Presidential hopeful Percival Kofi Akpaloo believes that the hostility which was exhibited toward President Akufo-Addo over the weekend is the “tip of the iceberg”.
To Mr. Kofi Akpaloo, who is the founder of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), such reactions from the public are anticipated and not unusual, especially when things seem to go awry in the course of governance.
However, President Akufo-Addo’s case of the booing and jeers was borne out of the fact that he has over the period failed to heed the cries of the public.
The LPG party leader alluded to calls for the New Patriotic Party leader to reshuffle his appointees in the various leadership positions and said that the President downplayed the demands of his followers.
“I think the problem with the President at the moment is that people are not advising him well, because when it came to the period to reshuffle his appointees, he took things lightly.”
“If he effected the change in the government, people would begin to realise that you want to do something… but he took things lightly,” Mr. Kofi Akpaloo stated in his interview with Kumasi-based Angel FM.
According to Mr. Kofi Akpaloo, “The president as a person will not know what is happening on the ground.” Therefore, if the public is demanding certain changes, he must listen.
“All is not well with Ghanaians. Ghanaians are unhappy… When I saw this video, I said it was just the tip of the iceberg, because people in this country are unhappy. “Nobody should sit anywhere and think all is well,” he added.
