A youth activist and social commentator, Ivan Innocent Kyei is questioning Kobina Tahir Hammond “why has he not advised President Akufo-Addo with his wisdom?”
Mr. Kyei says if KT Hammond had any wisdom as he claims, this government wouldn’t be in the economic mess it is in since he would have advised the president on how to revive the economy.
The Adansi Asokwa Member of Parliament had taken on Ghanaian youth for the booing and hooting the president endured at the Global Citizens concert at the Black Star Square in Accra.
During President Akufo-Addo’s speech at the event, he was confronted with hooting and booing from a section of the youth who chanted him “away” “away” amid the noise.
But reacting to the incident, the man who has spent over two decades in Ghana’s Parliament said the youth have no brains to subject the president to such public intimidation, making them empty without wisdom.
He added the youth are poised to take power from they the old men and they’re not yet ready to hand over power to them.
Responding to his comments on Onua TV/FM’s Maakye Tuesday, October 4, 2022, Ivan Kyei said many have developed interest in the political landscape and it was time politicians accepted that the days of clinching power and governing within the circus of a few are over.
He wondered why 78-year-old Akufo-Addo would go to a youthful president like Macron to beg for loan to open a bank.
Mr. Kyei added the Ghanaian youth are not going to make any politician have a field day until things have become better.
“People are now showing genuine interest in the political landscape so if you’re a politician buried in antiquity, you see these strange. The politics of 20 years ago is not the same today. Peoples’ political consciousness have been awakened.
“If the youth were useless, why would Nana Addo go to his grandchild Macron to give him money to open a bank? The fact that you have grey hair doesn’t mean you’re sensible. Someone who has lost touch with reality is the one who will say the youth should shut up.
“Why hasn’t he advised Akufo-Addo with the wisdom he has on how bad things have become? The youth will continue to hammer until things become better and whoever ascends the highest office henceforth will not have a field day,” he fumed.
