John Mahama thinks he is going to rule forever, and the best he can do is to bring the Judiciary under his control. Somebody should tell Mahama that despite president appointing the Judges, he has no control over them.

Mahama appoints 7 NDC apparatchiks to the Supreme Court, fulfilling his long time ambition of having a Unanimous FC to skew rulings in his party’s favor. God safe Ghana.

In a nation where the big thieves; Nam 1, Ken Ofori Atta, Aduboahen, and others are walking free when Nana Agradaa is jailed 15 years, don't you think this is no longer just political but needs wisdom as well. Very soon, the people will no longer go to the courts, they will take the law in their own hands if the judges fail to apply wisdom and they must be told.

John Drossmani Mahama, Agradaa is uncontrollably weeping in prison, and appealing to you to grant her a presidential pardon.

Remember she is the corruption-tainted Sammy Gyamfi's godmother, and also doubles as a member of the witchcraft team that practises sorcery on behalf of the NDC to rig elections.

Show her mercy just as you did to free the extremely stupid "Muntie 3 rogues in the months leading to the 2016 general elections.

You will surely need her to invoke her voodoo gods to help the bloodthirsty NDC in the 2024 elections.
