Please,open your confused mind to reality.The executives were there to settle impasse between the Ashanti regional chairman and Joseph Yamin faction.Their Hawks have flown over them.Their Hawks guarding their headquarters fought among themselves. Wotu adu bone a ebeka wano.They have swollen their own bitter pill. ***barred word***
I guess Asiedu Nketiah left his boots for the hungry hawks to use the leather to quench the hunger. ***barred word***, next time hold such meeting outside Ghana
YOU ARE ***barred word***.
Interesting times ahead ooo Next week i will organise meeting of all Diplomats in Ghana in the house of JDM in Accra. The agenda is to buttress the point of JDM that his party was born out of violence. All the pictures are available. Violence begat violence episode. They should come watch the 'peaceful party' NDC displaying peace gestures in Kumasi. Apuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Shamefulllllllll party
Ooooh,this time party members are killing themselves.Where is John bull Mahama?? assemble ur diplomats and show them pictures and videos of this one too ***barred word*** former president.
Where is that ii1111dio0t Mahama, one person is dead at your party's own meeting. What are you saying. Assemble diplomats and tell them what has happened.
SO SOMEONE TELL, IS IT THE INVINCIBLE FORCES THAT DISRUPTED THE MEETING AND KILL ONE PERSON?. WE ALWAYS SAY NDC IS VOILENT PARTY. AS MAHAMA SAID THEY HAVE REVOLUTIONERY ROOT EVERYTHING THEY IS VOILENCE AND GUNS.
am suspecting the invincible forces. look for them and arrest all of them.
There would be no investigation because Asiedu Nketia says he does not trust the Ghana Police. 'TRAIN THE HAWKS AND THEY WILL FLY ABOVE YOU'
WHERE IS MAHAMA SOMEBODY HAS DEATH HERE SO LET THE WORLD KNOW THIS MR JOHN MAHAMA
