    After 30 years in opposition, the NPP got into power led by a very greedy thief who LOOTED AND LOOTED AND LOOTED. Owusu Afriyie wants to same senario again but it would not happen. Ghanaians are wiser

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 8 years ago

    Oh it is then true that you were not living on your income when your party was in power. A confessing of being in opposition as very painful because you are feeding well.

  • Mosi Tatupu 8 years ago

  • MUGU YARO 8 years ago
