    Ghana will not be the same after the verdict. Nation wrecker Akufo-Addo knew that already, but he embarked on his path of destruction, urge on bootlicking cousins and idiotic cronies.

    Kennedy sat in his radio station inciting riots, and when he taken for questioning, the whole NPP stormed the station to get him release. Would they have done that, if they didn't think they were above the law?

    Afari-Gyan did not ask NPP to go to court.

    He merely pointed out to NPP that the constitution allowed them to seek legal redress if they were not happy with the electoral declaration.

    The verdict of the supreme court shouldn't create a problem for any party or anybody in Ghana. It is like a football game, there will be a loser and a winner. We must accept that reality.
