Sarah Adwoa Safo noted that she was hurt by her party's actions as they constructed a wall and failed to do anything with the land after they demolished the property.

She said:

"It was power from above. What pains me the most is that they have only built around the property and done nothing over there. They demolished the property and just constructed the wall. The land is just sitting there. NDC has now returned to power. Go and do whatever you want to do with the land and let us see."
