Deputy CEO of MASLOC, Afia Akoto, has blasted celebrities who have been calling on President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo to use his authority as the current chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to intervene in the current 'EndSars' struggle in Nigeria.

It was earlier reported that a group of Ghanaian celebrities gathered together on Twitter with the sole aim of pleading with President Akufo-Addo to call the situation in Nigeria to order since Nigeria is part of the countries under "his watch" in the ECOWAS.

According to Afia Akoto, the celebrities who are calling on Akufo-Addo are unfortunately ignorant. She stated that she is disappointed in the level of thinking of Ghanaian celebrities to even go as far as exposing their ignorance to the world”.

She explained that Nana Addo is not directly authorised to intervene in matters like these especially when it's not his country, that the ECOWAS is not meant for issues like these. She further disclosed that Nana Addo is definitely working behind the scenes and they won’t put everything they do on social media.

"I have seen some celebrities posting and asking President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to say something. Please let me ask these celebrities ooo. Who told them it is through social media that issues of this nature get resolved. Or you want daily accounts on what he is doing as Ecowas chairperson."

"And please, he is the Ecowas Chairman meaning he chairs “a body” so he cannot be issuing statements like he is running a “one-man Facebook business” wai… Respectfully, stop exposing your ignorance here and shut up if you can’t add up."

"What you can do is to keep praying for our brothers and sisters and ECOWAS leaders to quickly resolve this and not just seek unnecessary attention at this time. Silence is indeed golden. Kindly tag them or copy them," she wrote on her Facebook page.

This follows after Yvonne Nelson, Lydia Forson, Nana Aba Anamoah, Kwame A-Plus, Bulldog, and many other people have been calling for the president to intervene.
