    So sorry Franklin. Hate to say that excessive hatred for Nana Addo could also be a contributory factor.

  • Roman Fata 3 weeks ago

    where from your statistics. NADAA completed 2 terms, beat Mahama 2X.

    How old is Franklin Cudjoe? He looks too young for him to get Parkinson disease.My prayers are with him.

  • KK 3 weeks ago

    Even children can get it. U can read about that.

  • Concerned citizen 3 weeks ago

    He certainly looks young for PD. Might be drug-induced parkinsonism. In which case the best practice is stop the offending medication for an alternative.
