Prince David Osei Gives Nana Addo Up To Dec. To Work Out Ghana Else face Protest
Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has handed down an ultimatum to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to set right the affairs of the country.
In an Instagram post, he asked, “Mr President! With all due respect Mr President, why are you sleeping on Ghanaians?”
His post was in reaction to the World Bank’s declaration of Ghana as the country with the highest food prices in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“This is not acceptable Mr President? We deserve better”, he said conceding that the economic crisis is global in nature.
“But looks like you and your ministers are determined to inflict untoward hardship to the citizenry. I decided to give you and your government the benefit of the doubt, I reckon I was wrong!”, he continued.
The actor further threatened to organise a protest against the government if the challenges saddling the economy are not dealt with by December.
“The Youth of this nation are not smiling, it pours, but we are still sweating.. If things don’t change by December, we will mobilize the youth of this country and hit the street irrespective of party affiliations, whether NPP, NDC, CQQ, PNC whatever, doesn’t matter now, we are all in this together.. God bless our motherland 🇬🇭 We want to see improvement in our livelihoods”.
He suggested the President dismiss some of his officials if the need be.
“If you have to sack some people do it without fear or favor because your legacy is on the line Sir!!”, he said.
The World Bank in its October 2022 Africa Pulse Report ranked Ghana first among nations in Sub-saharan Africa with the highest food Inflation.
The report pegged the rate at 122%.
The Ghana Statistical Service reports that the country’s food inflation stands at 34.4% above the national inflation of 33.9%.
The first to comment on the post from Prince was actress Kisa Gbekle who only tagged the official Instagram account of President Akufo-Addo.
The rest sided with the actor.
