The Deputy Communications Director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Maame Yaa Aboagye has appealed to the general public and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to desist from politicizing the Coronavirus Pandemic since the disease does not know ones political colour or affiliation.
According to her the outbreak of the virus is pandemic and not political, instead, all should support efforts by the government to curb the spread of the disease.

"Every Christian is expected to help the nation with prayers because it is important to give ourselves to prayer for solution as government takes measures to curb the spread of the disease in the country,” she stressed.

During the Ebola pandemic, the current president Nana Addo said "Ghanaians would not forgive Mahama if Ebola enters Ghana". Mahama on the other hand, is asking his Ebola Fight Team to work with the Nana Addo Coronavirus Fight Team to fight against against Coronavirus. Madam NPP Communicator, can you see the difference between your Nana Addo and Mahama ??
Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, stop your arrogance. Who are you to threaten journalists? How old were you when Ghana entered the first republic in 1992? You were also a journalist a few years ago at Joy FM and now you are acting as if you are above the laws of Ghana. Is it because many of Akuffo-Addo's appointees have gotten away with galamsey-booty crimes? Ghana is bigger than anyone! Show respect.

The lady was right. Ghana experienced the most dangerous government under ndc more than corona virus so there is no fear and panic just ndc are creating the unthinkable ! It will land on your heads. EBOLA only affected some parts of Africa not every place but CONVID-19 is a worldwide infection so stop comparing EBOLA to CONVID-19 and find a running mate for your ***barred word*** flagbearer who has been president before but cant convince Ghanaians on what he did. Ndc are more than Corona virus in Ghana! This is a disease scientists are finding cure and they will get cure at all cost by God's grace but where can Ghana get cure for the ndc a chronic disease on the necks of Ghanaians ! The lady was right to attribute ndc to CONVID-19 ! Give us a space to sanitize our hands and surroundings against ndc infection !
PLS Maame Yaa Aboagye! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, KINDLY RESPOND TO YOYUR DEPUTY YOUTH ORGANIZER'S COMMENT LAST WEEK. SHE HAD ALREADY DAMAGE THE CASE FOR THE COUNTRY FOR SAYING GHANAIANS SURVIVE UNDER 8 YEARS OF NDC HOWEVER, CONAVARIUS IS SMALL FOR NPP GOV TO SOLVE. YOU SEE THE PANIC IN TOWN CURRENTLY IS TO SEVERE THAN EBOLA TIME WHY? BECAUSE U HAD INVOLVE POLITICS IN CONAVARIUS THIS TIME. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH ALREADY EXISTING HARDSHIP IN GHANA.
