I have no problem with the names of the people mentioned above except one ADJIRI BLANKSON. He was the one that talked (RUBB1S*H! when being interviewed on the night JM accepted defeat on joys news that he and his party will arrest the NDC people left right center. He had to be whisked away from spewing further garbage. How can you appoint such a person to the council of state. What sort of advice will he be giving when he already has bad intentions. Nana Addo. We are watching you. 2020 IS NOT FAR AWAY. You did not win the election from votes from only your party faithfuls so do not be (fo0l!ed by the votes you had.
