YEN.com.gh previously reported that radio presenter, Blakk Rasta had asserted that Ghanaian ancestors would have joined the #FixTheCountry if they could physically do so.
He made the claim during an interview with Citi FM's Dzifa Ametam as part of a number of Ghanaians who took to the streets of Accra to express their displeasure with the performance of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Gary Al Smith had taken activists of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the cleaners for claiming that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is fixing the country.
Some unhappy Ghanaians on Twitter have been venting their anger over what they say is the failure on the part of successive administrations to improve the lives of the citizenry through the hashtag “Fixthecountry.”
However, a group of NPP activists and foot soldiers countered the “Fixthecountry” campaigners with the hashtag “NanaIsFixingIt.”
