NOT NEEDED . JOB FOR THE BOYS. WASTE OF STATE RESOURCES. NPP IS DOOMED. LOST PRIORITY ALREADY.
shame unto the PRO of Chief Imam for telling lies
President Rawlings was right to say the ndc were losing their minds. They think this inferior tactics that sent them to opposition will still work for them. Hahahaha ! It is difficult bringing up a fo*l than to bring forth a fo*l. NPP will SUCCEED and Ghana will progress and Prosper.
But why are some people trying to create the impression that the chief imam was not consulted and that he knew nothing about this committee? I'm seeing a completely different picture here. This ndc hoodlum won't stop to amaze me.
