In the video, KOKA argued that Randy Abbey does not deserve the position, claiming that he lacks knowledge and understanding of the cocoa sector.

“I want to ask you, Randy Abbey, who is a Ga, what has cocoa got to do with him? His own is kenkey and pepper. Randy Abbey does not understand the cocoa sector. He doesn’t even know how it is planted, let alone how it is harvested,” KOKA stated.
