This video from Joey was captioned 'It is finished Knust'. This person was so excited that he openly advocated for Nana Addo to win the 2020 elections.
KNUST seems to be the only tertiary institution in Ghana right now that is filled with so much joy. They would have written their mid-semester exams tomorrow, Monday, March 16. Good for them
The University of Education Winneba was no different as students could be seen happily dancing and rejoicing as the president made the late-night announcement.
Students were just too excited.
This video coming from the Kwame Nkrumah Hall of the University of Cape Coast topped all videos from the night. A resident of the hall was seen with his luggage going home immediately the announcement was made. Whois he to disobey the words of the president? How funny.
