Tell me, which party is Ghana is noted for election rigging, apart from NDC? Which part was dragged to supreme court in 2013 for election rigging? Ask Kofi Adam who said that NDC lost because their IT system failed them. Does IT wins elections? Please I wish you all the best in your opposition status!! I pray that you remain there till they kingdom come now that electoral vigilance has come to stay. lol'
Peace fm show some respect..its Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei...Correct it ..
the lunacy has just begun. fictitious president who stole elections through hacking . worst will follow MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATION MINISTER FOR INFORMATION WHAT ***barred word***
Hi Fellow Ghanaians, we expect the president to fix the economy and make life comfortable for Ghanaians and we are complaining about the new ministries he is creating? Let us give him space, visionary leaders are very controversial but at the end of the season they deliver. President Nana Addo knows what he was doing. The truth is that the NPP manifesto was created around these ministries. Keep calm and see the results. If he underperform as a president, he will be voted out in 2020. Ghanaians have demonstrated that in 2016. It is too early to criticize the president.
The cards are still dropping so wait we are going forward.
Zongo affair really nana
THERE IS NO REGIONAL BALANCE IN THESE APPOINTMENTS. OUT OF 36 ONLY 1 FROM CENTRAL REGION. TOOOOOO BAD
