What's wrong with Ayigbes in NDC?The AG has so far not concluded with its investigation,to come up with any criminal case yet these ppl are thinking of Ken Ofori Atta's assets. This shows that Ayigbes Envy the man.

The Akyem Abuakwa criminals came to borrow $51 Billion US dollars and looted them ALL for our grand children to pay for their stealing. Their descendants will always be RICH, whilst their stolen money is being paid using our grand children cocoa and other exports plus interest to the white man and woman. Akyem Abuakwa people are unpatriotic and ungrateful people from the Eastern Region of Ghana. The TINY population Akyems want to ALWAYS RULE THE MAJORITY. Why NOT blame Akuffo Addo, the ugly, ungrateful and puppet master COUSIN of Ken Ofori Atta. It was Akuffo Addo who REFUSED TO REMOVE HIS COUSIN WHEN 98 NPP MPs went to meet him to discuss their unhappiness with the performance of his friends and familiy government. Akuffo Addo REFUSED TO MEET THE 98 NPP MPs. Akuffo Addo put HIS FAMILY ABOVE THE GHANA NATIONAL INTEREST. Akuffo Addo family ARE TRAITORS. THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND THIEVES FROM J B DANQUAH, AKUFFO ADDO FATHER, PAA WILLIE. Akuffo Addo DID NOT COMPLETE EVEN ONE PROJECT FOR US ASHANTIS WHO VOTED MASSIVELY TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT. IT IS AKUFFO ADDO WHO TOLD KEN OFORI ATTA TO RUN AWAY BECAUSE AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA ENJOY IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION. YOU CANNOT PROSECUTE AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA.

Late JJ Rawlings could not even renovate The Agbotui family house in his mother's village after 19yrs in power.He rather built about 5 mansions for himself,wife and children in Ridge,Trassasco and Sogakope.Such a Greedy ,Wicked Ayigbe bastard is what NDC Ayigbe followers worship. His own mother's house in Tema Comm 11 could not be completed bcoz his half brother and sister will enjoy it when the mother is not around.

All these dirty and inferior people are making wild allegations against their superiors. Politics is not good. How did this dirty character get the details of Ken Ofori Atta’s assets? Some of you say you spent your first ten years looking after cows, sheep and goats before going to school. This means that your formative years were spent stupidly. If somebody spent the first ten years tending cows and sheep, how will he behave after university education? Stupidly of course. This explains why there are lots and lots of idiots in the system

The Ghana electorate remember the NPP AKYEM Abuakwa CRIMINALS Akuffo Addo government arrogance and disrespect to the people WHO GAVE YOU POWER. AKUFFO ADDO FAILURE TO remove his cousin Ken Ofori Atta who was causing financial loss to the State of Ghana and the electorate. Akuffo Addo became President by default of the DUMSOR nightmare, which was incorrectly blamed on President Mahama. The DUMSOR nightmare was the failure of the successive governments to address the energy needs of the growing population of Ghana. Dr Kwame Nkrumah constructed the Akosombo Dam and was constructiing the Bui and Kpong dams and he was removed by the TRAITORS and UNPATRIOTIC EWES IGP Harlley and the Deputy IGP Deku with Kotoka by taking the CIA bribes of 10 million US dollars each to betray Mother Ghana.

Them belly full but them hungry. They claim to sit on Sika Koko, their chiefs are the greatest on earth, have no education,brag a lot. The truth is the group with the loudest voice in any society turn to be the most stupid. I wonder what these tribes would have bragged about if Elon Musk and Obama came from those regions
Please mere dirty brags with no data to prove your point is vague. We are in 2026 and just anecdotal evidences are meaningless. I am proud of you Nana Agyeman Badu the 2nd of Brong Ahafo.l am not a Brong but that is the chief who gets my respect.
