The Bawku conflict is a politically induced conflict. Those behind it are well known. So what’s the Minister talking about?

I have heard that some idiots, uncultured, stupid, evil, demons, satanic buffoons, are jubilating of the passing of Mame Akua Donkor, because of politics. I pray for God to visit such demons, their families and political leaders, with disasters, calamities, untimely deaths etc.

Madam Akua Donkor is dead, and none of the so-called prophets couldn’t see it coming

QUESTIONS FOR JOHN MAHAMA
I have just read questions posed to me by former President Mahama. I would have thought he would be man enough to face me in a one-on-one debate for the Ghanaian public to assess our respective policies, achievements and visions. He should not hide… pic.twitter.com/p3ViKn5KkT

Only five (5) questions for Bawumia to answer truthfully. #ResettingGhana pic.twitter.com/ZXDPGBtG4M

John Mahama: Why have you run away from giving lectures on the economy? Why has the word ‘economy’ disappeared from your lexicon?
