TV broadcaster, Gifty Anti has called on President Akufo-Addo to stop pampering Ghanaians and enforce a total lockdown of the country to prevent further spread of COVID-19.
Ghana’s COVID-19 cases have soared to 566 with 8 deaths and 4 recoveries.
The government, as part of measures to prevent further spread of the virus, has extended the restrictions on movement imposed on Kasoa, Greater Accra and Ashanti Regions by an additional week while the ban on social gatherings has also been extended by an additional 2 weeks.
The TV broadcaster, who tested negative for COVID-19 recently, was among over 1,000 persons who were compulsorily quarantined and tested after entering the country from coronavirus-hit countries.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, April 12, 2020, the TV broadcaster called on President Akufo-Addo to stop pampering Ghanaians and impose a total lockdown instead of the partial one.
She wrote: “Dear People of God, I think at this rate, I am compelled to join those calling for total lockdown. What? What is wrong with us? My people, when I got to the UK on 10th March 2020, there were 16 deaths. As of the time I was leaving on 22nd March 2020, the total number of deaths was close to 2,000. 2,000 coronavirus-related deaths, in less than 2 weeks. As of today, total deaths, due to coronavirus in the UK is about 10,000. All because they did not listen, just as Ghanaians are not LISTENING!!! Mr President, we can no longer do business as usual. I think you are over pampering us, Mr President. We will be the same people to blame and accuse you if this virus claims more lives. Please, something has to change and immediately too!!!”

who made her authority over this too? Just because you have a platform don't mean speak without thinking through
As touted as oheneyere what are your contributions in educating people about this pandemic. Total lock down? Because you and your husband can afford
What did you say when the few security personnel were taken to the cleaners for trying to enforce the stay at home rule? The government says stay at home, you disregard it and when you are disciplined, we have people talking of human rights etc. Yet when they contract the disease, the same people will blame the president for allowing people to walk around and contract the disease. What then do you want the president to do? You want to eat your cake and still have it. Get serious.
Kosi enkosi, koda enkonda!!! What a dilemma ? You enforce total lock dowdown so that we all can heal at one time eeeeeeee they will say we are dying , if you become considerate tooo eeeee they will lick us down. When you slap some one small for flouting the restrictions eeeee they will get journalist with their cameras all over when you leave them tooo the same journalist will ask what the govt is doing to enforce it. Look, I think Ante Gifty has been up close to the of the waters and she can tell how a crab coughs from the waters beneath ooooo. Enipa wo y3 ahomte ooooo
Madam, you paa, the same people will blame him. I and my party are waiting on the wings. What you failed to suggest is the means through which he the president should use to straighten us. If he uses force, the same Ghanaians will say human rights and the media will give space to non entity to flood the airwaves with his or her ignorance. What do you want the president to do?
