A Deputy Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Nixon Biney has picketed the office of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The exercise, Mr. Biney said, is in protest of the prevailing economic hardship.
He explained that his mission is to call Dr. Bawumia’s attention to the extreme economic hardships Ghanaians are going through and demand solutions for same.
He was joined by scores of other persons who shared in his plight.
Clad in red and black attire, the protestors chanted war songs to express their distrust in the head of the Economic Management Team.
Some of the hoisted placards had inscriptions such as 'Friends and Family' among others.
They subsequently submitted a petition to the Vice President's Office regarding their demands.
"The economy must get better, the exchange rates... government must do something about it. The fuel hikes, government must do something about it. People are suffering but the incomes are same," he told JoyNews after the protest.
