@KevinEkowTaylor You feel comfortable to ridicule others.

@EFrancis92913 @scottbolshevik People have no idea what the PDA was? Bill Sutherland a right hand man of Gbedema and someone who had been with the CPP through independence criticized the PDA. He was told if he wasn’t a friend of the party he would have been deported. Guns and Gandhi in Africa, p.45

[Isaac Owusu Nsiah @owusu_nsiah]

@EFrancis92913 @scottbolshevik What charges? Why wasn’t he tried in court? You should read about the PDA. It was a weaponized strategy Nkrumah used to terrorize his opponents. The PDA deemed that critics of Nkrumah were enemies of the state.

[Isaac Owusu Nsiah @owusu_nsiah]

@scottbolshevik Has anybody read thoroughly about the PDA?

Succession crisis and ensuing internal party rifts contributed to the NPPs defeat. #partyorganisationhaselectoral significance

@malik_basintale @JDMahama Recently, watwe wo nkrant3 s3 show me your weapon…. It’s quite interesting for a young politician as yourself in this era of politicking to behave in that manner. You are such a fine young man with a great political future. Violence is a no!

@kwasi_PrattJnr What is actually going to happen come December 7? We are going to vote and nothing bad will happen. And why are you people thinking the NDC is going to win the Elections? The outcome still remains uncertain. Let’s wait and see!
