What a stupiiiiiid comment. Wait when war starts in Ghana do you think the politicians who give you some few cedis to support them without thinking will carry you along?
Mahama I got the full video of the incident so meet me at Tema motorway and collect it and meet the diplomats and show to them. Fuulish, incompetent and corrupt man
Call the diplomats and show them videos. desperate man.
instigating and calling for investigation, hmmmm boot for boot rehearsal. let's pray for mother Ghana.
QUAQZEA, always asking for investigation while you instigate yoou ***barred word*** to commit crime. Call the diplomats and show this to them to solidify your evil wish for Ghana. You will never br President of Ghana again with all the harm you caused Ghana.
This self-centered man has lost all credibility and if he doesn't fade away from politics soon, women will pour their urine on his face. He's bloating but keeps showing up in public to discredit Ghana - a country he once led as President. How sad? And we pay him monthly salary plus thousands of allowances! Shame unto u power-hungry JDM!
Boot for boot has started...violence indeed in NDC..practice time in Kumasi...
Shame on you John! I am ashamed that you were once my president. Are you not going to put a video presentation together about this and share it with the foreign diplomats? We need to think Ghana and sadly our leaders are so desperate for power that none of them thinks about the wellbeing of the country. As Kofi Boakye said, we have to disband all these vigilante groups now-Azoka boys, hawks, delta force, invisible forces, lizards etc. Any individual or group of individuals who parade as such should be arrested and prosecuted! If we don't do this our democracy will be in serious jeopardy. No civilized country in the world has vigilante groups providing security to political parties.
Why on condemn? You should have sent your revolutionary cadres to also go and kill those people who did that. That will be boot for boot. F00uu11ish man!
Oh, I thought you were going to give the EVIDENCE to the diplomatic corps. INCOMPETENT man!
