The movement has been trending on social media especially Twitter for a few days. Efia Odo and her counterparts who spearheaded the movement revealed their intentions to protest against the government. However, it is reported that the Ghana Police has turned down the request of the demonstrators.
Musician cum politici an A Plus has reacted to the new development. According to him, the police service was showing a double standard of security service because two months ago, a demonstration was held against the former president John Mahama.
The Public Relations Officer of the Greater Accra Regional Police Command, DSP Effia Tenge, on Citi FM, said “the Police cannot sanction such illegality.”
“The Command received a letter of notification on Tuesday afternoon of an intended demonstration slated for the 9th of this month. The Regional Command met the convener, who was accompanied by one other person. We told them that we understand their standpoint but then, there [are restrictions] on public gatherings, as such, the Command may not be able to provide the necessary security for the proposed demonstration.”

A plus wrote on his Facebook, “Ghana Police Service, hypocrites!!! Shameless hypocrites!!! No wonder Dr. Nyankson is a senior police officer. Very typical of you guys. Just last month two demonstrations were held against president Mahama in Accra. One at kawukudi and the other at the International Press Centre. That time Covid-19 had traveled to Lesotho abi? Against John Mahama it was ok. Now that it is about fixing the whole country for all of us you are dragging your feet. Enemies of the state!!! This kind of bias policing has the tendency of getting you beaten like ASP Nanka Bruce when government changes.
You people don’t learn!!! fixthecountry #fixthecountrynow
