in Cape Coast bcoz it is not far from Accra.Modern railway lines and good road is what is needed.Travelling with a train on short routes is enjoyable than Aeroplane.

  • Sam Fante warrior. 1 year ago

    @Kwaku Tee. My brother don't worry your head this useless criminals liars don't have no idea to build airport in Cape Coast, they just want to fool my again for votes but not this time.

    Bawuliar's manifesto is knee jerk reaction to the anger of Ghanaians over the terrible and horrible performance of the flopped Economic whizkid. Clearly, the NPP doesn't have the men. Their women specialise in stashing doll ...

    Franklin has no vision. Cape Coast area should be developed into a tourist center. We should encourage more to visit, especially over brothers and sisters from the diaspora.

    Franklin , the airport in Cape Coast will be good. You can travel from Kumasi, Sunyani , tamale and even HO to Cape Coast.
