Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong has given advice to Ghanaians keen to bring about change in their country upon their return from overseas.
He said that in order to succeed, they must take advantage of society’s ignorance and endure in the face of opposition.
In a recent interview, he addressed the challenges faced by returnees who aspired to introduce progressive changes in Ghana and emphasized the importance of taking control of one’s destiny and being resolute in one’s efforts.
“Now let me tell you, I am a politician, and I have always been hiding it, but let me tell you. Take your destiny into your own hands, be a different woman, and you will succeed.
“If you want to succeed, be happy that we have a bunch of ignorant people in this country; take advantage of it. In a society with a bunch of ignorant people, the few wise men succeed.
