But the leader of the Economic Fighters League in an interview said Professor Stephen Adei are people who have failed the country adding that Ghanaians shouldn't "waste our time over them."

"They have energy to slap the youth for standing up for their country but they have no energy to fix the economy, they have no energy to fix our country and make it a fair and just society for all of us. They have no energy to think and plan our country in such a way that our future is secured," he said.
