“Government Operatives threatening people who speak up why it should be so. Ghana is moving in a terrible direction. The President told us to be citizens not spectators but we can’t speak anymore, we can’t criticize. Even Journalists are being killed for fighting corruption. Ahmed Suale was killed. A whole MP sat on the TV and said if you meet him attacks him”.
“The youth must rise up, go on the street, and demonstrate against those who proffer democracy but don’t believe in it. Even in the election look at the people who were killed. Is this a democracy? Akufo-Addo came with a very good intention but it was deceptive. It saddens my heart”
