You were on your knees begging me to stand for you and now you don\u2019t want to push money,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr\u00a0Bameezina said \u201cpeople have started calling me in-coming MP. Don\u2019t be surprised I will not even vote for myself on that day because what she started yesterday I\u2019m not happy with her and I want the whole world to know that this woman is not a correct woman. All the posters I did it myself. Going to Accra back and forth, I paid my own bills. And the youth are saying that they have given me the money, and I don\u2019t want to spend it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, all the political parties including the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Decomcratic Congress (NDC) rounded up their rallies yesterday in Talensi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Godwin A.
