Get the foolish man Wayonga out of the ministry of interior, Mahama; if you respect yourself and want the presidency to be respected. Very foolish people like wayongo in government are making us very uncomfortable. Please get him out of the ministry and put a respectful person there. Ghana has a population of about 25 million, you can easily get someone who will make people outside our country respect us. Too much of this disgrace. We are all not foolish, and therefore do not need to be led by a foolish man like wayongo.

Pepeni fake president is a natural born liar who in order to sound on top of his case has only let the cat out of the bag of his incompetence and lack of knowledge. The cause of these economic woes is Mahama's tribalism, nepotism, incompetence , selfishness, corruption and insane desire to rule at all costs . Just as the the Mayans of south America killed their leaders and ate their brains so pepeni killed the ideologist of the ndc Atta Mills to sit on his throne, didnt matter that he had no clue of how to build or develop a nation .He started by appointing mainly northerners who are as corrupt and incompetent as himself, where he appointed some one from another tribe he made sure he shadowed them with a pepeni chief director or deputy minister .A president who can not trust or accept the citizens of the land and appoint people based on merit and competence is no president of mine and will surely fail .He then appointed his pepeni and intellectually inferior ministers so no one could challenge him or call him to order, what he desires the most is an authoritarian dictatorship so that's he secured obedience and loyalty at the expense of the constitution and the interests of the people. How many private sector investors have been rejected because they will or cant pay the bribes ? Without private capital govt borrowing only creates debt . He was not able to mobilize our last resource the diaspora to come and invest as when NDC came they made sure most of the business community incurred huge losses through abrogation of contracts , corruption and inflation of the cedi. First we had Kuffour who spent his 8 years of sophisticated corruption that made us loose control of our natural resources such as our gold and oil , then we had anther sorrow of an Ashanti minister of finance Duffuor whose was put there just to satisfy the balance of tribal politics but wrecked the economy by increasing govt borrowing and now advocated for hedging/gambling our oil , i wonder why they didn't first sell the golden stool or at least hedge it for the betterment of all of Ghana, no worries , when the war comes the stool will go for sure . Nkrumah allowed the primitive northerners and ewes to join Ghana in the hope that he could secure himself president for life with a dictatorship , had the USA allowed Mexico and all the other south American states to become part of their country they would never have developed as all that would have been their focus would be to rule even though they are not socially or intellectually ready to develop.Now its clear to all war is around the corner and elections may only turn out to be the spark that will bring about a fierce ethnic conflict leading to the breakup of the country as should have been over 100 years ago.

How can not a cabinet minister but minister responsible for home or internal security make such loose statement? The worst of it is that he justified with the infamous “all die be die”. The fact that that state was wrong does not just you also making a similar mistake. In any case Nana Akufo-Addo has admitted he made a mistake. Moreover, he held no public office when he made that statement. The difference is that you are responsible for peace and security in Ghana and yet you justify political violence. Shame unto you. You are not fit to be an MP let alone Interior Minister, except of course, in lawless and indiscipline Ghana.

Peace-loving Ghanaians all over the world are demanding the resignation of Mark Owen Woyongo the Minister of Interior, in the interest of the peace and stability of this country, and to speak to the NDC agenda of suppressing the voting rights of Ghanaians through a systematic, focused onslaught of violence, intimidation and thuggery by the Sofo Azorka-led Azorka boys, all geared towards preventing the citizenry from exercising their fundamental, democratic and constitutional right to vote

The sooner the president removes Woyongo as a minister for the internals security the better because his utterances "violence begets violence" has set a bad precedent for others to follow. In short he is not for peace.

Woyongo's situation is a clear case of the promotion of terrorism. Very, very clear. If Ghana doesn't have anti terror laws, parliament must act now. I'm very sure the department of homeland security in the United States has taken note of Mark Owen Woyongo's utterances. Even if Ghanaian laws have not been breached, American laws have clearly been broken in this case. And there will be consequences!

Woyongo is just asking that these vigilante ballot box protectors must be brought together and educated on the best way to do that without violence. It is as simple as that. Theses groups exist and will exist. If you hush them political parties will cry that they are been cheated. They serve a purpose... giving comfort to political parties that their ballots are safe. Trust me. Lets rethink.
