After threatening to hold a protest if the economy does not improve by December, Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei found himself in the crosshairs of Twitter users. On Monday, October 10, the actor, who is a fervent supporter of the government’s New Patriotic Party (NPP), addressed President Nana Akufo-Addo in an Instagram post regarding the challenges the nation’s citizens are currently experiencing.
Prince claims that the President isn’t doing enough to “rescue” the nation.
In addition, he said that regardless of his political affiliation, everyone in the nation can sense the difficulty of the situation and that if a turnaround is not seen by December, he will organize a demonstration of the youth.
“Mr President! With all due respect Mr President, why are you sleeping on Ghanaians.. This is not acceptable Mr President? We deserve better, we know there are global crisis and hardship. Yes we know! But looks like you and your ministers are determined to inflict untoward hardship to the citizenry. I decided to give you and your government the benefit of the doubt, I reckon I was wrong! The Youth of this nation are not smiling, it pours, but we are still sweating.
“If things don’t change by December, we will mobilize the youth of this country and hit the street irrespective of party affiliations, whether NPP, NDC, CQQ, PNC whatever, doesn’t matter now, we are all in this together.. God bless our motherland We want to see improvement in our livelihoods.. If you have to sack some people do it without fear or favor because your legacy is on the line Sir!! @nakufoaddo,” Prince Posted on Instagram
[ruby_related heading="More Read" total=3 layout=1 offset=5]Many people were interested in Prince’s message, including Twitter influencer Kalyjay, who shared screenshots of it while reminding Prince of the time he opposed the #Fixthecountry protest.The #FixTheCountry movement was launched on social media in August 2021 by a few users on Twitter, including Kalyjay, to raise awareness of the social, infrastructure, and economic problems facing the nation.While the majority of Ghanaians backed the campaign, Prince David Osei and some NPP members opposed it, stating that before the country could be fixed, its citizens’ mindsets needed to be changed.
Prince appeared to be against the country’s improvement based on his opposition to the #FixTheCountry movement.
As a result, when he threatened to hold a protest in the present to voice his opposition to the nation’s current economic woes, Twitter users noticed and called him out for being a hypocrite.
Prince’s own words were used against him in a message by Twitter influencer Kalyjay, who demanded that he first fix himself.
Another well-known Twitter user claimed that Prince and his family will be the only people participating in the event.
