Akufo Addo is the epitome of tyranny but it was expected of a sore loser. You guys should keep exposing him but be proactive in dealing with all the challenges inherited.

You hit the nail by the head. These idiots shut literally shut down government activities and parliament because they've won an election regardless of what the constitution says. They got their wish but now they're complaining nothing was done after the election. NDC can't have their cake and eat it at the same time.

They're giving us excuses why they will fail. Nobody is buying. You ask for power, we gave it to you. They should shut up and go to work, period.

Tell John Jinapor to rather shut up on the energy crises. He has said on many platforms like tv3 Metro Tv that they solved dumsor before leaving office in 2016. He should remember What the Npp said that dumsor has everything to do with finances, once u have money to power the generators lights will be on. Look for money to solve it and give us break.

I pray that this is not a sign of things to come. Generally, excuses and complaints are sometimes signs of helplessness. I am afraid we may have to brace ourselves for difficult times these next four years or so. Folks, fasten your seat belts, there are difficult clouds ahead! Funny, you asked to be given the reins of government and now that you have it, instead of governing you are out there complaining. Please, please, what we want to hear is your plans and steps to deal with whatever challenges the nation is failing. Don't inundate us with complaints and excuses. COME ON. DON'T DISAPPOINT GHANAIANS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR FOLLOWERS BY RETURNING THE COUNTRY TO DUMSOR UNDER YOUR WATCH! If it happens, NDC will forever be tagged with the DUMSOR label.

This remark, shows how ridiculously dysfunctional our public institutions have become. Why should procurement of fuel for running thermal generators be a political leadership decision. We have state owned enterprises and private independent power producers that should be able to carry out their work without overbearing political influence, but no. In Ghana because of opportunities for contracts and self-enrichment, these entities are taken over by political leaders. To address, our problems as a nation, we should start at the basics.

Who caused this problem? NDC did not allow the out going regime to follow the transition process. NDC were all over the places taking over government buildings, burning Offices, intimidating government workers the day they won the election. How do you expect the outgoing regime to go about their work and hand over smoothly when you created did not make it possible to do so? You can't have your cake and eat it at the same, period. You should have ordered petrol when you took over by force.

I hope we we can learn a lesson from this stupid to facilite smooth transition in the future.

The NPP and their foolishness will forever be etched in he minds of Ghanaians as the Party that sold the the birth rights PREVILEGES of Mother Ghana
Greedy Bastards!!!! And Addo Akuffo too; he dwindled in height as his presidency was coming to a close. He dwarfed from 5ft 5inches to an astonishing 4ft 9inches.
