His comment did not go down well with the outspoken media personality as she barraged on her ‘Kokonsa Police’ show that she wonders why the NDC will allow “fools” like Stephen Atubiga to meddle in their flagbearership race.
“Which audacity does Stephen Atubiga has to say that if he becomes the candidate, he will not mind picking Mahama as his running mate?” She questioned.
