In 2013, the harsh economic conditions of the country would push a section of Ghanaians who would ordinarily be focused on running their business to form a ‘cult’ with a simple agenda, “campaign for change”.
The movement saw the middle class of the country’s populace take a stance against what they termed bad governance at the time.
Tonyi was one of such persons who took that stance and went on a demonstration which would send a clear signal to the leadership of the country that it was indeed time for change, except, few months to that protest, Tonyi and his Horseman Shoes brand had received an endorsement from then President, John Dramani Mahama – an endorsement money could not pay for.
Seven years on, and Tonyi Senayah is living in regret. Regret for taking part in a movement that some say, got John Mahama to suffer the worst electoral defeat any sitting President has ever suffered. His principle was solid – campaign for a better Ghana, but in the end, Tonyi is bitter about the ‘changed’ Ghana he now lives in.
