#OccupyJulorbiHouse: Ghanaians mount pressure on football stars to add their voices

Ghanaians on social media have called on past and present sportsmen to add their voices to the ongoing protest against bad governance in the country.

The #OccupyJulorbiHouse kickstarted on Thursday, September 21, 2023, to coincide with the commemoration of Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, which was a national holiday.
