“Nana Addo is not showing any interest and sensitivity to the people of this country. He promised that he will protect the purse of this country and let us see the reckless spending that are going on. He is gallivanting all around chartering aircraft when the good people of this country, even common water to drink has become a problem. We are still experiencing ‘dumsor’, unemployment is on the rise and several other things.” He said
“We want to send a clear signal that the time has come for Ghanaians to be citizens as he indeed indicated we are not just going to be spectators but to be active citizens and send a clear message to the Akufo-Addo/ Baumia government that enough is enough and that is why you are seeing the people pouring into the streets. “
“… If they cannot rule, if they cannot exercise the mandate that the good people of this country has given them they should just clear off for a more competent and humane government to take over the affairs of this country. He added
