“Even here, at Abossey Okai, everyone works from morning till evening?” Napo questioned the gathering, highlighting the impracticality of a 24-hour economy in a context where most businesses do not operate round-the-clock.

“If we run a 24-hour disco, then Abossey Okai will collapse,” he warned, stressing that such a move would be detrimental to local traders.
He further argued: “If you hear someone speak about 24 hours, then it means they want to ruin Abossey. If we all attend disco who will sit here to work?”

According to Napo, the idea of a 24-hour is impractical and unrealistic.
“There’s nowhere in the world where people work 24 hours,” he stated, expressing skepticism about the promise made by the NDC leader.
“Even God who created the world sleeps at night,” Napo added.
