A Communications team member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Brogya Genfi has urged President Akufo-Addo to be patient and listen to experts in drafting his next address to the nation concerning the COVID-19 restriction measures.

According to him he will not be surprised if the ban on public gatherings is lifted because the Office of the President has been under massive pressure by its own party members to lift the ban.

" . .  my advice to the President is that he should be very patient and vigilant in analyzing the precautionary measures associated with COVID-19," he said. 

He reitirated that the President should not be in a haste to satisfy the pleasures of his own party members.

Speaking on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' newspaper panel discussion segment, Brogya Genfi insisted that, "there will be a disaster in Ghana should President Akufo-Addo uplift the ban on the ongoing precautionary measures".
