Criticizing the current leadership for its flaws and ineffectiveness, Amoabeng advocates for a new direction defined by integrity, honesty, and universal respect.

At a stakeholder event in Accra celebrating his life and work on Saturday, Amoabeng emphasized the need for leadership that can positively impact people’s lives and reshape the country’s narrative.

He urged the adoption of similar leadership qualities in Ghana, stressing the need for leaders who are modest, fervent, and committed to enacting positive change.
