Mahama’s ‘Onuador’ vans only fit to sell ice-cream and Yoghurt- Abronye DC jabs

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe popularly known as Abronye DC has descended heavily on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) bigwigs for making ‘noise’ about the delays that characterized the distribution   of ambulances by Akufo-Addo-led government.

If you are at the point of death, the colours in the ambulance can give you the vim to survive. The inside is great”, he observed. “All those ambulances that were brought into the country…
