According to him, there is nothing extraordinary about what the new IGP is doing since he is only performing his duties as required of him when he assumed office, thus Ghanaians need to halt the unnecessary praise they heap on him all the time.
In an interview on Onua FM, Ola Michael stated that the new IGP has done nothing about the numerous fatalities that were recorded during the 2020 General Elections, neither has he apprehended some Gov’t officials for the same crime he arrested some people in Ghana.
“We need to stop praising him. Dampare, it’s getting sickening by the day. Is he doing anything about the deaths that occurred during the election? There were ministers and MPs brandishing guns, not to mention shooting them,” he said.
He further stated that the only thing that will surprise and make him heap praises on the IGP is when he rejects his salary but until then, he has done nothing outside the box to be given accolades by Ghanaians.
“What has he done to address this? I’m still waiting for him to reject his salary, at which point I’ll say, “Yeah, there’s a new guy.” Until then, it’s all a bit of a shambles. “Now that we’re in Ghana, people will start crucifying him,” he stated.
Ola Michael also stated that arresting celebrities such as Shatta Wale and Medikal would benefit their career path rather than harm them, thus the IGP must concentrate on more vital matters.
“When you believe you are punishing a celebrity, you are actually increasing their fan base and popularity. The IGP is doing well, but you should refrain from lavishing praise on him. He’s just doing his job. Do you get the same compliments on your work, AJ? He’s doing what he’s been paid and assigned to do,” he added.
