Ghanaian politicians take the people for fools. Even those who love and trust them. It\u2019s sad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But after his comment, another social media user asked him whether he didn\u2019t understand the actual situation on the ground before mobilizing the youth to vote for the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>He commented: \u201cYou also didn\u2019t understand what was on the ground but we were supporting him and throwing shots here and there. You\u2019ve all disappointed the youth in the country big time ????\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But A Plus in his reply admitted &#8216;fooling&#8217; the youth into voting for the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>He also replied;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c@kwaku_abranti3 I humbly accept it. I hope all the others who campaigned do same. When we say things we cannot do the best thing to do to show that we have some respect for the people is to come back to them and accept our mistake.
