As a matter of facts l personally don't wast my time on focused of captain smart's lies,because l dont trust all what he says.He contributed massively to the downfalls of Mahama. Infact this guy called captain smart later acknowlegded the damages he politically inflicted against Mahama to vulnerable Ghanaians.Now here comes once again the same common enemy. He's just a well known agitator, the unseen wolve among the sheeps, judas among disciples ever prepared to betray his Master.Mahama must beware next time of this product.
