Residents of Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region have taken to the streets in protest under the banner of ‘Sekondi-Takoradi Deserves Better.’
They expressed their discontent with the deteriorating road conditions, underdevelopment, and what they consider inadequate governance in the area.
Demonstrators donned black and red attire while carrying placards bearing messages such as “Takoradi Deserves Better,” “We Are Tired of Poor Leadership,” and “Fix Our Roads.”
The Convener of the Concerned Youth of Sekondi-Takoradi, Samuel Gyimah, explained that their decision to protest was prompted by the longstanding neglect of their region.
“We are demonstrating because of the bad state of roads we have over here, hospitals, traffic lights are not working, streetlights are not working and the town is totally dark in the evening and nothing works over here.
“We want to go and ask our leaders if they are leading us to truth or they are just denying us of our rights.”
“We are demonstrating this morning because nothing works here and development is backsliding. The roads are terribly bad, unemployment is killing the youth and many things are not working.
“Leadership is not working so we have decided to speak and talk to leadership that we deserve better because many things that are used to develop the country come from the Western Region, of which Sekondi-Takoradi is the capital, yet our roads are bad and nothing works here,” Philip Fiifi Buckman, an aggrieved resident added.
