An expectation on a non-existence political capital in this Menzgold scenario would result in the shot of the campaign in the foot”.
We are dealing with a commercial challenge and we are very resolute, committed and focused to overcome. Vitally both, both sides should respectfully commit to bread & butter issues based campaign in appealing to voters. The Ghanaian political culture has greatly changed and improved. #Ghanashallprosperagain,”he said.
