Asiamah four years ago why didn’t they go to the supreme court”.
He further added that the people of Ghana are looking for to seeing how the new majority will work for them, “They should spare us, we have work to do the Ghanaian people are looking up to the new Majority to rescue them and to reset Ghana and that is exactly what we are going to do”, he added.
