He explained that presidents all over the world are doing something positive for their people. However, that cannot be said of the sitting president of Ghana.

He further stated that it is not news, since former presidents have also suffered the same fate during their tenure.

If you are leading a people, you need to listen to them. You need to feel what they feel. And you ned to make their lives better. That is why we elect eladers.

He stated that if you are a leader and your followership is not in the right frame of mind, and conditions are also harsh, he rhetorically stated that,
