@Aunty Baby, more people than you who love FREE SHS, PFJ, 1V1D, revived RAILWAY and good bauxite deal will VOTE FOR NANA ADDO!
Dictators do whatever they like,they do not listen to anybody let alone setting of commission of inquiry.John Mahama yentie abiaa syndrome is not part of this government.You can take your vote but a lot of meaningful electorates are ever ready to renew the mandate of this government.What inquiry Mahama did after Talensi,Akwatia,Atiwa, Chiriponi,Amenfi West and Asutifi South. At Talensi ,the then interior minister Mike Woyongo said violence begets violence.Aunty Baby be truthful with your self and come out boldly to condemn the many atrocities your PNDC/NDC party has committed to innocent Ghanaians before you talk of Ayawaso.
The concert of this government is getting out of hand. The joke is too much, the president was simply not prepared for the job. But for Bawumia diee the keast said
Aunty Baby, we all know you're a bloodyyyy NDC member. you can vote for incompetent Mahama, who cares!!! Nana Addo will win hands down like Tsunami...ndc is a party soiled with blood since its birth!!!
