A private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has expressed his enthusiasm and anticipation for President Akufo-Addo to step down from governance in approximately 16 months from now.
In an interview on 3FM Sunrise on May 31, the lawyer indicated that the president’s absence would provide Ghanaians with an opportunity to bring about a change in the governance system and better the lives of many.
“This morning as I woke up, my excitement was that very soon, in about 16 months to go, Akufo-Addo will no longer be president.
“It’s so exciting, yeah, very very exciting that at least, we have the chance to try again at improving our governance system because he has come to run down everything so that he can rule as a dictator. So, we have an opportunity to start afresh. It is exciting that at long last, the 8 years is almost over and Ghana can try again,” Martin Kpebu said on the show.
In addition, the lawyer urged Ghanaians to shed their timidity and embrace courage, highlighting that the prevailing cowardice has contributed to the mismanagement of the country’s economy, leading it to its current state.
He emphasized the need for a change in mindset and a willingness to confront the challenges facing the nation.
“Our timidity is something we should work on because as a people, I can’t just imagine that we sat down, sat down and sat down and just given the president the leeway to reign as a dictator.
“People are not talking enough; people are so timid. The country does not belong to the president alone. You remember him in opposition, he insulted everybody. Everybody was corrupt, every president was a thief and they did nothing. He was the only one who knew everything,” Kpebu concluded.
