REX GYIMIFUO BA. TYPICAL IGNORANT NDC MORON
When I read gyimi tales, exhibitions of disrespect and clear signs of bad upbringing from a Ghanaian I immediately conclude that such a person comes from a very bad home and is also the product of a broken marriage. No sensible human conceived for 9 months and born by a woman will write such brain dead nonsense. Have you always been in Ghana? Or you just came from Afghanistan? You should be ashamed of yourself. Do you have elders in your family? Were you trained as a human being to live with humans? Or you were reared to behave like a goat or sheep? Or even a dog? Dogs behave better. Go on insulting people old enough to be your grandfather. Do you have any human being in your family who has led a good life like the President? Wait for your punishment from God. I can assure you that it will certainly come very soon. ABOAFUNU. GYIMIFUO BA.

But he has had the time to respond to every tiny & petty comment that people have made about his kleptocratic governance.

Hmmm! If this Karen Attiah is basing her opinion on TV3's post on X then she not a good journalist. Her ignorant write up is useless. This media outlet is not a credible source of information. It is doing the bidding of the opposition, who are known supporters of the galamsey menace. In fact journalists in Ghana are all hypocritical of the galamsey going in the country. The President has done his best to halt this menace but the opposition party, NDC, is undermining his effort, and these so called journalists are all aware.

Karen I don't think you have taken time to watch the nonsense that took place during this anti-galamsey demonstration. Karen how would you react to demonstrators blocking a road leading to a hospital just because 'patriotic citizens are demonstrating against galamsey activities ? I can say for a fact that some of the demonstrators are beneficiaries of galamsey. We must face facts, galamsey is a monster and needs to be fought from all fronts but not the way these demonstrators exhibited. The arrests were in order and let's wait and see what the court will say eventually. But personally, no tears for them. How can a lawyer opened police truck and removed the keys to the truck from its ignition and threw the keys away and needs to be applauded ?
