of the President was verbalized by no less a individual than Minority Pioneer Ato Forson,” parcels of the explanation studied.

“I had no question in my intellect that no exhortation from any quarters, religious,
social, social, or something else would convince Nana Akufo-Addo to sign it when displayed to
him. Those who had discussions with me long some time recently Parliament started to consider and to
pass the Charge will affirm my position on this matter,” it included.
