    And empty barrels like you will talk like this. Find something to talk about. What is your campaign plan. What do you intend doing should your party assume the high office in the country Ghana. You are old but very senseless.

  • Pelicles 7 years ago

    Nkrumah should blame himself for inviting the 1966 coup. Who will love to kill the geese that lays the golden egg? Unless something unthinkable happens and that "unthinkable something" is what initiated the 1966 coup.
