    John Mahama, please we don't need a national cathedral. Drop that idea.

  • Kwaku Tee 11 months ago

    The best place to build the National Cathedral is in John Dramani Mahama's stomach. The keys to the building shd be kept with Ibrahim Mahama with their children being Mgt Committee members of the building.
