FEB 15, 2024 LISTEN

Ghanaians have showed their displeasure of how the Black Stars of Ghana performed at the 2023 africa cup of nations tournament in Ivory Coast.

As a result of that a coalition of football journalist decided to embark on a protest to save Ghana football.

The protesters marched across principal streets of Accra on February 14, Valentine's Day, to submit a petition to lawmakers at the parliament house.

Dressed in black and red while chanting protest slogans, the group reached the gates of Parliament and only a selected few were allowed into the premises to present the petition. However during the protest a pickup truck with bouquets believed to be headed into the legislature pulled up at the gates, the protesters refused to make way for it to drive in despite appeals by the police detail.

"Valentine? Is that what you are going to celebrate? Valentine?" one person is heard saying. Before long, they broke into chants of "no Valentine, no Valentine, no Valentine" while hooting at the driver and policemen.

Eventually, they forced the police to ask the driver to return the consignment because of the situation.
