Guru’s Appreciation Remarks: University of Ghana SRC President
Being there feels like a dream come true and I was willing to do everything for them. Yes, we tried. God being so good, my first year, I was also helping and sponsoring some of the hall weeks and collaborating with the SRC…We tried doing a lot.
I helped with the Evandi Hall Week Celebration. I was able to bring Mr Drew and co and it worked so well. I was about to do the Commonwealth (Hall Week). I had so many proposals just that we couldn’t execute it because the days on, the brouhaha started, he said.

It remains unclear circumstances leading to his disqualification though many have attributed to his engagement with students being purely on an entertainment premises instead of academic strides.
Other social media users have opined that his career background cannot be an impediment or judgement of what he can achieve as the SRC President but must be given the opportunity to exhibit what he can do.
