  • KB 7 years ago

    Up north they have enjoyed it people did not ask whether it is sustainable or not. We are extending it down south and you are complaining. What is good for the north is okay with the south.

    Old man K B Asante is an NDC and an old CPP. Anything from the UP tradition I.e. NPP is not good. He will have to speak against it. Just ignore him and rule the nation. Ghanaians voted for NPP and not K B Asante.
