So far as a Party, the only person with the requisite composure, aura, achievements…

I can appreciate the eagerness members of the NDC want to see and to partake in the upcoming elections, to me, it shows signs of victory. However, let’s be circumspect in what we circulate and share. Many executives have had calls to confirm or deny some timetable making the rounds. FEC is taking measures to ensure the upcoming elections go through an effective clearing system. Don’t forget the branches are our first safety net on the day of elections. It cannot be business as usual. We just came out of an elections which we won…

They have provided us plenty to ponder over…

I have become aware of the  Presidency’s response to my unimpeachable revelations that President Akufo-Addo has for the umpteenth time, chartered an ultra-luxury executive jet on his current two-nation tour of Belgium and Rwanda. It is absolutely noteworthy that the statement signed by Mr. Eugene Arhin confirms that indeed President Akufo-Addo chartered an executive jet. The Presidency’s statement did not and could not have denied that they chartered the ostentatious €20,000 an hour ACJ319, registered D-Alex and operated by German-based K5-Aviation. It is important to highlight that nowhere in my Facebook post did I suggest that…
