President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should be afraid, according to Peter Boamah Otokunor, Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, if he sees how many Ghanaians have turned out to oppose the country’s current economic difficulties.
He added that the president should be terrified of the people’s fury because the typical Ghanaian spirit is unyielding and cannot be quenched.
He responded to the first day’s fight between the police and demonstrators by saying that they are nonviolent protesters who want to express their “disquiet and abhorrence for the ineptitude and corruption of this government and nothing is going to stop us.”
Following the altercation from yesterday, the government had anticipated that people would disperse and not participate in the demonstration, but Ghanaians flocked to the area to make another statement, according to the NDC Deputy Secretary.
“I’m sure that what they did yesterday, they thought that they were going to instill fear in the people and nobody will come out, look at the numbers, look at the humongous numbers that are out, they are there to make another statement that Mr. Akufo-Addo, enough is enough we are tired of your aggression, we are tired of the tyranny, we are tired of the corruption, we are tired of the mismanagement, and that enough is enough,” he said.
Otokunor added that the current administration has no idea how to run the economy.
He added that nothing or no one will deter them from protesting. “We are going to do this demonstration over and over again,” he said.
Okada riders, kayaye girls, and persons from all walks of life have joined the second day of the ‘Arise Ghana Demo’. The protesters will be moving from the El-Wak sports stadium to the Parliament of Ghana.
