    The Ashanti haters are now catching fear cos we're everywhere now. Business-wise we dey, academics we dey, politics we dey. They are just scared of the rate at which we are moving- high velocity.

    The very constitution that was not respected is the one that has been used to appoint another. We need one ghana and not a divided one

    Ernest Addison is a GA.

  • Moses 7 years ago

    A northerner resigns from the Governor position and Nana gives the position to another GA man. Millson Narh is already a GA and adding Addison is not right.

  • Nana Nti 7 years ago

    The question is that guy better than Dr Addison?/or u think we should just give it to him because he is a votarian

    FIGO

    Dont worry Gadzekpo will be made the first deputy Governor when Narh goes home.
    That position is normally for an Accountant.
    We need an economist as a Governor to help the finance ministry
