Photos: Our ancestors are not happy with you – Arise Ghana tells Akufo-Addo

Members of the Arise Ghana pressure group have told the Akufo-Addo administration that the president is not governing the country in the right direction.

During a demonstration in Accra on Tuesday June 28, the demonstrators held several placards with some the inscriptions indicating that “Our ancestors are not happy with you.”

Others also said “Stop recruiting hooligans into the the Police service, they are killing us; Akufo-Addo, you promised us cheap fuel, what is happening? La General Hospital demolished forever.”

Ningo Prampram lawmaker, Samuel Nartey George said members of the pressure group will continue to put pressure on the government to do the right things.

He called on the President to stop renting jets for his trips outside the country and resort to the Presidential jet which was used by his predecessor Former President John Dramani Mahama.

Addressing members of the pressure group during their demonstration in Accra on Tuesday June 28, he said “The President should stop flying in rented and luxurious jets and use the presidential jet that President Mahama used.

“One day, we assure all and like the Bible says, weeping may endure for a while but joy comes in the morning. Our joy will come on the 7th of January 2024/ But between now and December 7 2024.”

The purpose of the demonstration, according to them, is to protest against persistent and astronomical hikes in fuel prices by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government that has imposed excruciating economic hardships on Ghanaians.

It is also to protest against the imposition of “the obnoxious E-Levy on the already-burdened Ghanaian people by the insensitive Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.

“Demand a full scale and bi-partisan parliamentary probe into COVID-19 expenditures; Protest against the grabbing of State lands by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, particularly the de-classification of huge portions of the Achimota Forest reserve.

“Protest against the increased rate of police brutalities and state-sponsored killing of innocent Ghanaians, as well as the growing culture of human rights abuses under the watch of President Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia.”
