Initially I thought Amewu was demoted especially after doing so very well as the energy minister not thinking how the president always takes him to difficult ministries and he always get the impossible task get done. Bawumia/Amewu ticket will unite Ghanaians and work well for the development of our great nation. I suggested this dream ticket first.
