But JJ was not part of NDC campaign,a party he ccalled with his blood,he kept off,and you're advising someone to unify.
Thank you Papa J for you kind and encouraging words. Regarding the need to unite the people, I learnt you Papa J, Prof. Kofi Awoonor and other cadres sowed the seed of division for political gains, now we are reaping the fruits of your seeds. Kofi Awoonor is gone, fortunately you are here, you will have to help Nana Addo and co. to uproot the divisive seeds you sowed, because, Ghanaians were one before you came unto the scene, and Ghana has never been the same. I hope you will take this recommendation in good faith. Thank you once again
wow, its been a while since i've seen JJ smile... awww lovely.
THERE IS A TENANT IN MY HOUSE SAID HE WAS KEEPING HIS SON AT HOME NOT TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE NANA ADDO IS COMING WITH FREE SCHOOL FREE UNIFORM AND SCHOOL FEEDING. HOPE HIS DEREAM WILL COME TRUE NOW THAT NANA ADDO HAS WON THE ELECTION.

Mother Ghana need all the money looted by the previous Government and appointees to rebuild Ghana. even if they had deposited the money in foreign Banks in abroad or bought properties outside the country. we must help this incoming president to retrieves all the money stolen by the previous Government.
