The purpose of the demonstration is to "protest against persistent and astronomical hikes in fuel prices by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government that has imposed excruciating economic hardships on Ghanaians."

"Demand a full scale and bi-partisan parliamentary probe into COVID-19 expenditures and protest against "the grabbing of State lands by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, particularly the de-classification of huge portions of the Achimota Forest reserve."

It stated that it is against the "increased rate of police brutalities and state-sponsored killing of innocent Ghanaians, as well as the growing culture of human rights abuses under the watch of President Akufo-Addo and Alhaji Bawumia and demands the total cancelation of the fraudulent 'Agyapa' deal."
