Black Sherif reacts to the ongoing protests in Ghana.
Talented Ghanaian artist Black Sherif has offered his perspective on the recent protests against the current presidential administration in Ghana.
The renowned award-winning artist took to his social media platform on Thursday, September 21, 2023, to share his thoughts on the ongoing issues in Ghana, where citizens have taken to the streets to voice their grievances against the government in power.
As reported by Okay Africa, in the early hours of September 21st, 2023, Accra, Ghana witnessed a gathering of peaceful demonstrators outside a government building as part of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement.
Their primary objective was to express their concerns about President Nana Akufo-Addo’s handling of the ongoing economic challenges.
The protests resulted in several arrests by the police, sparking widespread outrage and backlash on social media. Among those sharing their sentiments was Black Sherif, who posted a message on X (formerly known as Twitter), which read:
“Left the UN Conference in New York City right after the president of Ghana’s presentation. I’ve never heard a figure like what he asked for from the UN. So if they carry all these money give dem, where them dey take pass? Hand on my heart I dey tell you there’s no evidence for all the moneys these people dey borrow in our name.
