We’ve fallen into a deep crater as a result of the reckless borrowing and other forms of mis-governance by the President. We are dying. Mr Kpedu mentioned prior to kickstarting the demonstration.
The demonstration is to protest the economic hardship in the country, a similar event in 1995 which saw President Akuffo Addo in attendance and was named Kume Preko has yet been birthed again hence the name ’Kume Preko Reloaded’

Democratic culture is built on accountability, and demand of citizens for their lot. It is written into the fabric of democracy that, if the leadership, those who have sought the mandate of the people fail to deliver that mandate, people have the right to take back that mandate from them. We say sovereignty belongs to us as the people. So from time to time, we must demand it be returned to the people. This is what this demonstration is all about. The willingness to stand up against brutality, against a regime that is continuously being oppressive, this is what we are here to do, this is what the people have come here to speak against.
I’m not disappointed at the numbers, l thought l was coming to walk alone, but l came and met people more than l thought. People have showed up, so we are ok with it,” Oliver said.
