@Citi973 When are we going to understand that prayer does not solve human problems. We cannot pray our way out of problems we foolishly behaved into.

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@ghonetv He should use his influence to lobby the government to do the right thing and act to prevent this from recurring.

@MichaelDapaah Definitely coming to Accra 😂

@DPJHodges There was clearly PRESSURE, regardless of how they interpret it. Two things here - an Action and a Reaction. There fact that there was reaction to the action doesn’t mean there was no action. Clearly, Sir Ollie and team didn’t bend under pressure does not mean there was none.

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@ghonetv Awesome 🤩

2 hours later, I was told there was no room and that they will check me into a lounge because there is a flight at 11.30pm so I have to wait for another 6 hours in a lounge for the flight. Such a useless airline @flyethiopian

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@flyethiopian you shame Africa. The level of incompetence with this airline is beyond belief. Flight delayed from Riyadh to Addis for over 6hours meaning I was going to miss 2 connecting flights. Ticket desk at airport told me I will be booked onto the next available flight…

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

The next available flight they told me was 8.45am in the morning to Johannesburg so they do book me into a hotel. I waited for over 3 hours where the personnel attending to me said the hotel has been booked and only waiting for confirmation.

@ghonetv Produce and export is good but processing is the key thing.

“This cannot simply be a gesture but a safeguard…” basically, the role was handed over to Mandelson as a gesture according to Morgan McSweeney. @Peston

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Morgan McSweeney’s resignation statement

“After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the government.

The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.

When asked, I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice. In public life responsibility must be owned when it matters most, not just when it is most convenient. In the circumstances, the only honourable course is to step aside.

This has not been an easy decision. Much has been written and said about me over the years but my motivations have always been simple: I have worked every day to elect and support a government that puts the lives of ordinary people first and leads us to a better future for our great country. Only a Labour government will do that. I leave with pride in all we have achieved mixed with regret at the circumstances of my departure. But I have always believed there are moments when you must accept your responsibility and step aside for the bigger cause.

As I leave I have two further reflections:

Firstly, and most importantly, we must remember the women and girls whose lives were ruined by Jeffrey Epstein and whose voices went unheard for far too long.

Secondly, while I did not oversee the due diligence and vetting process, I believe that process must now be fundamentally overhauled. This cannot simply be a gesture but a safeguard for the future.

I remain fully supportive of the Prime Minister. He is working every day to rebuild trust, restore standards and serve the country. I will continue to back that mission in whatever way I can. It has been the honour of my life to serve.”

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@jeenyujeen @ghonetv He will be waiting for a very long time then.

@ghonetv @starr1035fm They never see good things. Prophets of doom.

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@ghonetv @starr1035fm Unnecessary prophesies. This country ankasa we are sick.

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@ghonetv @starr1035fm What do we really benefit from Nigel? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Isaac Asare @mankind_4u]

@ghonetv @starr1035fm We waste too much airtime as a country on religious figures who contribute nothing but sow division. We should focus more on figures who make policies and decisions that affect the ordinary Ghanaian. No wonder accountability in public life is almost dead in Ghana.
