Addressing a thanksgiving service in Cape Coast, the Central Region capital, to mark the 71st anniversary of the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), John Boadu, also indicated the decision on the Ameri deal by government is purely on the basis of value for money audit that was carried out and many startling revelations are in the offing.
The governing NPP holds that it descended from the UGCC.
Addressing the party faithful after the sermon, John Boadu indicated that Ghana has a strong President in Nana Akufo-Addo who ensures nothing untoward happens under his watch.
