Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

Massa, widen your view. Can you see the other developments in other parts of the country or do you want some of us to assume that previews governments have deprived this gonja people? Are they not ghanaians too? I respect your views, but make it constructive. There are people from these lands who voted for other political parties. Grow Up. Let put aside this prejudice and come together as one nation under God.

. If JJ had been tribalistic and sectionalistic like Mahama, he would have spent the whole of Ghana's money to make Volta Region heaven on earth and there wouldn't be any electricity in the north? If Mahama has used 2years to pump hard-earned Ghana money to lavishly transform Gonjaland then JJ Rawlings wasted 20years by not doing anything to transform Eweland. Three and a half years of Atta Mills presidensy will also be termed as a waste for Fantis and Ekumfi Etuam people since the good old Prof could not do for Fantis, and Etuam people, a tenth of what Mahama has done for Gonjas in two years.

Nana Addo’s futile and nonsensical evidence presented to the great court of the land, champion by his “HIP POP Political Economist” Dr. Bawumia sent a grey signal to stakeholders of this country and scared majority of businesses especially the multi nationals and some local entrepreneurs to withhold their vibrant activities due to widespread of war mongering and collateral damage meted out to life and properties (especially when one considers the serial market burnings) which was looming in the country all because Nana Addo and his men have lost an election and they are simply refusing to accept defeat; when it was very glare that they have lost. they immediately converged at Obra Spot @ Dr. Nkrumah Circle to shout war slogans and advanced their treacherous treat on innocent men and women in the country simply because they wear T-shits and banners of his opponent the obvious and legitimate victor.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo’s form of power drunk from my perspective is very dirty and primitive, he could be worst than that of Mobutu Sese – Seko or Iddi Amin. He has no respect for anyone within his party or outside his party; except when he sees you to be buying into his ideology. This extinct stinking primitive ideology, which is stale and unproductive for nation building; an ideology that prescribes hatred and racism against opponents is not only outrageously abhorring but gross indelibly stinking and evil. This does not fit in this digital age where countries everywhere are progressing. Was Nana Addo Dankwa not at the peace council when memorandum of understanding was signed by all parties? Why did he over rule the very memorandum he personally appended his signature to, by organising masses at “obra spot” to protest against an election when he and his cohorts have not done any diligence as to whether there was real evidence of electoral fraud before going to the court? They were not able to bring a shred of evidence that can amount to an unprecedented value of electoral malpractices other than relying on the periphery of some minor human errors to make a case.

Why has Nana Addo and Bawumia scared all investors away as if there will be mayhem in our dear country when all indicators were good for our economic growth? Which investor will go ahead to invest in a country where they perceived there will be war or turbulent? Which investors in their right sense of mind will invest in Afghanistan, Syria or Iraq with the view of making profit at the current circumstances in these countries?
Today Nana Addo and Bawumia are here telling Ghanaians that the economy is fragile and people are suffering together with their false prophets whose stomach are their benchmark and will not stop at anything than to cause much agitation in the country when in actual fact they are the cause of all these turbulence. (Professors: Martey, Adei, Prempeh and Dr Mensa Otabil, Bishop Ayensu and Bosomtwi) You claim to be learned people but are you really discernible? Search within you and do the right things by right processes. That’s piece for you.

We are where we are now because of the ill behaviour of Nana Addo and his friends who have pledged “all die be die” and will careless about anything good for the people of the country until he is made president. We have enjoyed tremendous peace and freedom, steady economic growth, unprecedented single inflation digit for a very long period until Nana Addo lost an election, then markets started burning, workers are being influenced to strike on a least agitation not because they have not been paid but because of austerity measures which has hit every country every where.

The petition was frivolous and without merit. The Supreme Court hearings were all designed for Akuffo Addo to save face and for his fanatical supporters who were threatening violence to be appeased. The whole episode was a shame on the country especially the comical, bush and rowdy scenes in the court and the combative and unpolished behaviour by the lawyers.

To begin with,Nana Addo declared that the 2012 general elections was fraud but at the same time wanted the Supreme Court to declare him winner.NPP knew very well and good that Nana Addo lost the presidential elections but they tried to sneak in some useless evidence to take advantage of the few irregularities which were not enough to overturn the official results declared by the EC.NPP fooled their supporters that Nana Addo has won the elections and Afrari Gyan stole it for Mahama.Dr Bawumia and Addision tried so many mafia tricks to steal the verdict of the people but the judges didn't buy their stupid petition.Now the problem here is that if Nana Addo wins the next elections,I am very sure that NDC will pay him back with his own coin.It was for this reason that NPP should have changed Nana Addo.The whole electoral petition was a complete fiasco.Thank you.

Congratulations Lawyer Phillip Addison for your good works at the Election Petition hearing at the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Atuguba. Everyone saw what happened; there was overwhelming evidence that exposed the EC and the NDC in their dubious electoral schemes. You've opened the eyes of Ghanaians, even including foreigners, like those here in Canada who watched the proceedings in court for the entire duration. Stay blessed; I wish you all the best in your quest to represent the NPP in your constituency.

Addison is one of the finest lawyers and a gentleman ghana can ever have. A well trained, decent personality. Any constituency that will have him mp has got a great brain. I dare the executives not to be selfish but to think of ghana nd NPP nd vote for Addison. Addison, you are a great brain. Don't give audience to those stupid comments from useless minds who would nt eat if they don't run to their dead goat party's office for help. At least you exposed some stupid justices and lawyers who foolishly nd criminally legitimised ballot stafing. You made them loose their consequences. You are simply good. And you will be a good material in parliament. May anybody who unreasonably denegrade u on this platform or attempt same on me be blind in Jesus Name
