Under the rallying call #FixTheCountry, Ghanaians online have taken on the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government to task by outlining the various issues slowing the growth of Ghana, and its effects on citizens.
The planned demonstration has been met with either full support or mockery, with some people taking a swipe at some of the front runners of the planned demo.
Larbi Kofi wrote: "What does she do for a living? How has she through her social media contributed to fixing Ghana? It's funny how to understand things now. I weep for this country. Tweeeeeeea"
"She's one of Ghana's problems, how about she fixes herself first," jabbed Obaayaa Diamond Nyaarko Adomako.
"please kindly tell her to fix herself cos she's already condemned. after that then we talk later cos fools don't have any sense to teach lessons," added Christian Pee Tee Jnr
On the other hand, some social media users have also defended her rights and that of all other protesters to demonstrate.
"She has every right to speak or to demonstrate against what is going on in the country as nana Addo did 25 years ago. Everyone has their right to speak his or her mind without insulting anybody," commented Kofi Justice.
Nana Kweku Gentle also said: "Akuffo Addo led kumepreko demonstration 25years ago and today he is the president so if Efia leads upcoming demonstration, it's likely that she will be a president in the next 25yrs. If p then q. Future will affirm or deny this antecedent. Great move tho"
