“Any lower Chief who must have endorsed an opposition candidate did so in his own capacity and not on behalf of the entire paramountcy,” Nana Odamba II added.
He said President Mahama needs commendation and special support because the vilification by his opponents is becoming intolerable amidst deafening cheers from the people gathered.
