General News of Saturday, 7 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comLawyer and activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor has said his decision to consistently protest and speak against injustice is not motivated by a belief that Ghana’s leaders will necessarily change, but by a personal resolve to remain true to his principles. In a Facebook post dated February 6, 2026, Barker-Vormawor addressed a question he says he is often asked — whether he truly believes his activism can influence political leaders. “The reason why I do what I do isn’t so that I can change our leaders. It is so they don’t change me,” he stated. Barker-Vormawor noted that the real struggle for freedom goes beyond confronting unjust leadership and extends to battling personal greed and moral weakness.
