Unrelenting Ghanaian movement, #FixTheCountry is set to intensify its activism in the coming days to push for a new Ghana, a hint given by one of the leading conveners, Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor.
Speaking in a Facebook live video on his Facebook page on Monday, May 23, 2022, the activist said he is aware his recent ordeals with the Police have broken the spirits of some followers.
While he is soldiering in, he asks that followers of the #FixTheCountry and all Ghanaians join the course of the movement to wrestle Ghana from leaders who have failed and continue to fail the citizenry.
In the video, Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor stressed that the movement as demonstrated since its birth has no plans to use violence to drum home their beliefs.
“We must show Ghanaians and the world at large that we have built a movement which over a year and nearly 10 demonstrations across the country has never resorted to violence. Not a single person has been injured at our demonstration, and not a single person was attacked or property destroyed.
“FixTheCountry abides by the law every day and it will forever abide by the tenets of our democracy. FixTheCountry believes in Justice and that is why we ask for a new Constitution that better serves our generation. Not one imposed on us by coup d’état which they are collaborators of,” the FixTheCountry Movement convener said.
He emphasised that the time has come for the Ghanaian citizenry to have not just peace in the country but enjoy the riches of the blessed land.
He said leaders cannot tell the citizenry to tighten their belts while they enjoy at the top at the expanse of the ordinary man.
“This is the time we show Ghanaians that we will not be made to choose between peace and poverty. We can have prosperity, not just for a few individuals, we can live in harmony with our neighbours, we can have all these things. They cannot impoverish us and threaten us when we demand anything different it means we want the end of our democracy. That is the illogic of a leadership that has lost the plot. We are better than them..We will continue our activism because we have a renewed hope that the new Ghana is possible,” Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor emphasised.
