“I want to tell our Muslim and our Christian Leaders that we have coexisted for all this while. They should seize fire. Honourable Muntaka please seize fire. Let sit and solve our problem as we have done all this while. You go to conferences and people speak about Ghana. We are envy of several country, the number is equating we are even heading towards equilibrium and that is the reason why people must speak out and be heard and solve, once people speak out, issues can be solved”.

We know the history of Israel and Palestinians; they are brothers who didn’t solve their problems till date and they are waiting for the UN to solve for them. We should not wait for the UN to solve our problems for us, now that it has started creeping up, let solve it quickly before it gets out of hand”.
