It would have been good not to come to talk plenty that you will not go. At least you should have demonstrated to young NDC voters to respect the law. But no you make all the noise that you won't go and then around to talk ***barred word*** when compelled to. SIMPA PAYIN!!!!
Man pass man! I thought the NDC said they will not allow their chairman to honor the invitation. Radio talk noise is different from the law oo. Joke and see what will happen to you. Evil plotters parading as CHURCH ELDERS. The Pentecost church kraa I don't know their problem. How can they habour such criminal characters? and they are still silent on the matter?
Oh upon all the mouth mouth? So where were the NDC blokes who followed him the other day. WeLL, Law is law. NDC cannot do FOOKO.
go and tell this to the marines
He was not arrest, Ofosu knew it was matter of time, and also why was he detained for many hours ?
Although, Ofosu Ampofu has not been charged by the police but it is embarrassing that NDC national chairman who is supposed to be a patriotic and responsible citizen should get himself involved in such issues. Those seeking to govern Ghana should be responsible and patriotic and not put their party first above their country. Remember, there is no fire without a smoke, I think Ofosu Ampofu has questions to answer. Why was not Sammy Gyamfi or Asiedu Nketiah arrested but Ofosu Ampofu? NDC is letting Ghana down once again because they want to win elections and get their hands on resources of the country. Why is that NDC has not come to terms with the fact that Nana Addo has a mandate to govern for 4 years and criticise him constructively. Ghanaians are becoming aware that NDC is negative and even speak against free SHS. How can this be?
The table has overturn AREADY. Do you remember Dr. Wereku Brobby fr. GNPC boss during Kofour's regime and the fr. Chief of Staff from Npp time. They were arrested by NDC gov't John Mills and John Mahama first term. Do you remember that Nana King m? NDC will stay in opposition for long paaaa..
nana addo and NPP the table will turn one day and very soon. i rest my case
Folks let's wake up and get rid of NDC as a party and their shallow minded followers. They have no respect for the rule law and think Ghana belongs to them. They nearly colapsed our dear country with their incompetence. Just two and a half years in opposition and they are behaving like a bunch of ***barred word***. All the kidnapping, fire outbreaks and arm robberies are ochestrated by NDC. A party full of blood thirsty leaders who are willing to do anything to make the current administration unpopular but their plans are being exposed day by day.
Useleess asiedu nketia. I thought you guys said your criminal chairman should not honour the invitation from the CID boss. Now what changed? Whether the whale swallowed Yona or Yona swallowed the whale is was the same swallow. Whether your criminal chairman turned himself in or he was arrested, it is the same arrest. I thought you NDC idioots were men who have balls between your legs. We shall teach lessons you will never forget. Even your lawyers and communicators are semi-literates. They do not know that all offences are dealt with in separate merits. If you steal a fowl and you are arraigned before the court, if you steal mobile phone again, the case of stealing mobile phone will not be added to the fowl because you are the same person. Please common sense is common but not common to NDC people.
