    If Sedinam Atiornu Tamakloe, Ernest Thompson, Cassiel Ato Forson etc did not go into prison then there's no need keeping Wontumi there. After galamsey fight is not President Mahama's Govt priority

  • Nana 2 days ago

    President Mahama is just a waste of time and space. He's disappointed those who had the wrong faith in him. For some of us he's confirmed what we knew about. Not good enough to lead any group.

    @Nana No one can treat your illness, cuz it has eaten up your brain and sensible reasoning. But don't worry, 20yrs in opposition will reset the brains of you and your fellow lunatic comrades

  • Nana 2 days ago

    @ Owusu
    NPP (UP tradition) was in opposition for 28yrs (1972 -2000) and that helped their brains to grow to come up with very good social policies anytime they get power. Probably NDC also needs to be in opposition for 40yrs ...
