The Daily Guide’spublication was one of such mis-information and misrepresentations designed to fit into the plan of their pay masters to whip up support in the region, the main stronghold of theNPP. The article alleged that President John Evans Atta Mills has commissioned a team of experts, tasked to devise ways and means to enable him win the coming electionsby hook or crook, targeting the Ashanti region forconfusion.
