What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Independent presidential candidate and leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako alias Cheddar, has distanced himself from the protest led by the group, Democracy Hub, which has seen 39 demonstrators remanded into prison custody.

While acknowledging the frustrations of Ghana's youth, Nana Kwame Bediako emphasised that violence and protests were not the solution and asked for patience and peaceful action ahead of the 2024 elections.

Speaking during a break from his tour of Ghana’s 276 constituencies, Mr Bediako addressed the fallout from the three-day protest, urging the youth to seek change through knowledge and wisdom, rather than confrontation.
