Age is not on his side and he knows that, also his wish to be president for at least just one day has been fulfilled so he has nothing to lose. He just wanted to be president and he is now so he doesn't care what comes next even if the galamsay people will turn into armed robbers. Just saying you don't fear losing an election is childish. What is your solution for those working there? because they may become even more risk to Ghana than galamsay if you sack them. find a better solution and stop playing politics

I think leaders lack of critical thinking skills and vision, then they started calling God’s name for every silly air that gush out of their aperture. God did not establish human government rather men seek human government out of greed, therefore, if today buffoon are trying to equate their ulterior motives to the divine being is preposterous. However, those who are following them know nothing apart from Amen and hallelujah. Keep bamboozling yourself and your electorate. Eventually, you guys will reach a crossroad. By the way, is the president saying God told him to purloin and plagiarized another former resident inaugural speech without a proper reference? This level of the hypocrisy is not only antithetical to my own traditional dogmas; it shows how apocalyptic this fake Christians are. Thanks

You will die before your death. Aboaba like you,idiot fool, ndc ni kwasea kwa. The God of David who handed over the Goliath 9f the Philistines to David to defeat was the same Lord who handed over the ndc Goliath to my President to defeat in an unprecedented humiliated and in a spectacular fashion. May that Lord destroy ndc forever and ever, May that Lord always make ndc propaganda and hate nonsense and useless in the ears and sight of Ghanaians. May that Lord make Ghanaians hate ndc forever and ever in the mighty name of Jesus.

That's no for you. When Newmont, Goldfields, AMS,Angligold, etc destroyed people's farms, houses and the environment they saw nothing wrong with it. You promised jobs but when you come to power you chase jobless youths trying to make ends meet with the police and soldiers. Instead of you to put the right measures in place to have this issue resolved amicably in order to ease the hardship people are going through as a sult if unemployment, you are bragging about election.

You idiotic idiots and vagabonds nppigs should continue to insult Ghanaians on top of their pains. nantwie plagia tengzug addo knew very well that galamsey activities is a menace. Yet, he sabotaged JM's administration and promised these people that he will legalize galamsey when given the mandate. So, why the U turn now? Do you think Ghanaians are fools? Or, is it because you have now gotten what you wanted? I am not in support of this galamsey nonsense. But, I hate hypocrisy. Why did nantwie addo promised the people knowing very well that their activities is a threat to our water bodies? What kind of nonsense is this? Hia! And, you fools are also here praising him that he is doing God's work. Is promise and fail part of God's work? Fools!
