PRICES OF GOODS AND SERVICES ARE INCREASING AND NANA ADDO IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN LEAKED THROUGH WIKILEAKS AND CORROBORATED BY FORMER CLOSE PAL KWESI PRAT???!!!
WE THANK GOD.
When did insulting a president become a crime. Even Donald trump and Obama as well as the British prime minister are all called names. Is it not a fact that nana Addo has used weed and hard drugs in the past? Nana Addo should be very careful the way he has started because there is going to be a time that a new government could arrest most Npp faithfuls for anything they say. Rawlings was insulted, kuffour was insulted, mahama was insulted by no less a person than barwumia's wife, but no one arrested her. Nana Addo himself insulted both Rawlings and atta mills, who arrested him. Much as insulting our leaders is wrong. The government should not start this type of use.less and needless war. Appiah stadium has short himself from the top for apologizing yesterday. He could have had the ndc party standing by him. For saying he was not going to defend John mahama anymore, he is likely to deal with this situation on his own.
Oldman kapwepwe president Akuful Addo stop the authoritarian rule. Appiah Stadium exercised his right of freed speech the same way you did when in opposition. If Akufo Addo feels Appiah has insulted him he must sue him for defamation and stop using the national security to harass the young man. What wasn't done to president Mahama? Some id*iot is going to say two wrongs don't make a right but what did you say when the NPP maggots where insulting Mahama? Etua wo yonko ho a etua dua mu.
HE SHOULD GO TO THE LAW COURT AND PROVE HIS CASE....F00L LIKE THAT
