"It's pretty ironic when you think about it. Like in the heat of flood issues in the same region. Not that she doesn't deserve the award, I mean, I don't know the criteria, but there is this funny side of the whole thing, like they are saying."

"Mediocrity paaaa nie!!!!!! The Greater Accra Regional Minister is a loose talker. Reshuffle has to touch the Greater Regional Minister. Flooding all over the city. There are no street lights on major roads, storey buildings are collapsing, and people are dying. Aaah, Ghana."

"Reminds me of a CEO of a defunct bank who won CeO of the year twice in 3 years and yet his bank went under during the bank clean up. Who am I to talk about this one? A mere mortal like me."

"@JDMahama Mr President, this awards event is equivalent to NPP celebrating the passage of e-levy with cake. The longer these incompetent appointees mock the plight of Ghanaians, then maybe u are fully in support. Maybe I don't really care as we thought."
