At this age you cannot differentiate between a man and woman winter coat and you want to be president of which country? Maybe disputes settler in Sakwah. I laughed teeeeeeeee go wear ladies winter coat. Serious note, Nketsiah should not worry, NDC will build another Asumdee park for him at Sarkea, if it is because of that he wants to be a president. My stomach is hurting me.
Just listen to this one too! Ghana future what? With whose posters?, if I may asked. This primitive interior man, who doesn't know the difference between men and women winter coat wants to be what? in what country? Now that Nketsiah is little bit enlightened by spending time in the coastal belt, wish he goes back to Sarkwa or which ever hole he came from . Nketsiah will only be useful in disputes settling in his village. Besides, whose posters will he use? I doubt Jerry will allow him to use his picture.
TO represent his "Consistency" I think they are referring to "Constituency" Hmmmmmmm!!!!!
If this is ndc last hope as their presidential candidate they better say bye to Ghana politics
A cross dresser presido to have lol
