Samuel Ennin died under him. Now he is suddenly able to investigate the death of Ahmed Suale. What happened to Ennin? What about J.B.'s death? Danquah? Why isn't it checkedif it's easy to check in a broad stroke? Mr. Ahiagbah asked.

“We live in a government that has failed to fulfill its promisesto the good people of Ghana. He [Richard Ahiagbah is speakingliterally from the left and right side of his mouth, I think all he is thinking is how to make President Mahama look and sound disbelieving, " he said.
Mrs. Mogtari pointed out that the NDC is the best in governing the country since it has fulfilled many promises made to Ghanaians. “We are really where we are and we have many Ghanaians, young and old, listening and paying close attention, watching and waiting to see what Mr.Mahama will do. -enye tells you one thing; that Mr. Mahama has shown that he is recovering well.
“Mr Mahama has an opportunity to prove that he did not say that everything isperfect under his leadership.But, go back and look up the Perception Perception Index. We were doing better. Go check out freedom of the press. We were doing better. “See the Ghana Integrity Initiative report. We were doing better. Even in terms of media freedom, we are doing better. In terms of perseverance, accountability, leadership and integrity, we are doing better,” he said.

“When you look at the stats, it'snot just the percentage, which is 98.9%, but the different regionsand the numbers coming in, he [John Mahama] got a lot of support in some regions. In fact, to get the full number of around2,880 from Ashiaman is very powerful.
“Although we know that Ashiaman is a strong area for the NDC, that tells you that the delegates went to it. And if the voting process in those areas is anything to go by in terms of representation in the judiciary,then we can expect that to be a straightforward victory perhaps for the NDC in 2024, "he said.
