Hahahahahaha.... I can imagine the mosquito and the horse (Ponkoh) running for their lives. Didn't they declare boot for boot? Why did they run? Mahama should re-invite the diplomats once more and brief them. He is the most patriotic.
Where’s the Konkonsa man? He should go and tell diplomats about this too.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A SHAME-LLESS FORMER PRESIDENT DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO COME BACK TO POWER TO STE-AL THE MORE. HE GOES ABOUT PREACHING VIOLENCE , BOOT TO BOOT AND THAT THEY HAVE A REVOLUTIONARY ROOT SO THEY ARE MORE VIOLENT THAN THE OTHERS. THAT MEANS THEY CAN KILL AND GET AWAY WITH IT, WHAT DO WE EXPECT. LET THEM GO AHEAD KILL THEMSELVES. SHAME ON THE NDC AND ITS CORRUPT LEADERS
This new leadership is not smart at all. Why hold a meeting in the stronghold of your opponents at this time when you know that they are desperately looking for means of equalisation.
