"At that point, there is nothing the president could do. His handlers gave the people too much space. If they had acted Nanka by now, you same people would be saying he is still arrogant in retirement."
@GanyoBi__ said:
"If you knew how people used to freely visit and gather at Addo D's house in Nima before he became President, you would understand that he has always been very open and accessible to everyone."
