Mr President, you dont need all these meetings. And to all Ghanaians stop distracting the president and let him work. What we all need just few important stuff: honesty, respect each other, disciplined, work hard, keep your towns clean and lets rule of law work truly work in Ghana
Don't depend on them, pray to God Almighty yourself and your prayers will be heard. God still reigns in the affairs of Men.
Mr President please don't waste your precious time on these so called men of God. They have nothing tangible to offer than their greedy selfish interest. Stay focus with your agenda and do away with corruption and we will be fine as a country.
