    We must learn to obey instructions and laws in Ghana- the SC allowing NDC to file after deadline is wrong

  • tiger shark 10 years ago

    if w should obey laws and rules really then the npp Petition should have been thrown out since Long as they continued trying to trick the court

  • ATSU, HO 10 years ago

    IT IS OK TO ADMIT ERRORS TO AVOID DISCONTENT THAT CAN RESULT IM VIOLENCE. GIVE EVERY BODY A FAIR HEARING KNOWING THAT TO ERR IS HUMAN. I ONLY HOPE THAT THE TRUTH IN THIS WHOLE MATTER WILL PREVAIL AT THE END OF THE DAY

  • DAVI 10 years ago

    ANY FOOL CAN GO TO COURT,YET NDC DID NOT MEET THE COURT DEADLINE AND FOLLOW S.C.JUDGES ORDERS.WHAT SHAME,TSATSU WAS JUST FIRST WAITING TO LEARN FROM NPP'S ADDRESS.

  • Nemesis 10 years ago

    I believe that Tsatsu was jailed by an NPP panel of judges, appointed by K4!!! NDC lost all court cases in the NPP era because of appointed NPP sympathetic judges by K4 and co. I am actually disappointed that this circus has ...

  • LATE FILING MEANINGLESS 10 years ago

    The judges knows the STEALERS already from the court proceedings and have made their mind already so NDC filing late changes nothing

  • JIMAKPL3 10 years ago

    Tsikata's attitude will never change - he has no good up-bringing. That rat lacks morale. His queer behaviour will always follow him - jailer!!!

  • Dumega Prosper Jnr. 10 years ago

    Nonsense!! There is no one up there in the Narcotic Peddlers Party alias NPP who is worth Tsikatas clout and legal acumen!
    Hate it or leave it!!!!!!!

    YOU ARE A FOOL AND ALSO AS IGNORANT AS NDC FOOT-SOLDIERS AND LAWYERS. THE WORD IS NOT 'ESCAPEGOAT' BUT RATHER A 'SCAPEGOAT'. FOOL!

    The correct word is scapegoat not escapegoat. Ewe man KOLA, you must learn to write proper English.

    Inasmuch as Tsatsu's inefficiency cannot affect his client the NDC, then it's very clear that the inefficiency of some EC Poling Agents CANNOT affect the SACRED VOTES of VOTERS full stop!!!

  • TROUBLE-MAKER 10 years ago

    Yes oooo.That NPP registrar intentionally left the office early for NDC`s address to be thrown out of court.
    You could say that again.Tsatsu couldn`t trust the goon with his credible and quality address.

  • Joe Kojo 10 years ago

    I could not agree more with you, judging from the way they smuggled etra boxes of pink sheets into the registry a couple of weeks ago. Shameless, all die be die, loosers.
