Speaking in an interview with TV3, which GhanaWeb monitored on Friday, September 22, 2023, Sadik Sulley noted that they are embarking on a peaceful protest and want the government to resolve their grievances to ameliorate their plight.

“I am really angry. I came here with two legs but probably I will leave here with one leg. We are very very angry. We will sit here., we are not here to fight anyone; we don’t have stones or guns; we are protesting peacefully,” he said.

“Or they thought we were going out to the Jubilee House to steal some documents or to steal $1m like Cecilia Dapaah? Oh no, we are not stealing money, just protesting peacefully.

“We are exercising our rights; we need good roads. I stay at Spintex; you have passed the motorway before right? I almost died on the Tema-Motorway because one driver did not know that there was a pothole, not even a pothole but a manhole,” SDK lamented in an interview with TV3.

Today marks Day 2 of the OccupyJulorbiHouse protest and a host of celebrities have joined the street march to voice their concerns to the government amid the crumbling nature of the economy.
