Ei NPP, instead of addressing the numerous challenges that confronts us as a nation, you guys are rather interested in founders and founder's day. Will changing a holiday tar a road or give us portable water? NDC and NPP are just wasting our time. Misplaced priorities

Make argument based on principle not on party sentiments. The country was not founded by Nkrumah and that is a fact. He was the leader of the group and not a one man show. Just understand that and you will not argue NPP or NDC. Guys these guys are going to destroy our country.
You can go to hell
