NDC may soon launch ‘Ashawos for Mahama’ – Afia Pokua
Vim Lady1

Afia Pokua popularly known as Vim Lady stationed with Despite Media Group has said very soon, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) may be launching Ashawos for Mahama as the 2020 campaign heats up.

Speaking on Okay FM, she said because NDC has not learnt any lessons, they will soon be launching “Ashawos for Mahama, Ladies for Mahama”.

According to her, the NPP must learn lessons from how then-incumbent John Mahama run his campaign and repeat the same in 2020.

Afia Pokua Vim Lady has since come under attack following her Ashawo comment. NDC activists on social media have opened fire on her with all manner of unprintable insults.

Her comments come after the former President John Dramani Mahama accepted an apology from the management of the Multimedia Group (former employers of Afia Pokua), operators of Asempa FM after one of their on-air staff “used words that were unpleasant” on his person in a radio broadcast.

Unrepentantly, the journalist who works with Multimedia (Asempa FM) used unprintable words on former president John Mahama after he led a section of his security detail to clear overgrown weeds in the middle belt of the ‘Mahama’ Road in front of the new Military Cemetery in Accra, over the weekend.

The overgrown weeds obstruct the view of motorists, especially towards the roundabout which motivated Mahama and his team to clear the area.

The journalist called Nana Akua Acheampomaa Sarfo-Adu went on air while presenting a political show dubbed “Kanewu” spewed bitter and abusive language against the NDC flagbearer

The hefty tariff on soybeans from the United States has caused a 17 percent import decrease of the produce into China in February 2019, being the lowest level recorded since 2015, General Administration of Customs – Chinese statistical agency, has revealed. In 2017, U.S. soybean exports to China reached a volume of US$14.573 billion. Currently, the United States is the world’s largest soybean producer and second largest exporter, after Brazil. On the other hand, China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans – imported 91 million tonnes in 2018 market year as against 94 million tones the previous year.

GAPNEWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH GHANA l am not too old neither am I too young and certainly I can’t admit to knowing all the problems confronting our dear Nation Ghana, but suffice as it will I have had the speck removed from my eyes and have seen the trajectory of our Governance process as a Nation with my eyes and have come to the conclusion of the very facts I dare state beneath. The trouble in Ghana is simply and squarely a leadership crisis finding its expression in the “volcanic” way of our practice of politics in Ghana. Let me hasten to indicate that there is nothing wrong with the Ghanaian, our land, our climate, our water, and our ability to think and do things for ourselves. The Ghanaian crisis stems from the roots of the unwillingness and the wanton disrespect for patriotism on the part of its leaders to rise to the responsibility of performance beneficial to the good people of Ghana. We have seen quite fairly or if you will strongly in the epoch of our political li...
