“President John Mahama, you do not want to throw a tantrum. It is too early to do that. But know that eyes are watching. As you put your government together, we want you to stick to your word on corruption, galamsey fraud and the LGBTQ issues. Many Ghanaians voted for you because we saw the greatest ethical standards when you said this, do not backtrack nor side track or you shall be a big disappointment” he noted.
