In all my years, this a one of a kind PR. Nobody ever released such a PR. OK is an intellectual at large. Whether you are political or not you still got my respect. Politics is just a battle of ideologies and shouldn’t separate us. Your self-awareness of the political atmosphere in Ghana is reassuring.
