That notwithstanding, some Ghanaians in reaction to this stated that the decision made by the supreme court is the right thing. Others were of the view that this is a win for the masses and that the revolution they have been asking for is going to be fulfilled. Some also agreed that indeed “revolution has come to stay”.
Nonetheless, others suggested that the demonstration should be planned in a way that, it will be the “biggest demonstration” the government has ever witnessed in the country. Agreeing with this suggestion, some netizens also suggested that they won’t relent on “going hard” on the leaders of the country.
Meanwhile, some opined that the only reason the Supreme court has nullified the injunction is because of what happened at Sir John’s funeral where people broke the covid 19 protocols in the full glare of the President and his Vice. According to them, this is just to sway Ghanaians from demanding that the President and the others involved in breaking the protocols face the law. These netizens vowed that they won’t lose focus as they will “campaign and still demand that the ‘law breakers’ face the law”.
More so, some have cautioned that they should bear in mind that it’s going to be a peaceful demonstration. Therefore no one should come with the mentality of vandalizing any property.
Aside this, some tweeps shared funny pictures of how they will hit the street when the demonstration date is set. Some reactions on Twitter read:

Earlier today, a unanimous decision by a five-member panel of the Supreme court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by making the restraining order to last indefinite.
According to the court, by the operation of law, the order which was secured ex parte by the police on May 6, 2021, is supposed to last for 10days, and therefore the High Court acted in error by making it indefinite.
The court gave the ruling after upholding in part a certiorari application by the #FixTheCountry Movement.
The Supreme court however dismissed the second leg of the application which was seeking an order to restrain the Ghana Police Service from interfering with the demonstration.
