He appreciated the efforts of President Akufo-Addo to protect Ghanaians, stressing: ”We are in a political age of maturity. So, we should look at Ghana first when issues are raised…We had the age of a visionary leader and we’re having an age of a matured leader. To sum up, all these are to move Ghana forward. When you explain yourself, it appears the young ones who have come up, I don’t know the force pushing them but they will not listen to wisdom or reasoning…This country has to move forward. So, we will speak out if someone does something good. I’m not a spokesperson for President Nana Akufo-Addo but when he is doing right, I will commend him for it. When it is wrong, I will say it.”
