Just ignore these fools. It's their new tactics, hoping Ghanaians will forget the last eight mad years under unscrupulous Nana Addo. You can apologise to the trees and animals in the bush as well, Ghanaians will not forget and forgive. Just be fooled and allow them in, it will be worse than what Nana Addo did. Just see the line up of their potential leaders. A complete pathological lair,and a useless economist, a mad man and the rest are just thieves. You knew from day one that the e levy was not but uou have stolen so much money that you desperately needed the e-levy to cover your stealing. Thieves

We must make sure the NPP moves from opposition to relegation. Ghana deserves a better opposition party. The current NPP is a waste of public space.

The situation is a very complex one. It is not the NDC voters who are angry at NPP. Their anger doesn't matter. It is the NPP base supporters like me who are angry and showed that by not voting. And many of them are getting convinced to separate themselves permanently from the party. This means the NPP can't win elections again. It is impossible especially when the votes keep lowering. Unfortunately it isn't the first time this is happening. Busia party collapsed and it took many years to recover. NPP is going through the second phase of Busia

In fact this and many more such reckless policies including almighty brazen corruption is the reason why NPP should continue to be in opposition so that they would not use Ghanaians as guinea bigs for their thoughtless experiments. Another reason is the mining licence.How on earth would NPP issue over 2000 mining licences during transition period and tend round to put pressure on a Nine month old government to clean the mess they have left behind?.Lord have mercy.

Those NPP party Executives should have resigned enmass for new Executives to be elected but through one party state shenanigans by Akuffo Addo Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINALS have manipulated the NPP Elders with bribes but the Ghana electorate are not fools.

You had your time for 8 solid years and used that period to punish Ghanaians. The DDEP was what made your thievery party look wicked, insensitive and disrespectful to Ghanaians. You think Ghanaians gonna give you another chance? I am on person who love the party deep and have decided NOT to vote for you again because of your arrogance, show of opulence, corrupt practices, galamsey amongst others. I voted for JDM and NDC. Should he also fail, then I'm gonna rethink. But to vote back NPP is a big NO. The DDEP killed my pensioned father and I still feel his demise. You guys did not care about your actions on Ghanaians but rather your selfish interests. For me, never again

Yes, Akufo Addo had no regard for pension funds. He connived with some corrupt union leaders to cheat workers of their pension funds in collaboration with Bright Wireku Brobbey and all these happened at the Jubilee House. They side stepped Act 766 and used their own dubious method to slash workers' pension funds into half and they later shared the remaining half among themselves. When the agreed workers protested, Wireku Brobbey, the then Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour Relations arrogantly to the aggrieved workers to go to court knowing very well that they have packed the courts with their favourites. Lo and behold it is not surprising how some of those involved are suffering stroke and incurable diseases. God will surely punish all those involved as they wallow in perpetual opposition.

Idiot! You scammers , fraudsters,cheats and shameless lying npp gang of thieves never had the welfare of Ghanaians at heart. You came to power to greedily amass wealth for yourselves and e-levy was one things you imposed on Ghanaians to steal us.
You said you never consulted Ghanaians on e-levy. A shameless liar! What about the town hall meetings you people held to convince your gullible supporters about imposition of e-levy. You think we have forgotten? You greedy pigs and dogs though you would be in power forever simply because the current EC chair person was put there by you to rig elections for you, the former chief justice was there to rule in favour in case you lost the elections and took the case to supreme Court and your shambolic, bolla free education you implemented in order to deceive Ghanaians to always vote you to remain in power forever. But Ghanaians are wiser and we voted you group of dirty criminals out power. Money conscious group of idiots destroying Ghana.

Did you have any respect for Ghanaians or you treated them as a bunch idiots and subjected them to cruelty and wickedness.

Listen to these illiterate NDC ANIMALS saying bad things about NPP. You don't have any shame. What has Mahama done since he came to power. He has removed E-levy but how many taxes has he introduced? How many times has he increased light and water bills? How many times has he increased petrol prices? What is the exchange rate of the dollar to the cedi now? Has Free SHS become better or worse? What about teachers and nurses? Then cocoa price; has Mahama paid the GC6,000 he promised the farmers? You're still doing propaganda but the truth is that Ghanaians have regretted voting for Mahama and his NDC cohorts. No sensible Ghanaian will vote for NDC again. NDC AZAAR government. NDC Aban FOO. NDC Aban BONE. NDC Aban TANTAN!!

Abusiapanin you are the illiterate one on the platform that's why you want us to ignore the brute tyranny perpetrated on Ghanaians by the achem vagabonds like Nana Akufu Addo, Ken Ofori Attah,Ochere Gaby and Govorner Addisin of former Bank of Ghana. How do you expect Ghanaians to forget so soon about your hash policies like E-levy, DDEP, galamsay, etc. What about state capture like the infamous PDF among others. Again, what about arrogance of power where Nana Akufu Addo was instructing our revered chiefs to stand up before greeting him? Don't just provoke Ghanaians. NPP never again. Amen.

THAT E-LEVY---was it so wrong as Isaac B-Nyarko wants us to accept----If the E-LEVY had been allowed to go through in its original form --believe me it was have been a successful way of improving GOVERNMENT REVENUE which was urgently needed to stabilize the ECONOMY----a patriotic contribution by all ----But for the way the usual typical 'PULL HIM DOWN' propaganda to demonize and fight against its introduction as preached by the NDC opposition --it failed ---the final diluted form of the E-LEVY was actually didn't help in any way ---as the NDC had even preached to citizens not to give the E-LEVY any patronage ---hence the expected REVENUE never was gained ---as a result -going to the IMF--an option which the NPP Government wanted to avoid was just not possible.-----To be frank --citizens are short of CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY and as a result most are swayed by the propaganda of 'PULL HIM DOWN.-------So it was not that E-LEVY was forced on Ghanaians---the NDC opposition was successful in downgrading the E-LEVY.
